Androgynous Revenge - Inspired by Sweeney Todd

"Never Forget, Never Forgive"

                                                           Sweeney Todd

My very first Design Research project was to design casual wear 10 looks for 2 problems. One is short, wide hips and narrow shoulder; the other is the contrary. The theme selection came from my mind of my most favorite artist, Tim Burton, after searching about him deeper, I found one of his creation (he was also inspired by a musical) Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber. Luckily, I've watched this movie once with my sister, and I fell in love with this movie directly.

So the essence is androgynous, since the leading role in the movie itself was a man (Sweeney Todd) and the hardest part of this project was the thinking development. Sweeney was a very nice man on the outside, but not the same as what it is on the inside. So my plan was hidden pockets and buttons everywhere.

Hahahahahahah.. I finished this at 5.30 AM (no sleep) and submitted this at 9 AM = my new record!! :D

Hopefully you will like this collection

Street Warrior (A Collection Inspired by Minamoto no Yoshitsune)

This was my first project workshop project for casual wear. It wasn't easy because I have to make a portfolio consist of 5 looks with workshop drawing for each look and 3 garments (vest, blouse, and pants) within a week!!

sooo, here you go!!

Inspiration: Minamoto no Yoshitsune

Main fabric: DENIM!!

Client: 17-22 years old women, boyish ones (especially b-girl or street style performer)

Look: Boyish

So..... since this is my first project on Project workshop, everything wasn't neat, in terms of portfolio and garments, but I manage to pass though. :P

My lecturer told me to make the 2nd look, which was quite deadly, especially the red parts at the pants (I had to attach the leather one by one) =.=a

Hope you guys like it. :D

DON'T MISS IT GUYS! :)

weeeelllllllllllllll.. not only that, but I also help them to design and sew 2 red vintage casual dresses for the main female character :D 

I have to admit, designing for a musical drama is not easy because you need to see the script, what the dress is suitable with, how about the other casts, etc etc, but also behind all of the story (in this situation, yes it has :D )

What they require were red and modern-vintage!! After designing, redesign, sewing, and stuffs.. it all came down into.. :D

see it live on the "show day" :D

"DON'T MISS IT GUYS! :)"

Yes people, DON'T MISS IT!! :D

MINI COLLECTION: "Dalam Satu Kaki Kubik" (In One Feet Cubic)

After going back from Shanghai, one of my lecturers offered me to join the mini collection class (final semester class) unofficially to prepare Jakarta Fashion Week. But, I didn't make it to the top 4 for JFW class. But I still continued until I finished the design process, tiring but fun! *and I gained so many knowledge. :D

Basically, my theme was "Dalam Satu Kaki Kubik", which was an experiment done by David S. with other nature biologists and National Geographic (refer to Nat Geo Indonesia Magazine February 2010 issue). So David put one feet cubic cube in some random place (my interest was his research in the sea in Moorea, France). Uniquely, there were 6 million+ species (excluded planktons) in that cube. 1 cm diameter Octopus larva was one example. 

So, I did little bit research, some developments, and did some designing (even though not as much as thousands due to shu-uemura deadline). From all of the process, I made my final collection. ENJOY!! :D

ps: I also did some presentations, so COPY RIGHTED!! :D *not automatically though.

I have to admit that I'm still amateur in this kind of stuffs, I'm still studying.. hha..
I will also reveal "the mind"

Thanks to: Miss Tanya :DD for teaching me lots of things. Even though I'm not graded or even made it into JFW, I learned tons from you :***

Fashion Pro Magazine Fashion Illustration Competition 2012: EAGERLY FOR PEACEFULNESS IN SAMURAI SOCIETY

This is my forth competition (after Miami Fashion Week, Mazda Sketch Contest, and Indomaret). I spotted this competition around mid March 2012 (during mid first semester in RDI) from Phalie Studio's facebook (my first fashion design course). This competition was held Fashion Pro Magazine Indonesia. Basically, we just need to give them fashion illustration (just sketching and no need to think about openings and stuffs.. hha.. XDD)


During preparation, I was crazy with the book of ""SAMURAI: an illustrated history" by Mitsuo Kure". I saw women in samurai society and samurais' ranks and positions such as Samurai commander and his Shucho (in Nanbokucho Period). 


I also watched animes (Japanese cartoon) during that time. I saw Nurarihyon no Mago, which the "good demons" had Japanese traditional cultures and wars. They also wanted peacefulness in their society.


From both things, I decided to create the concept of "Peacefulness in Samurai Society". Of course samurais had their own families. They also wanted peacefulness with their beloved. I created an illustration influenced by Samurai costume and kimono. On the right, you can see a women (inspired by women in Samurai Society) spread Sakura ;that symbolized peacefulness and spring; to the other 2 samurais on the left as the symbol of happiness (Samurai commander and his Shucho in Nanbokucho Period). 

from hundreds submissions and judged by Yoyok Budiman, fashion styling lecturer, illustrator, Indah Wibowo, Business Director fashionPro dan MN Retno Murti, Editorial Director fashionPro, I made it into TOP 10!! Thank you all!! even though I didn't make it to the top 3, it was worth to try. Fashion Pro Mag also gave me a reference letter that I made it into top 10!!
