Event: INDONESIA FASHION WEEK 2012, Day Two

Reviewed by: Sheila Alissja (Cashion Contributor)

I hurry myself, I’m gonna be late! 2.30 PM and I’m still in the cab dealing with Jakarta bad traffic. I’m begging to God, hope they’re late too.

But God is great, the show are pretty late until 30 minutes more. Sit down in a row gracefully between a British reporter and his African women. The advertisements way too possy, Dulux and also another companies has been played like 6 or 7 ads with long duration.

A bored opening, yes. But the wait is over when the master of ceremony take over the show. Pretty excited to see those young and talented designers with their dazzling collection.

Prepare my best and comfy sitting pose, exciting smiles, Twitter and camera; ON!

I’m so ready to explode.

YOSAFAT

Yosafat opening the show. The first look is a silk sheer shirt with a textured peplum grey skirt. I knew Yosafat, he always put grey, silver and earth-tones in his collection. And glad to see him put some leather this time.

ALBERT YANUAR

The second show is Albert Yanuar. Everybody’s knew that he’s the master of cocktail gowns, playful mixture mini-dress with strong lines. He bring them back now. He open the show with orange dress with cute tutu and very bold make-up.

I think the make-up were inspired by Betsey Johnson’s runway, might be. What I call dazzling is when the quirky bride came up, with long-tailed detailed white gown and rainbow bouquet. The show end when the Albert showed up with two kids channeling as a bridesmaids.

             

JEFFRY TAN

I admit myself. This third show was exciting. Hot male models came-up with colorful summer ready-to-wear clothes. Jeffry Tan braces yourself with those shocking colors. Paired with high-cut glowing sneakers and some tattoos. In the end, the promising androgynous model known Darell Ferhosten with his long black hair came up with red hood. He’s so gorgeous!

IMELDA KARTINI

Unlike her past collection, which more to haute couture with touch of her quirkiness, this young and pretty designer, Imelda Kartini traveled us to her other bold version. Ropes, textured sweater, strong shawls. Her new wearable line, Bretzel inspires us. She never leaves her identity by bring those ready-to-wear pieces with her trademark, extreme quirkiness.

NINA NIKICIO

Honestly, this is the most awaited performance so far for me. Nina Nikicio, we always know her effortless cutting, bold pants, textured shirts. But, I never think that fall in love would be this beautiful when I saw her FEMME: Summer 2012 ad campaign, oh-so-sweet. And this IFW moment, no she doesn’t bring those romantic scene. But she absolutely makes us in love to her line even twice. Who the hell ain’t happy if saw that boyish attire paired with shocking Doc Martens? Oh please… we’re in love.
