Abstract

This study is a creative research focusing on evening wear inspired by the Kresnayana reliefs at Penataran Temple. The objectives of this creation are: (1) to describe the fashion creation process using the Kresnayana reliefs at Penataran Temple as the source of inspiration; (2) to describe the final outcomes of the fashion creation based on the Kresnayana reliefs at Penataran Temple; and (3) to describe the presentation of the fashion works inspired by the Kresnayana reliefs at Penataran Temple. The research method refers to Hendriyana’s creative research methodology, which consists of four stages: pre-design, design, realization, and presentation of the work. The results of the creative process are as follows: (1) The fashion creation process begins with theme exploration through a moodboard, which is then developed into 30 design sketches and selected to obtain three final designs, consisting of two female designs and one male design. The realization stage includes model measurement, pattern making, sewing, and garment finishing. (2) The creative outcomes consist of three evening wear garments—two female outfits and one male outfit—which received overall evaluation scores of 49, 58, and 56 from three judges, with an average score of 54.3. (3) The presentation of the fashion works was conducted through a Work Exhibition as well as fashion shows at the Grand Jury event and the 36th  Annual Fashion Show “MAHATRAKALA” 2025.
