The Rhapsody Collection – Celebrating 30 Years at Jakarta Fashion Week 2025

The ‘Rhapsody’ collection encompasses BIASA Founder and Creative Director Susanna Perini’s vision behind the brand;“a one-movement work that is episodic yet integrated, free-flowing in structure, featuring a range of highly contrasted moods, colors and tonality; free in form with an air of spontaneous inspiration and a sense of improvisation.”Reflecting this musical and poetic essence, BIASA’s ‘Rhapsody’ unfolds through three interconnected stories: Harmony, Nature, and ‘Sangha’(community). Each narrative is beautifully and intricately woven together to present a collection that highlights the brand’s core values and is true to BIASA’s philosophy, legacy, and signature style of ‘Extraordinary Simplicity’.

PART 1: Harmony

 Inspired by the Balinese ‘Saput Poleng’, a sacred chequered motif that symbolizes the philosophy of mutual dualism: light and dark, joy and sorrow, good and evil.Presented in black and white and representative of the history of BIASA, these contrasting colors are a symbol of balance and harmony.

Distinguished by its focus on handmade artistry, each collection piece features intricate handwork, from embroidery and appliqué to artisanal macramé and hand-sewn finishes. BIASA signature archive styles are teamed with a distinct element of newness and homage to the past being brought to life; voluminous layered and multi-functional underskirts serve as an additional accessory to transform much-loved resort-wear attire into glamorous evening sensations.
