1. Don't Wear the Wrong Costume: Too Casual or Too Glamorous, Big No!
T-shirts and shorts may be fine for hanging out, but not for the Textile Parade. On the other hand, dressing too lavishly can also make you look out of sync with the warm and inclusive vibe of this event. Choose an outfit that is polite and in line with the cultural theme. Ethnic but still effortless!

2. Stop Negative Comments About Traditional Styles
Remember, every textile has a story and value behind its motifs and colors. Don’t rush to judge something as strange or 'inappropriate' just because you’re not familiar with it. This is your opportunity to learn and open your eyes to the richness of our culture.

3. Not Every Place is Suitable for a Selfie
Some traditional fabrics have sacred and philosophical meanings. So, hold off on your desire to take selfies if you are in front of an important display or a model striking a pose. Respect it as you would respect a masterpiece painting, because fundamentally, that’s exactly what they are.

3. Express Your Creativity, The Prizes Are No Joke!

The Nusantara Textile Parade 2025 is not just a place for eye candy, but also a stage for you to showcase your creativity. Join the mix & match textile competition and show off your best style!
