Kapanlagi.com - The name Wilsen Willim is shining brighter as a young designer who has successfully revolutionized the way we view batik and kebaya. One of his most iconic works, the high-waisted batik skirt paired with the janggan model kebaya, has now become a trend in its own right and is favored by many top celebrities. From Luna Maya, Maudy Ayunda, Raisa to Chelsea Islan, they have all worn his designs, even on international stages such as the Cannes Film Festival.
However, Wilsen's journey to the spotlight of the fashion world was not instant. Coming from outside the capital, he brought big dreams and high spirits to pursue his passion in fashion after completing his studies in fine arts. His minimalist and clean design style is enriched with the pinwheel origami technique that has become his trademark.

However, since his collaboration with Warisan Budaya Indonesia (WBI) and Cita Tenun Indonesia (CTI) at Jakarta Fashion Week 2023, he began to take an interest in Nusantara textiles. His love for batik and weaving grew over time, making him a young figure dedicated to reviving the values of Indonesia's cultural heritage in contemporary works.
Throughout his journey, Wilsen is also known as a designer who actively collaborates with artists from various parts of the world, such as Eddie Hara, Douglas Diaz, and Manda Selena.
