- Abstract
Kebaya as a form of Indonesian female clothes has experienced big changes in its looks. Contestation has happened between the traditional kebaya and the modern one since fashionable kebaya was introduced by an Indonesian kebaya designer, Anne Avantie. By considering the cultural practices and preferences of the individual and group behavior toward taste, this study intends to investigate some forces that influence the shifting of trends in kebaya designs, from the traditional designs to the fashionable kebaya. The need of this study stems from the scarcity of research dealing with the contestation in the borderless world, between tradisional kebaya and fashionable kebaya. An analysis of the cultural, social, political and technological influencing the consumption of fashionable kebaya is conducted in order to find out what forces influence the shifting trends of kebaya designs. Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts of field and taste are used to study and analyze deeply the power relation, contestation taking place in the field of kebaya and its effects towards the structure of kebaya field. This study applies a qualitative method and a media ethnography approach. The research finding shows that kebaya trends have been influenced by the political reform, social and cultural exposure. Interconnectivity in the borderless world and the rapid development of new media technology have important roles in this social movement
