BINUS Northumbria School of Design (BNSD) is committed to supporting local values and heritage, and promoting Indonesia’s natural resources and diversity. A showcase for this is through fashion collections and fashion shows.

This year BNSD together with Harper’s Bazaar Indonesia promoted the richness of South Sumatra through ‘BNSD X Harper’s Bazaar: The Passage of Srivijaya’ virtual fashion show. The theme ‘The Passage of Srivijaya’ was inspired by South Sumatra’s traditional cultures, natural richness, and historical values. Furthermore, this show also told the story of the kingdom of Srivijaya, an empire based on the island of Sumatra which influenced much of Southeast Asia and was an important center for the expansion of Buddhism from the 8th to the 12th century AD.

Styled by Michael Pondaag (Fashion Director at Harper’s Bazaar Indonesia), ‘The Passage of Srivijaya’ featured ten men’s and women’s ready-to-wear collections by 17 young designers (12 students and 5 alumnae) from BINUS Northumbria School of Design.

Those ten collections were:
– APOENG by Michelle Angelica and Nabila Sudiro.
– SANJO BIRO by Vincentia Winnie and Tasya Aravinda.
