RIAMIRANDA x Binary Style Collaboration: Weaving Southeast Asian Heritage in Singapore

Kapanlagi.com - For travel enthusiasts, Singapore always has a way to capture the heart. From the row of grand shops on Orchard Road to the historical traces in Kampong Gelam, the city seems to blend the past and the future in one breath. In 2025, there is a new reason why Singapore deserves a spot on your travel list, which is the presence of the exclusive collection RIAMIRANDA 'PHINISIA' x Binary Style that brings cross-cultural stories of the archipelago to the international stage.

This special pop-up store is located at DORS Singapore, Design Orchard, an iconic shopping destination on Orchard Road. Imagine, while you are strolling through the heart of Singapore's fashion district, you can discover the collaborative works between Indonesia's leading modest fashion label, RiaMiranda, and the local design studio Binary Style. A fascinating meeting point between RiaMiranda's soft aesthetics and the storytelling scarf motifs of Binary Style.

Not only about fashion, this collaboration also has a historical touch. The inspiration for the collection is rooted in Kampong Gelam, a historic area that once served as a trading hub between the archipelago and the world. Its presence symbolizes a new spirit in RIAMIRANDA's journey abroad.

1. Collection Details Representing Cross-Cultural Stories

The PHINISIA collection is a tangible representation of cross-cultural stories from Southeast Asia. Inspiration comes from shared symbols, maritime history, and textile heritage. The result is a multi-category fashion that can be worn for both modest wear and contemporary style.

Some of its standout items include:

- Bugis Shirt: Marley silk

- Desker Shirt: Shiro signature fabric

- Cluny Outer: Marley silk

- Robertson Outer: Arnami silk

These designs combine the characteristic scarf prints of Binary Style, transformed into clothing full of character, featuring pleated fabric with printed motifs, double-sided scarves, and special patterns that allow for multifunctional styles. The silhouettes vary, ranging from casual drapery shirts to elegant outerwear, enriched with playful border details and full-print applications. This creates a new way to enjoy scarf art that is more wearable and modern.

2. Visual Detail Full of Meaning

This collection has strength in its visual details that are rich in meaning:

- Orchid Motif: a symbol of unity between Indonesia and Singapore

- Historical Trail Prints: inspired by nutmeg, pinisi ships, mega mendung batik, songket, to archaeological heritage

- Pinisi Style: a tribute to the maritime tradition of the Bugis people

Each piece is not just clothing, but a story of cultural journey presented with a modern and urban touch.

3. The Story Behind the Collaboration

The collaboration between RIAMIRANDA and Binary Style was born from a shared vision, which is to celebrate the richness of cultural heritage while pushing the boundaries of design. It is no surprise that Kampong Gelam was chosen as a symbolic backdrop, as this area has long been known as a trading center between the archipelago and the world.

"Our expansion into Singapore is not just a new chapter for RIAMIRANDA, but also a dream we have nurtured since the beginning of our journey," said Ria Miranda, Founder and Creative Director of RIAMIRANDA.

"For years, we have carried the vision of bringing Indonesian modest fashion identity to the global stage. Singapore, as a cultural and trade hub of Southeast Asia, is the perfect place for our first step. This collaboration is very special, as it brings together two creative worlds: our soft and modest aesthetics with the bold and vibrant storytelling prints of Binary Style. Together, we present not just clothing, but a collection that carries history, values, and the spirit of Southeast Asia into the future. My hope is that PHINISIA can be a bridge that connects cultures, inspires women, and celebrates the beauty of our heritage in a modern form."

Enthusiasm also comes from Binary Style. "This collaboration is a celebration of our shared regional heritage," said Sari & Shanty, Founders of Binary Style.

"From orchid motifs to the maritime stories of pinisi, each print is a bridge between cultures. Working with RIAMIRANDA allows us to see our designs transformed into clothing that is not only beautiful but also full of meaning, appealing to a new audience in Singapore and the world."

The RIAMIRANDA x Binary Style PHINISIA collection, supported by the Singapore Tourism Board, can be found exclusively at the DORS Singapore Pop-Up Store, Design Orchard from September 20 to October 20, 2025, and in limited quantities at riamiranda.com.
