Indonesian Designer Temma Prasetio Showcases Strength and Sensitivity in His New Collection
‘Beautiful Masculinity’ features sharply tailored pieces and wearable silhouettes that explore a new identity for men’s fashion
New masculinity
Indonesian designer Temma Prasetio recently debuted at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Kuala Lumpur 2025 with ‘Beautiful Masculinity,’ a resort collection that redefines strength through elegance, tailoring, and structure.
Known for incorporating Indonesian traditional textiles into his modern menswear pieces, Temma Prasetio went out of the box for this new collection, featuring a variety of fabrics not typically seen in his past work: wool, scuba, and leather-look materials, offering tactile richness and modern appeal. Sharply tailored pieces and wearable silhouettes in earthy tones exude a masculine aesthetic that is both powerful and poetic.
Signature pieces include bomber jackets, collarless shirts, and a standout reinterpretation of the beskap — a traditional Javanese shirt — and sarong, giving a minimalist and modern edge. Completing the looks are leather sandals and suede loafers from MARIO MINARDI.
“This collection is about exploring a new identity for men’s fashion — one that allows space for strength and sensitivity to coexist,” said Temma after the show. “I wanted to present Indonesian design on a global stage, not limited by traditional textiles, but still inspired by our cultural silhouettes and spirit.”
A graduate of private Italian fashion school Instituto di Moda Burgo, Temma first gained recognition as the runner-up in the 2018 Perancang Mode Menswear competition at Jakarta Fashion Week (JFW). Beyond his home country, his works have also been featured at Indonesia Fashion Week (IFW), Jakarta Fashion & Food Festival (JF3), and Dubai Fashion Week.
‘Beautiful Masculinity’ is now available at fashion concept store PILLAR, where Temma held a launch party with close friends and family, and a styling session with Indonesian influencer Tysna Saputra.
