At last, your male partner who envy you for carrying The Cambridge Satchel Bag, can have their own next year.
A new range of styles and sizes including Classic, Batchel and Backpack will be launch in Autumn 2013. Apparently, demand from retailers were so strong, there’ll be 75 piece collection ranging from materials like embossed croc to tartan. We can expect new colors too, like pale grey, Monaco blue, cobalt and dark bottle green.
It’s time for another bag from Hermès to shine.
I believe no one is safe from the temptation of having a Birkin or a Kelly, or both. But for me, this Berline Bag is it!
It’s not a new type of bag from Hermès, actually it first appeared back in Fall 2011. But, the buzz is, this mini version of Berline has been earmarked to be the star of Hermès bag in 2013. For those who opt for more casual and sporty version of Hermès bag, you’re looking at it. It must be the sporty quilted leather pattern on the front and the Swift leather used for its smoothness and durable function.
Other familiar details like palladium clasp closure and the leather tabbed canvas Amazone strap (which can be find on Kelly bag) just made this Berline bag more (expensively) perfect as a city shoulder bag. it can also be used as a clutch, because you could remove the strap. Comes in six interesting colors, it’ll be available in stores next year. So hold your horses.

A GLIMPSE FROM JAKARTA FASHION WEEK 2013: CLOSING SHOW AT IKAT INDONESIA BY DIDIET MAULANA
A GLIMPSE FROM JAKARTA FASHION WEEK 2013: LAST DAY AT SEBASTIAN’S FOR INDONESIA HEART FOUNDATION
Sebastian Gunawan’s show opened Jakarta Fashion Week 2013 previously and his show on the very last day were different.
This time, his ready to wear collection named Sebastian’s (mainly known as Red Label for us) were presented by Indonesia Heart Foundation as a part of their charity campaign “Go Red For Women”. With a theme “Portrait of a muse”, he and Christina Panarese created beautiful detailed cocktail dresses and long gowns which were inspired by Greek’s Goddesses, that we can tell by the gorgeous draping style.
Empire waist dress, mini peplum dress, bolero with colors such as pastel, gold, blue and black created a pretty palette for the whole collection. Very Sebastian which looks are known to be so elegant, chic and classic.
A VIEW FROM JAKARTA FASHION WEEK 2013 FRONT ROW: DAY 8 AT ANNE AVANTIE
Another one of my highlights from the whole Jakarta Fashion Week 2013. Indonesian famous actresses and couples, senior supermodels were joining the models to present Anne’s collection. Adding 3 famous Indonesian singers to sing in the show and traditional dances didn’t hurt either. I felt really entertained, in a fashionable blast from the past kind of way.
Themed “Puspawarni”, the whole show was presented by Molto, the famous fabric softener brand. Imagine, Anne’s fabrics were flying around the catwalk and the audiences felt the breeze of scents from different flowers. Anne was inspired by different roles of Indonesian women and decided to have 7 sequences in her show.
Her signature kebaya and batik fabrics (most of them adorned by crystals), mixed with different fabrics like tulle and velvet. She also injected a touch of modernity to her fabrics through digital print fabrics with traditional motifs to add to her total 50 collection last night.
A VIEW FROM JAKARTA FASHION WEEK 2013 FRONT ROW: DAY 7 AT DEWI FASHION KNIGHTS
It should’ve been the closing show for the whole fashion week, but due through unfriendly weather in Jakarta, there’ll be more shows until next Monday, November 12, 2012.
I can say Dewi Fashion Knights is the most anticipated show at Jakarta Fashion Week every year, when local socialites, fashion people and celebrities flocked together in one tent. Themed “The Next Chapter” there were 5 designers chosen by Dewi Magazine: Oscar Lawalata, Deden Siswanto, Ghea Panggabean, Sapto Djojokartiko and Priyo Octaviano.
Deden came up with his own perception of Javanese culture, wayang kulit for his men and women collection. Priyo was in “Ultra Mod” mode with the deconstructive, edgy and modern design, also for men. Digital Print technology was used at Ghea’s collection. Oscar “My name is 20’s” theme did what it said, the 20’s style with flapper dresses in bright colors and silent movies for the backdrop. And Sapto, thank God he came up with more wearable collection (including the shoes) this year. Somehow Sapto’s headpieces worn by models, reminds me of Carrie Bradshaw’s lace headpiece from Trivial that she wore at Stanford’s (his gay best friend) wedding (remember?).
Personally, I’m surprised to see quite a lot of men’s collection this year, but well, men has to be fashionable too, correct?
A VIEW FROM JAKARTA FASHION WEEK 2013 FRONT ROW: DAY 6 AT LENNY AGUSTIN
As expressive and youthful as the designer herself.
Presented by The Body Shop, Lenny Agustin chose the theme “Paper Garden” for her ever colorful collection. She was inspired by the delicacy and complexity of origami from Japan, which she admitted was a challenge for her because of the reduction of patterns and motifs. Using materials like Batik from Pekalongan and Tenun from Makassar, her creations are unique and out of the box.
And as color striking as her 37 collections, so did the makeup and hairdos. The Body Shop Indonesia’s team of makeup artists created double winged eyeliner, with fun and bold intense colors for all models’ eyelids to complement Lenny’s collection.
A VIEW FROM JAKARTA FASHION WEEK 2013 FRONT ROW: DAY 6 AT BIN HOUSE
Witty details, fabrics flown around, this show was one of my highlights from my fashionable journey at Jakarta Fashion Week 2013.
Josephine Komara or we all know her as only Obin, a legendary designer of Indonesian traditional textile collaborated with Pesona Magazine Indonesia to present her “Time Traveler” collection through her house brand “Bin House”. Traveling around the business for 40 years this year, she needed one year to complete her 48 looks for the show. Described herself as “fabric artisan”, she told the medias that she was inspired by fabrics and women.
