Past Lessons | Future Protection - Jakarta Fashion Week 2014

Finally, I made it into JFW under my school, Raffles Institute of Higher Education Jakarta! After 2 years of dreaming and working hard, I made it!

PAST LESSONS | FUTURE PROTECTION

Past Lessons…
People make mistakes during the past and say that mistakes are lessons to make us more cautious of our actions in the future. 

The happenings on the future happen due to the past events.

Future Protection...
I wonder, what is the future looks like? Where there are rumors about moving to the outer space are still flying around, protection of human kind, and even self protection. People are preparing to protect themselves, even though all of them are still unpredictable and pixelated. 

I portray my concept by using unique silhouettes with futuristic cosmonauts feel. I also using printed fabric that I design, which is pixalated tenun ikat’s motif with futuristic background.

This collection made it into some online global publications and one printed publication

Metropole's Heritage

Hi there! I'm so sorry that I haven't posted anything since one or two months ago. Here we go!

This is actually my graduation collection, which I called "Metropole's Heritage"

Inspired by the metropolitan lifestyle of Majapahit Kingdom and their cultural mix with Chinese culture in Tang Dynasty, this collection comes with multifunctional purposes, for casual and semi fromal occasions. This collection is suitable for women with a busy lifestyle of the executives living in a metropolitan city like Jakarta.

Maybe some of you see this as only a graduation collection, but it was more.

This collection has been showcased in several fashion shows, such as:

- AMICA Fashion Designer Competition 2013 (May 2013)
- Raffles Institute of Higher Education Jakarta's fashion show: Dynamic Fusion (to celebrate Central Park Mall Jakarta's 4th anniversary) (September 2013)
- Last but not least, my own graduation :) (October 2013)

Reversible Jacket, Sleeveless Batik (middle detail) Blouse, Draped Skirt 

Tailed Dress

The Emperor's Cape, Jumpsuit (along with batik tanktop)

All Squared Batik Mini Dress, Sleeveless Bolero with Cowls

Cowled Bias Cut Dress, Midi Cape

ps: the look book will be posted soon. :)

La - De - Dah Lady

"Really? Do you think so? Really? Well la - de - dah?"                                                                                                  -Diane Keaton in Annie Hall-

Not so long ago, I watched a vintage movie titled 'Annie Hall', which was a late 70s movie, where Diane Keaton and Woody Allen took the leading role of this movie. It was good, and I really love how this movie, especially Diane Keaton's roles in this movie and her outfits were pioneers of androgynous style in fashion history. 

In this collection, I am aiming for 23-27 years old women. I also create androgynous look for women's today's living that are suitable for casual and office wear.

Hopefully, you guys will like this.

PS: I've shown this to my lecturer and I already got the final result for each and everything that I post (especially for Portfolio class). So, NO COPYING! ;*

ps: I am so sorry, I don't know why some images turned to brown in this blog (even though the printed version is similar with the normal ones -__- ) 

V1nTaG3 CYb0R6

Since long time ago, I have been crazy about Steampunk due to my sister's influence.

So this was my first assignment in Portfolio class. Probably you see my illustration style in this collection is different from the others. Well, in this course, I'd like to challenge myself to create different styles of illustration in each collection. ;)

Hopefully, you guys will like this.

Hi there!

Hi people, long time no see. Well, currently I am in my 7th semester of my school and I am almost tini tiny there to graduation! *YEAYY. So thankyou very much for viewing and commenting my posts and also for your support, love, and prayer.

Now on to the point, as you can see, this is my newest post *duhhh...
I have been very busy these lately,
So here is what I have been up to these lately:

• September last year, I enrolled another competition, which was AMICA FASHION DESIGNER COMPETITION 2013 and I MADE it to the grand final and showcased my design, which was 'Metropole's Heritage', in Kota Kasablanka Mall, Jakarta, in 30 May 2013. Even though I didn't win it, getting to the TOP 10 was already such a miracle to me XDD
• Well, since last term was my final project in my school (yes, my school made me to join mini collection and portfolio course (major final project) due to the lack of student on my batch), I was busy as hell. Luckily my lecturers were very generous that my AMICA Fashion Designer Competition would be taken score in my mini collection (get it? AMICA Fashion Designer Competition = my Mini Collection). Portfolio class is basically almost the same as my Design Research course but they have more quantity and quality. 
• And finally... I participated in DAMN! I Love Indonesia by Daniel Mananta (local brand) Fashion Show: Satu Hati untuk Merdeka (One Heart for Independence), which took place in Central Park Mall Jakarta, 24 August 2013 to celebrate Indonesia's Independence day and grand opening of their newest store in CP Mall. ;)
• LAST BUT NOT LEAST!! I WILL JOIN JAKARTA FASHION WEEK 2014, which is held this year. YEAYYY *and my garments aren't finish yet........ iDie. So, stay tuned! ;)

I will stop right here and update my posts, stay tuned!! ;)

Once again thankyou so much for your support. Wish us luck world!
