Abstract

The evolving fashion landscape has spurred people in the Solo region to compete in creating new trends with artistic value as an integral component. The growing fashion demand has led to the expansion of the textile industry in Solo, which, in turn, has environmental implications. Leveraging its rich natural resources, Solo has embraced the opportunity to foster the creative economy through ecoprint, an eco-friendly fabric printing technique. Ecoprint employs natural resources like leaves and plants to imbue fabric patterns with philosophical depth. This eco-conscious approach offers the Solo fashion industry an avenue to mitigate its environmental footprint. The active involvement of women in fashion underscores the relevance of empowering women through ecoprint. This research aims to scrutinize women's role in enhancing creativity in Solo through ecoprint. Employing field observations, it directly examines female artisans practicing ecoprint in Solo. The observations demonstrate how women's engagement in ecoprint can elevate creativity within the Solo community, contributing to a more environmentally sustainable fashion industry. Moreover, women's empowerment through ecoprint highlights their potential to contribute to the overall well-being of the Solo community.
