Creation of Muslim Party Clothes Inspired by The Jaran Bodhag Dance

Abstract

The development of the modest fashion industry in Indonesia has driven a growing demand for Muslim party wear that complies with Islamic law and maintains aesthetic value and cultural identity. However, the use of local culture as a source of inspiration in the creation of Muslim party wear remains limited. This study aims to describe the exploration of ideas, the creative process, the results, and the presentation of Muslim party wear inspired by the Jaran Bodhag dance, a traditional dance from Probolinggo, East Java. The research method used is Practice-Led Research, with stages including exploration, design planning, creation, and presentation. The visual characteristics of the Jaran Bodhag dance are applied to the designs through the use of A- and I-shaped silhouettes, the development of skirt shapes, three-dimensional floral details, dangling sequins, and the Smock Honeycomb technique as the main texture of the garments. The research results in three Muslim party wear pieces: one for women, one for men, and one for girls, with artistic, dynamic looks and local cultural characteristics. The colors rust, baby powder, and black were chosen to create an elegant impression while maintaining the visual character of the Jaran Bodhag dance. This research is expected to innovate in the development of locally based Muslim fashion that is creative, aesthetic, and culturally valuable.
