Indonesia in America


Lately, it seems as though the United States is hungry for a taste of Indonesia. Stars such as Jessica Alba and Drew Barrymore (right) have been spotted carrying Batik bags, identical in their Jogjanese patterns. American singer and fashion sensation, Lady Gaga, wore a gown made by a young Indonesian designer, Tex Saverio, in the May edition of Harper's Bazaar magazine. A San Francisco art museum recently housed a Balinese inspired exhibit, fully equipped with carved wood, painted temple images, and even a gamelan concert. It is no surprise that Indonesian culture is increasingly gaining momentum in America. After all, Donna Karan, the creator of the American fashion label DKNY, declared Bali as her “favorite place in the world...where the mind, body, and spirit truly connect.” (based on goodnewsfromindonesia.org)
