Kapanlagi.com - Ivan Gunawan proves himself once again as one of the most influential figures in Indonesia's creative and fashion industry. After two decades of work, he presents the Garis Poetih Raya Festival 2025 as a collaborative platform that brings together renowned designers, local brands, and international ones.
Met during a press conference in the Kebayoran area of South Jakarta on Friday (20/12/2024), Ivan Gunawan revealed that this event also serves as a venue or stage for renowned designers, local, and international brands to showcase their works.
“GARIS POETIH is a fashion platform that I created in 2023. As a designer, I have a responsibility to invite designers and brands to hold solo fashion shows. But considering that organizing a fashion show is not cheap, I intentionally partnered with them to share the stage and hold a fashion show together,” said Ivan Gunawan.
1. Event Lasting Three Days

This event will take place for three days, from January 16 to 18, 2025, at City Hall PIM 3, Pondok Indah, South Jakarta. This location was chosen by Ivan due to its strategic accessibility.
“We intentionally chose PIM 3 as the venue because it is easier to access,” Ivan added.
This year, the Raya Festival theme was chosen to showcase holiday fashion collections that have always been a trend among fashion enthusiasts. Ivan hopes these collections will inspire the public in dressing for the upcoming Idul Fitri.
2. Many Designers Showcase Collections

“What makes Garis Poetih 2025 special is that the clothing showcased in this event is the raya series. The trend of holiday fashion is always evolving, and this is what fashion enthusiasts are most looking forward to,” he explained.
The event will feature works from more than 20 Indonesian designers, one designer from Malaysia, as well as several fashion and cosmetic brands.
“More than 20 designers will be involved in this showcase, including one designer from Malaysia who will present their collection on the first day during the opening with fellow designers from IFDC,” said Ivan.
3. Broadcast Live Through YouTube Platform

Big names such as Danny Satriadi, Era Soekamto, Ghea Panggabean, Ria Miranda, and other designers will enliven this event. In addition, collaboration with Cotton USA and Ikat Indonesia will also add to the series of performances. Each designer will have the opportunity to showcase their collections in front of 350 different audiences.
This event is planned to be broadcast live through the YouTube platform, making it accessible to viewers in various regions. “Our fashion show will be broadcast live via YouTube. That’s why we need a good internet connection so that our broadcast can be perfectly watched anywhere,” said Ivan.
4. Collaborative Moments of Creative Industry Players

Ivan hopes that this show will not only be a fashion event but also a collaborative moment that strengthens the relationships among creative industry players in Indonesia. With thorough preparations made well before the fasting month, he wants to provide space for agents and resellers to order collections early.
“One of the reasons why it is held in January is because the holiday fashion collections need to be prepared two months in advance so they can be ordered by agents or resellers,” concluded Ivan.
