The Creative Mind Behind Jadi Batek's Debut Collection

Kel Wen ~ the Creative Director

From directing the creative direction of the brand , his best strength is that he reins in inspiration from various sources from childhood memories, to everyday memorable moments and incorporate them in his fashion designs.

The Art of Batik

In simple term, Batik is an art to decorate cloth with wax as resist method. Batik is an old form of art which loosely translated means to dot, while some have even translated it as wax writing or drawing with a broken line, batik is essentially a crafted fabric that needs to undergo the delicate and repeated process of waxing, dyeing and boiling. Wax is used as a mean of color blocking in the coloring process. Every part of the fabric that remains untouched by a certain color has to be covered with wax.

Our collection this time consists of intricate Batik Canting and Batik hand-blocking techniques. They are all then hand painted by fellow artists to achieve the bright and striking colors following the color scheme for our Lunar New Year collection.

Inspiration Backstory

We created prints of iconic Chinese heritages and culture - the traditional Taiwan Peony floral print, Plum Blossoms, the Ming porcelain and the Chinese painting.


The main collection is with the Taiwanese Peony flower, which was traditionally digitally printed from Taiwan’s collective memory in the 1960s and 1970s. We then remake it in the form of Batik by making a Batik cop.


The color blocking concept was an inspiration derived from the childhood memory of one of his uncle’s artwork that Kel Wen then recreated into fashion to reminiscent the beauty of clashing floral prints.
