JFW: Mazda Presents Young Vibrant Designers

After longing the chance to watch this year Jakarta Fashion Week, I've finally got two free invitations from FashioneseDaily, yeay!!
Later I found out that one of the designer participated in the show is my old school friend, Anastasia Heong. She offered me another three invitations so I could bring Jess, Ni, our mom and a friend to come along. Double yeay!!
Since this is our first time watching live fashion show, we were super excited, we even follow the dresscode, Stylishly Green :-D
Posing before the show, in green dresscode in front of Mazda Stylish Corner :)

So here's the review of the fashion show:
1. Anastasia Heong's collection
Her designs are the most wearable items during the fashion show, combining cream and red with unusual details. The clothes presented are mostly cocktail dress and have feminine and oriental touch.
Anastasia's collection and the designer herself (second photo, on the left)

2. Zacky's collection
His design are mostly black and white with lots of drappery. The models even wore black or white veil! I've found the idea was very out of the box, because it surprised the audience.
Zacky's collection, the designer is the man in the second photo

3. Stephen's collection
I've just found out that he never studied fashion in formal education, but his design is fabulous. More variety, from short dresses to couture dresses. He got the most feedback from the audience during the show.
Stephen Huang's and his collection

Well, hope that these guys can be the next famous Indonesian designer through the years, thanks to Mazda :-D See you in the next Jakarta Fashion Week, then :)

me do sketching

I have a good time when I scroll over my mouse over the fashion bloggers these couple year, and through my wooden pencil and white paper and some knowledge from the fashion illustration course that i did last year.I have sketched some of fashion icon and influence. and not forget fashion bloggers. Who have been so stylist and dedicated themselves to encourage others to get more and more information about fashion, mode, style. Now i have a few of the sketches.
I know some others bloggers may have doing the same as i do but I'm not trying to copying them. I just do it for my sketch practice.
Okay enough for the explanation so here it is the first sketch that I'm going to share...

#Michelle Koesnadi from glistersandblisters.com

She has her own style on building up her own blog among so many fashion bloggers arround the world.. I like how she mix up her clothes, simple and no pressure.
For more about her you can visit her blog .

ps: me an amateur sketcher :p please mind the unperfect. and i wanna hear some advice from you guys:)

save the best for the last


My lips look red although I didn't use any lipstick. I guess it because of the photoshop effect, hmm...

Polka-dots dress tutu on bottom-unbranded, brown soft Outware-unbranded, black satin blazer-temt, handmade pearl necklace.

Got a busy weekend, but at the end of the day, finally something made my day. We have finished two of our own designed cloth for our clothing line! Will discuss it later on the next post, for sure.

Balagan - Cirque of the World

Last night, we watched the Balagan, performed by Cirque of the World.
What I love about the circus is they combined acrobatic performance with theatrical concept.
Here is the pictures (I only took few pictures, since bringing professional camera is actually forbidden, but I managed to pass the security, though, yippie!)





*Sorry for the blurry photos in two latest pics*
The performances are quite funny, exciting and some even are breathtaking. Too bad it is too pricey. We took photos afterward.

Ni: Black and white lace shirt-suzuya, cream bag-RAOL,office pants-unbranded.
Jess: brown soft Outware-unbranded, black military-bought somewhere in bandung, small bag-Guess.

Na: white knit shirt-solution, black blazer-GAP, scarf-borrowed from mom, black jeans-colorbox.

ps:Anybody watched it too?lets share picture:)

Classy-Futuristic

There is nothing old for fashion, as we know the older the better because those years effect our present so widely, from jumpsuits, oversized shirt, acidwashed, collar shirts, gladiator shoes.
Apart from the circulating trend of fashion, how about trying to invent some "Avant Garde" fashion trend rather than returning to the oldies' looks?
loosebodycon dress-pinklabel, Handmade pearl necklace
black peeptoe heels-charles and keith

Well, can I call it "Classy-Futuristic"?
So, let's share your thoughts about my looks and I'd be excited if you could show me your "Avant Garde" looks :)


Ni


ps: (quoting from wikipedia)
Avant-garde (French pronunciation: [avɑ̃ɡaʁd]) means "advance guard" or "vanguard".[1] The adjective form is used in English, to refer to people or works that are experimental or innovative, particularly with respect to art, culture, and politics.

couture

Last saturday i went to Harry Darsono couture museum, and being guided by the man himself. It is an honor to meet him. He has a story behind his success that i couldn't even imagine how. When he was a child he was d
iagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). To control his sickness he used to sketch and weave for hours. It made him settle down. So when he was older he has so many sketches. He made dresses for opera, for Princesses, for queens and other important person. For more stories about him click
enjoy my snaps

and The Holiday begin (part 1)

As proud as we are to Indonesia we deliver you a review of Sikuai Island,
one of the private islands in Indonesia
Located in west Sumatra. not more than 2 hours to reach the Island from Minangkabau airport
here are some photos which Yana with her beloved camera, captured during our vacation in Sikuai Island
please enjoy♥

mom's batik sarong
i tried to wear it as a dress
minidress-Gaudi
view from the front office
how peaceful is this for you?

the island only has 25 cottages so it's really nice enjoying the beach
and the water is so clean you can barely look at the fish without diving glass
.the sand is beautifully white.
what we really like there is that the wave is not so big because the island is surrounded by some small islands so the wave doesn't come so big (so no worries for tsunami).
When we were there we rent a canoe. They also rented banana boat and diving equipment, etc.

part 2 will be posted soon
oh i just love holiday
Do you?

xoxo
