Story & heritage
Imola sits in Biyan’s formal dress vocabulary: a long cape construction that foregrounds the house’s theatrical eveningwear rather than everyday tailoring.
Biyan Wanaatmadja founded the BIYAN label in 1984 after European fashion training and early atelier work in Surabaya; current retail presentations continue to frame the house around Indonesian craft, romantic detail and couture-level embellishment.
Materials & craft
The retail product details list sheer silk chiffon with velvet fil coupé patterning, metallic gold details, a black slip dress, gemstone embellishment at the high crew neckline, a back zipper and a floor-length hem. The fabric composition is listed as 35% silk, 30% rayon and 15% polyester, with a 95% polyester and 5% spandex slip, made in Surabaya, Indonesia.
How to choose & style
Let the cape supply the drama: keep shoes narrow, jewelry close to the face and outer layers minimal so the tiered back remains visible.
Choose Imola for black-tie dinners, gallery openings or ceremony dressing where movement matters as much as surface detail.
