Fashion Batik Indonesia
Batik cloth is probably Indonesia's most famous artistic and cultural legacy and was recognized by UNESCO in 2009 as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity; an award that reflects the continuing importance that batik plays in the cultural life of the Indonesian people.
Batik is popular for a number of reasons. Traditional hand-painted batik is extremely durable, meaning that a single quality piece can last for generations. In the 1960s however, batik began to be associated with Indonesian nationalism.

Batik lost popularity in the following decades as the country modernized and Western fashions became increasingly ubiquitous. Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono often wears batik shirts, as do many other politicians and public figures, and Nelson Mandela, former President of South Africa is also fond of batik.
