My Idol

First time I saw her is on tiktok. In the video, she tells that at first she didn’t know that she is a princess in Solo and grand-grandchild of National Heroine, because her parents wanted her to find out by herself. Her family always tells her stories, whether it’s fiction or world history, until she became interested and started reading books at the age of 5. When she was 6 years old, she’s already read the book Tetralogi by Pramoedya Ananta Toer. When she was in grade 3 of elementary school, she started studying PKN and that's where she got to know about Muhammad Yamin. From there, she’s started to study about wawasan nusantara, sumpah pemuda. When she was in grade 4 of elementary school, she already know that she is grand-grandchild of Muhammad Yamin. So yes, she know all of that from the books she read. 

She is Rania Maheswari Yasmin or known as Rania Yasmin, she is Mangkunegaran descendants and grand-grandchild of National Heroine Muhammad Yamin. She was born on July 5th 2002. She’s a Sastra Indonesia student in Universitas Indonesia and now she’s on her 7 semester. 

She has 2 businesses in the fashion sector. The businesses she runs with her mother named Bergaya Ceria dan Kain Gembira. It sells traditional clothes such as Kebaya and Batik. In her cloth business, she has also collaborated several times, such as with famous Indonesian actresses like Tara Basro and Eva Celia. 

And what I like about her is that she often uses outfits by combining kebaya and batik for everyday life that always look fashionable. It makes people around her including me, become more loves with traditional clothing and wants to uses outfits by combining our casual outfits with kebaya and batik. 

She really shows that in this modern era, traditional clothes still suitable for daily wear and not give the impression of being out of date. 

She is also wants to prove that she’s not just a “ Rania Yasmin “. She wants to be known as one of the pioneers of the Indonesian fashion world who has creative ideas and preserves culture to Indonesian women.
