LONDON FASHION WEEK SS 2026
On September 20th, the MERONA collection came to life at The Grand Connaught Rooms, sharing its debut preview for London Fashion SS26.
MERONA is more than a collection; it’s a love letter to the master weavers of East Sumba, Sikka, Tanimbar, TTS/Amanatun/Mollo, Malaka/Besikama, and the Iban & Benuaq tribes. We’ve transformed their handwoven treasures into boundary-breaking designs—asymmetrical cuts and layered silhouettes brought to life with the vibrant soul of Indonesian natural dyes.
This is a story of resilience and heritage, carried from the hands of artisans to the world stage. Our vision is clear: to honor our culture, champion sustainability, and prove that true elegance shines beyond all borders.
This moment was made possible by the incredible support of so many. My deepest gratitude to:
-Geoff Cox and team
-Edric Ong
-Mrs. Sahadatun Donatirin (Deputy Ambassador of Indonesia in UK)
-Mrs. Sari Percaya
-Mrs. Dewi Petroliza
-Mrs. Dewa Ayu Nyoman Candra Sari.
To my wonderful family and friends from the Tarakanita Alumni: Joy Gobel & Restu, Rilya, Hana, Melly, Vania, Dee Aguire, and Raquel Simmans.
Last but not least, my heartfelt thanks to my husband Eddie Widiono ❤️ for his generous support in making this event possible, and to my precious Team at Rumah Rakuji. A special thanks also to @forrealforril for helping me with the preparation and lending me her gorgeous jewelry from @jumpanonaofficial❣️
