LAPORAN TUGAS AKHIR PERANCANGAN BUSANA PANGGUNG BAND DAKARA DENGAN TEKNIK TIE-DYE DIAGONAL PLEATS

The development of the music industry requires musicians to have a strong visual identity through stage wear. Band Dakara, a progressive rock group with a 1970s aesthetic, does not yet have collective stage wear that represents the complexity of their work, resulting in suboptimal stage presence and visual unity among the personnel. The objective of this design is to create an exclusive stage wear collection by adapting the 1970s Bohemian Hippie concept, which reflects the freedom of expression characteristic of progressive rock. The design method utilizes Hasso Plattner's Design Thinking approach (Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test). Natural fiber materials, namely bamboo linen and rayon twill, were selected to support the musicians' comfort and mobility. Visual aesthetics were achieved through textile manipulation exploration methods using diagonal pleated tie-dye and burning techniques. The design results were realized into five stage wear looks with fluid silhouettes and a warm color palette (orange and brown) that create a raw and organic visual texture. In conclusion, this stage wear collection has proven successful as a functional and effective visual communication medium to harmonize the personnel's appearance, strengthen branding, and fully express the artistic character of Band Dakara's music.

Perkembangan industri musik menuntut musisi memiliki identitas visual yang kuat melalui busana panggung (stage wear). Band Dakara, grup progressive rock berestetika era 1970-an, belum memiliki busana panggung kolektif yang merepresentasikan kerumitan karya mereka, sehingga stage presence dan visual unity antarpersonel belum optimal. Tujuan perancangan ini adalah menciptakan koleksi busana panggung eksklusif dengan mengadaptasi konsep Bohemian Hippie 1970-an yang mencerminkan kebebasan berekspresi khas progressive rock. Metode perancangan menggunakan pendekatan Design Thinking Hasso Plattner (Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test). Material berserat alami yakni linen bamboo dan rayon twill dipilih untuk mendukung kenyamanan gerak musisi. Estetika visual dicapai melalui metode eksplorasi manipulasi tekstil dengan teknik ikat celup (tie-dye) lipit diagonal dan pembakaran (burning). Hasil perancangan direalisasikan ke dalam lima look busana panggung bersiluet luwes dengan palet warna hangat (oranye dan cokelat) yang memunculkan tekstur visual raw dan organik. Sebagai kesimpulan, koleksi busana panggung ini terbukti berhasil menjadi media komunikasi visual yang fungsional dan efektif untuk menyelaraskan penampilan antarpersonel, memperkuat branding, serta mengekspresikan karakter artistik musik Band Dakara secara utuh.
