Talking about the kebaya also means discussing the values it embodies; about the character and story that live in its every detail. The kebaya has long been a symbol of many regions in Indonesia. It continues to endure, its existence passed down from one generation to the next, and has become a favorite of Indonesian women.
Today, the kebaya comes in various styles. It is no longer considered old-fashioned. The kebaya reflects the wearer’s attitude and integrity, a glimmer of the purity of the human heart. Didiet Maulana wrote Kisah Kebaya based on his research, experience, and feelings about the kebaya. The result is a book that examines the kebaya holistically, serving as a guide and inspiration for Indonesian women in particular and Indonesian society in general.
