The series of activities of the 2025 Bali Fashion Week was officially inaugurated by the Chairperson of the Bali Provincial Dekranasda, Mrs. Putri Koster, on Tuesday (2 December). In her opening remarks, she emphasized that Dekranasda’s role extends beyond quality control of creative works to include the promotion of human resource development in the fields of fashion and crafts. Through the fashion shows and exhibitions held, Balinese micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are expected to further strengthen product quality while fostering an entrepreneurial spirit.
The Daily Chair of the Bali Provincial Dekranasda, who also serves as the Head of the Bali Provincial Office of Industry and Trade, I Gusti Ngurah Wiryanata, stated that the event provides direct benefits for designers and MSME practitioners. Under the theme “Wastra Hitakara,” which signifies both beauty and utility, visitors were offered a one-stop shopping experience featuring jewelry, crafts, handicrafts, and ready-to-wear fashion created by local artisans.
The Rector of ISI Bali, Prof. Dr. Wayan “Kun” Adnyana, was also in attendance to witness the fashion show featuring student works and to express support for ISI Bali’s active participation in promoting creativity and innovation among the younger generation in the field of fashion design.
