Indonesia, 03 Mar 2026 - Entering the Year of the Fire Horse 2026, Bank DBS Indonesia through DBS Treasures and DBS Treasures Private Client held Spring Festival 2026. Embracing the spirit of Chinese New Year celebrations, which are full of enthusiasm and courage, the event presented a wide variety of exclusive experiences for customers, ranging from fashion shows that combined traditional and modern touches to the Yee Sang Tossing tradition that is loaded with meaning, a prayer for good luck, health, and success in the new year.
The fashion show featured the latest collection from renowned designer
Sebastian Gunawan. Inspired by the character of the Year of the Fire Horse, which is synonymous with energy and rapid change, each design explores the interplay of materials, details, and motifs that reflect this dynamic. To create an even more immersive experience, the show was accompanied by the melody of the Guzheng, a traditional Chinese stringed instrument, bringing harmony between fashion, culture, and a warm festive atmosphere for the guests in attendance.
On the occasion,
Sebastian Gunawan presented the ‘Jie’ collection, cheongsams with a new touch, to celebrate the arrival of the Year of the Fire Horse. In Mandarin, ‘Jie’ means ‘bond’, which can be interpreted as a symbol of the continuity of tradition, heritage, and modernity. Through this collection, Sebastian presented decorative details that emphasise the philosophy that the future is built on a strong foundation of the past. Strong structural elements are combined with elegant silhouettes, reflecting a balance between heritage values and modern perspectives.
To enliven the event, the management of Bank DBS Indonesia also participated in the
Yee Sang Tossing
tradition, a procession that symbolises togetherness and good wishes at the beginning of the year. This activity symbolises a collective prayer for good fortune, health, and success in the new year while also reflecting a spirit of optimism in welcoming new opportunities ahead.
