"Dream - There are increasingly more modern-styled kebaya designs sold both offline and online. Many people also make their own kebaya with designs from social media. As a result, more and more Gen Z are wearing kebaya when attending important events or celebrating National Kebaya Day. The high interest of Gen Z in wearing kebaya has also created a new trend, which is the Korean-style crop top kebaya."
According to its name, the kebaya has a design similar to a crop top. Its size is adjusted to the body shape and is made using lace and satin, just like a typical kebaya. The Korean-style crop top kebaya is paired with batik fabric to strengthen the elements of local culture.
"However, some netizens feel disturbed by the Korean-style crop top kebaya term. This is because the kebaya does not have the same design as the Korean-style crop top kebaya even when worn with batik fabric."
The founder of the Funky Kebaya Community and National Chair of the Indonesia Fashion Chamber (IFC), Lenny Agustin, gave a different response to the trend. According to her, the trend of Korean kebaya or crop top kebaya should not be a problem.
“Actually, the word kebaya itself refers to a type of clothing from the past. The shirt, top, or outerwear is called ‘kabay’ or ‘kebaya,’ which also originates from a foreign language. The term itself means it is a top. So if it’s called a Korean kebaya, that’s fine. We consider it not the kebaya we mean. Just think of it as a top, blouse, kebaya,” said Lenny when met by Dream at the MUFFEST+ event, Thursday, August 8, 2024.
The translation of "Tren yang Menguntungkan" to English is "Profitable Trends".
"Lenny also considers the trend as an advantage because the word 'kebaya' could become popular. He hopes that this trend can encourage the community to increasingly introduce and wear the traditional Indonesian kebaya on various occasions."
“It's misleading, yes, it's misleading. But with the Korean word, actually it's not misleading either. Sometimes our society likes to get angry and then ends up falling in love. In the past, batik was taken by ‘neighbors’, got angry and then batik became a boom,”
The translation of "tuturnya." to English is "his/her speech."
This trend also shows that Korea seems to be hit by the 'Indonesian wave' because their clothing looks like the Indonesian kebaya. 'Because Korea itself imitates our kebaya style with tight blouses. The hanbok itself is not like that. Then they wear bottoms similar to fabric, yes we appreciate that. So that it's not just us who are hit by the Korean wave, but they are also hit by the Indonesian wave,' she concluded.
