LOVE STORY OF THE ROMAN GODDESS

From Semarang to the world. I wish more fashion designer are as humble and down to earth as Yosep Sinudarsono. 

His name made famous in the fashion industry, thanks to Malin Akerman who wore one of his design on Golden Globe Awards 2015. This week, he took center stage again on Plaza Indonesia Fashion Week, where he showcased 40 designs from LOTUZ (that’s his ready to wear line).

Inspired by the Roman Goddess named Pomona, the show started with ballerinas gracing the runway with his collection. Romantic mood kept on flowing, lots of details like handmade floral embroideries on his ultra feminine dresses. I saw lots of peplum, body-fitting dresses with plunge neckline and fierce jumpsuits. My favorite: the all-black collection for his closing sequence.

DANCING IN THE MOONLIGHT

Stunned by Sebastian Gunawan’s latest collection for the upcoming Chinese New Year 2015, “MOON DANCE”.

Gone are the days when cheongsam were interpreted as a body hugging one-piece dress. Sebastian’s collection was “dancing” with colors (lots of them), choices of thicker materials and perfect details (as always). 

Love the stepped-hem dress, they did slide elegantly on the runway. And those wedding dresses from his line, Sposa, blown me away with a touch of oriental. The mix between European look with Chinese touch…hmmmm I’m so gonna wear my cheong sam with cape later.

BEAUTY ON THE RUNWAY

The Body Shop Indonesia has been the official makeup sponsor of Jakarta Fashion Week since 2011. And this year, they collaborated with three local fashion brands, KLE, CottonInk Studio and Ardistia New York. 

With a theme “Runway to Your Way”, I found this particular show as a very conceptual runway. Sitting there on the front row with The Body Shop Indonesia’s team, I can see why they chose the three local fashion brands mentioned above. Super wearable yet fashionable, not to mention…effortless. Just like the makeup from The Body Shop. 

I love how the multimedia screen projected a very modern clip about the key products from The Body Shop which were used for each brand. For KLE who expressed her Spring Summer 2015 Collection in all white, their key products are InstaBlur and All In One Face Base. To support the CottonInk Studio collection who embraced the essence of confidence with effortlessness, they accentuated with strong eyeliner made possible by The Body Shop latest Smoky 2 in 1 Gel Liner. Last but not least, for Ardistia New York who played with strong lines and bold colors, Colour Crush Lipstick was the main focus of the whole makeup (especially with that wig who covered models eyes). 

Congratulations for The Body Shop Indonesia’s team and their makeup artists who I believed work their hearts off backstage to support this year’s Jakarta Fashion Week. See you guys next year!
