Fashion designer Musa Widyatmodjo believes fashion is like wearable art.
His recent fashion show/dance performance, "Dara Fashion Performing Arts" told the story of a Minang woman who was in love with an ethnic Chinese man.
Just like in real life, they faced the obstacle of cultures and norms in Indonesia when they decided to marry.
Nonetheless, the show had a happy ending: the couple received the blessings of both sets of parents. But it was their wedding that intrigued the crowd.
"I want to resurrect Indonesian traditions that were long buried."
Musa also hoped the show would inspire others to merge fashion with tradition.
