RAIHAN Fahrizal is the first Indonesian model to grace one of the world’s prestigious fashion weeks, namely “Paris Fashion Week 2024”.
According to the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Sandiaga Uno, in The Weekly Press Briefing which was held in a hybrid manner, at the Sapta Pesona Building, Jakarta, Monday (01/22), 2024, said this was very encouraging and really cool news. The success of this achievement is certainly a trigger for the Indonesian fashion industry to create an even better fashion ecosystem in the future.
“Raihan, who is a model born in Bandung, appeared on the runways of two international labels, namely Louis Vuitton on January 16 2024 and Solid Homme on January 17 2024. Paris Fashion Week 2024 itself was held on January 16-21 2024 in Paris, France. On the Louis Vuitton runway, Raihan presented the Men’s Fall-Winter 2024 collection designed by Pharrell Williams, Creative Director of Louis Vuitton,” he said.
He explained that Raihan looked stunning in a brick red suit and loose trousers combined with a white shirt. Raihan’s appearance was even more complete with leather boots with a snakeskin pattern and a black bag that he carried along the runway.
“We hope that in the future more models and works from Indonesian designers will be displayed at Paris Fashion Week. It is also hoped that the country’s fashion industry will continue to develop and advance so that it can become a host in its own country. And of course, the Indonesian fashion industry is expected to have strong competitiveness so that it can compete with international brands,” Sandiaga remarked.
This also applies to Indonesian Muslim fashion. Where President Jokowi wants Indonesia to become the world’s Muslim fashion center.
“For this reason, we must further optimize this fashion subsector with training, marketing and capital. Because this is a message from President Jokowi who wants to make Indonesia the center of modest fashion in the world. “Until now, the fashion subsector is still the mainstay of Indonesia’s creative economy exports with a contribution value of 61.5%,” he concluded.
