A SUSTAINABLE FASHION DESIGN: APPLICATION OF SURABAYA BATIK WITH JALESVEVA JAYAMAHE THEME AND TUCKING TECHNIQUE IN READY-TO-WEAR FASHION

Abstract

This study aims to create ready-to-wear clothing that combines modern and traditional elements through the application of Jalesveva Jayamahe batik motifs, fabric manipulating techniques (tucking), and lurik fabric. The method employed is the Double Diamond Model, consisting of four stages: Discover, Define, Develop, and Deliver. These stages involve idea exploration, moodboard creation, design development, and product realization. The study resulted in five ready-to-wear clothing designs using a combination of materials such as toyobo fabric, linen, denim, and Jalesveva Jayamahe batik. The selection of yellow, navy, black, and denim colors provides an elegant visual harmony, while lurik fabric adds a traditional touch. The fabric manipulation technique offers unique dimensions to the clothing, while the Jalesveva Jayamahe batik motif conveys philosophical values of courage and Indonesia's maritime glory. This collection integrates modern aesthetics with cultural heritage, creating products that are comfortable, versatile, and suitable for various occasions. The study demonstrates that traditional cultural elements can be creatively incorporated into the modern fashion world to produce works of aesthetic and meaningful value.
