Abstract

According to the Big Indonesian Dictionary (1990), lurik is a woven fabric that has a pattern of lines. In the Complete Javanese Dictionary (Mangunsuwito: 2002) the definition of lurik is a pattern of lyrics or lorek-lorek, which means lines in Indonesian. In this research, we tried to apply kinanthi style lurik fabric with the source of idea from lapis Surabaya on ready to wear dress, especially with yellow brown color. The object of study was the fashion collection “Kinanthi Asih: a collection of lurik kinanthi ready to wear dresses”. The research approach used was a qualitative survey using an online questionnaire as a data collection tool. The respondents involved were young adult women aged 18 to 25 years old. The results showed that the fashion designs with lurik kinanthi motifs received a high positive response from the respondents, with the three designs evaluated falling into the category that met the respondents' expectations. This means that the designs successfully illustrate the harmony between tradition and contemporary in the Indonesian fashion industry.
