About Me
Innovative Fashion & Textile graduate from Uni of Portsmouth
Jocelyn Lucky is an Indonesian designer who actively challenges herself to approach design ideas with unconventional methods while also integrating her own heritage into her work. With some experiences in working with clients, she developed the practice of self-initiation and strong determination in achieving her exploratory ideas in design and production.
Questioning and challenging the norm have always piqued my interest in design. In my exploratory practice, I have discovered ways to achieve unconventional ideas by dedicating my time to research then try out & revisit samples, to accommodate design wearability. By adopting both modern & traditional techniques, my collection aim to serve innovative, contemporary outcome, narrated in the lens of rich cultural heritage. The passion for constant learning drives me to look at different perspectives in an occurring issue, thus providing a wider source to use as my design inspiration and approaches.
INSPIRATION
Interconnection of modern & traditional issues.
The diminishing of Batak culture and the issue of electronic waste are the inspirations behind this collection. The practice of traditional hand weaving to make their traditional Ulos textile is becoming rare and as the demand of Ulos rose, sourcing and using natural dyes is no longer in use. Production of Ulos textile now shifted to synthetic coloring. Alongside it, Indonesia’s vast technology development and competitive electronic prices trigger the escalation of electronics throw-away culture.
The lack of spotlight on electronic issues inspired me to explore ways to reuse e-waste as it is considered as “the fastest growing waste stream in the world”, especially after the pandemic. Chemicals & heavy metals could cause contamination and cause severe health consequences. As Indonesia is currently one of the world’s largest consumers in electronic, I am inspired to draw in the connection between Indonesia and e-waste issues, by implementing discarded electronic into traditional-inspired silhouette.

DETAIL
The exploration of overlooked & unconventional global concerns.
With the aim of challenging and questioning the relationship between humanity and technology, this collection seeks to utilise traditional and modern elements of Batak culture and electronic waste into each of its design pieces. Influences from traditional attire of Batak people could be identified from the exaggeration of both shoulder designs, a cable-weaved detachable corset textile, a traditional house-shaped inspired corset, and a traditional Ulos-inspired printed fabric, draped & tucked into the false-draped skirt to further showcase their rich cultural heritage. From the three suit jacket layers to detachable electronic textiles, the commitment to design for longevity is shown by implementing detachable layering, thus allowing for creative styling. The relationship between human and technology is explored by incorporating unconventional materials such as motherboard, keyboard keys, cables, and clothing tags as textile to challenge the ways to include discarded electronics into enhancing daily wear.
Curiosity paths the way to endless possibilities.
