"Initially, I was inspired by the stone doors in Jordan and the desert atmosphere there. I brought the desert's light atmosphere through the replica of sunlight that can be seen in the motifs of this collection," Ivan said.

For this collection, Mandja Hijab presents a total of 52 collections. Consisting of 40 women's fashion collections and 12 men's fashion collections.

"My collection has a relaxed look, using chiffon with thin lines, so my collection is very light and easy to carry while traveling. It's very lightweight," he said.

For this collection, Mandjha Hijab offers various silhouette options, both loose cutting and fitted, to create a slim impression for the wearer. Ivan also revealed that due to the high demand for Mandjha Hijab, he has introduced clothing in sizes that can be worn by anyone.

"This time I made it free size with a loose model. So it can be worn by those who usually wear sizes S to double XL," he said.

There are three main signature color themes for this 2023 Raya Collection, namely the nuances of ash grey combined with a touch of yellow smoke and pink powder.

"The motifs on the clothes are derived from the sun motif that I have transformed into beautiful motifs," Ivan explained.

On the other hand, Ivan admitted that a portion of the proceeds from the sale of his clothes will be donated to the mosque he built in Uganda.

"I intend to use part of the proceeds for Uganda. I want to see my mosque directly, I want to bring calligraphy orders, prayer rugs, and prayer garments. I want to go to Uganda to beautify the mosque there," Ivan said.
