Indonesian Batik Pattern Found Among A Japanese Fashion Show! (with Interview)

Hello everyone, Navio here! 

So last month I went to a fashion show held in 杉野ドレスメーカー学院 (Sugino Doresumeeka Gakuin), or also well known as ドレメ (Doreme). 
The fashion show was held in order to show students’ final project upon their graduation. 

As you can see in the thumbnail, do you recognize something familiar? 
Yes! A batik pattern on the girl’s skirt. 

I do realize that some of you guys must have interested in studying fashion in Japan, and create cool stuff by learning from the experts. 
Doing that, and not forgetting about your origin is a different story.
