Indonesia Fashion Week 2013

As an accessories enthusiast, I was so interested in deatil of accessories (necklace) displays in the fashion competition, where there were other fashion stuffs, such as dress, bags and shoes. I love all the necklace designs, they are all unique and represent Indonesia. There were a great event, though I have free entrance to watch all the shows but I could not attend them all. I was working for other busy stuffs on those days. However, I hunted some unique stuffs and captured some favorite displays there. I hope I can join all the days, watch all the shows and buy more favorite stuffs next year.

This is my photo next to a 23 million wedding dress by Nevi Kusuma. She was 24 year old designer from South Sumatra. She is one of the youngest designers who shows their artwork in Indonesia Fashion Week 2013 runaway. Her designs are gorgeous! She is nice girl and pretty, too. I would like to have some review about her soon.

Nikicio Mixté Autumn / Winter 2012 - WAR

Nikicio proudly introduced their latest collection in a private fashion show; Nikicio Mixté Autumn / Winter 2012 - WAR in W Space, Graha Toorak, Jl. Kemang Timur Raya No. 998, on Friday 13 July 2012.  

The collection is inspired by the series of photography by Evelyn Pritt entitled "Ocean Waves". By showing colors of blue, black, and white for the print, it  reminds us how raw and pure ocean is. The word "war" refers to a darker feeling, something that Nina Nikicio, the creative director, always wanted for.

Nikicio always try to bring something new for every collection. They have done digital prints since their spring collection last year and this time, they took it a notch by doing it on leather. Nikicio also chose finer fabrics, such as cashmere for jackets, and cotton silk for dresses, as Mixte, their premium line.

#Tokyo Flash Launching Party

The following day, Friday 12th May 2011, after I came to Nikicio official launch, I came to The GOODS Dept. to join Tokyo Flash launching party. The watches had officially launched at The GOODS Dept. and at Urban Icon Store. The launching party got everything from the crowd, the drinks, video-mapping to good music. Looove it...

Here the crowd is. Daniel Mananta (wearing white shirt) showed his Tokyo Flash watch to the audience... I think it is Tokyo Flash Rogue... next to him is Anton Wirjono (wearing blue shirt) , the co-founder of The GOODS Dept. and BrightSpot Market. He was using Tokyo Flash, too.

I fell in love with a watch inside the love.. It is the Kisai Transit White. It is little bit difficult to read but that is the uniqueness of Tokyo Flash! Or.. Is the Kisai Satellite White Blue much better?

It was already 10 P.M . and I was enough with the drinks :)). After giving a testimony, I went back home... Thanks to Urban Icon Store for the goodie bag. I like what they are inside. I enjoyed the event. Thanks for giving me an experience to know more about the new Tokyo Flash. This watch is really COOL. You must have it to be a fashion forward.

It's been 4 days I haven't drunk my tea. It's not hot anymore. I'm thirsty now. I'm going to make you a cup of tea now. This is one most favorite stories in my fashion tales, the new collection of Indonesian designers. This is a story about NIKICIO MIXTÉ VOL.06 Official Launch at THE GOODS Department, Plaza Indonesia. I went there last Wednesday, 11th May 2011, with my sister. I met some friends there, too. Thanks her for the RSVP for my friends:)). I was excited to see her fashion presentation of her last collection. I like this collection because all is about black. Black is one of my favorite colors which is wearable to be matched with any kind of colors and last forever. 

In her presentation, every models came up to the stage and she, the designer, gave explanation about the clothes of the models wore.  It was about the story behind the clothes, the purpose of making it, the process and the materials used to make every single piece of them. This how Nina Nikicio explained to the audience.

Me and NIKICIO

Those are the pictures I had taken from the back seat. I think I fell in love with the Unisex Organza Blazer, but I have to wait until the pay day comes, so I can buy it. You can not spend all of my money right away if you wanna buy something. You have to wait and save much until you are sure that is worthed item to have. It is just about smart shopping :)) and sure this collection is worthed for me. Anyway, watching a fashion presentation like this giving me an insight. Many ideas come up every time I see a great creation from any Indonesian designers. Thanks everyone. Hope this is insightful for you too.
