JFW 2017 and Another Shit Happened To My life

Okay folks, let’s talk about JFW 2016 (OMG, I’m freaking love it). So this year, I actually got invitation JFW from my friend.  He unfortunately couldn’t attend to some shows, and offered me his tickets, and I couldn’t get more excited. I was like a toddler that just got his first Christmas present. After all this time, I finally got a chance to see JFW in real life. I don’t give a damn whether it is VIP or RVSP  ticket, it’s still a shining golden ticket for me. I don’t mind at all even if I’m just gonna stand in the corner, I still attending JFW 2016, btw.
So I met him at the coffee shop around Gandaria, his name is Edwin (Go check his blog here). We talked about fashion, lifestyle and everything. He opened up my eyes and explained to me as a writer I should be more neutral. You know that I’m always being judgmental bitch in reviewing JFW. He said that I can’t say ugly or that designer has a terrible design and taste just because I don’t like their collection. Every designer has their own market and specific taste on their collection to show their technique and identity. I’m as a writer and fashion enthusiast, should be more open minded about it. So when designer designing their collection, they make it based on their own market (and also seasonal trend to keep up to date). He explained to me that I can’t force my (good) taste to everyone, it’s like not everyone can pulled off Chanel couture dress (although it is so pretty and fairy). So in this year I will be nice and (put aside my stupid thought) be more neutral
But turned out that week, I had load of works. An event I needed to prepare and cover in the weekend. WHY ME LORD?!! I cried like a little bitch, sobbing and punching the wall. My golden ticket has burnt into ashes. There was nothing I can do about it, so I just went back to be in my room, watching update and JFW news in Youtube and DEWI magazine Instagram. So tonight, I will put aside my emotions and be nice. I will review 2 designers, TOTON and Patrick Owen. Although there were a lot of my favorites and good collections that I need to write about.
Okay first, TOTON. He is my favorite designer, and I don’t know where to start. His collections are amazing. TOTON shows a simple urban chic look, with the laser cutting technique he makes a simple and traditional pattern and elevate it to a new level. Only using a monochrome color, subtle flower embroidery to soften the look, and modern cutting, he makes a romantic collection this year. Job well done Mr. Toton (Go check his instagram here).

 Okay move to Patrick Owen. So Patrick Owen’s collection are dominating with monochrome colors. I am really impressed with him, only using basic colors he can make a modern and strong look for a modern women. And also he got inspired from another Indonesian artist, a famous graphic designer/digital collagist Fajar P Domingo (go check his awesome artwork on his instagram here). Patrick applies his artwork through a beautiful embroidery on suit, a black sheer dress, and a black stocking. It totally makes a little ‘romantic splash’ on his collection. Really amazing and job well done (too) Mr. Patrick.

I’m sorry, I’m only reviewing them. There’re a lot of designers I need to write, like Major Minor Maha, SeanandSheila, the couturish glamour Sapto Djojokartiko and of course Tex Saverio. I hope my review this year is more improving than last year, more mature, and professional (neutral thought and put aside my stupid thought). And also I got a real works that need to be done in real life. Yup.

Transgender VS Androgyny

                 Everybody has their sex appealed, it show their sexuality to everyone even the ugly one has it (jk). But some people didn’t have it because they feel not fit with their sexuality and bodies, but some of them didn’t match their sexuality with their bodies. They are transgender and androgyny.                 Definition of transgender, is the state of one’s gender identity (self-identification as women, man, neither or both) not matching one’s assigned sex (identification by others as male, female or intersex based on physical/genetic sex)                 Definition of androgyny, is term derived from the Greek referring to the combination of masculine and feminine characteristic. Sexual ambiguity may be found in fashion, gender identi...

"Brace yourself, winter is coming"

           Sorry, it's been a while I haven't posting in my blog. I'm pretty swamped with my task a senior college student lately. There's a lot of task I have to finished. Okay, enough chit chat my college life, it's kind of routine actually. Let's talk about fall or winter season. I love fall season, the leaf became red brick or yellow, a breezy wind blowing your neck and everybody wear jacket, cardigan and scarf with glove. a perfect season to drink hot chocolate milk. In fact i was born in September, a fall season. But it all just happen in Europe or 'Merica. I live in equator area, so the season I had to deal just a BURNING-SUMMER and HEAVY-RAINSTORM-THUNDER . No, it's not pathetic as you heard, I kind of enjoyed it actually (I used to it).  So only in HEAVY-RAINSTORM-THUNDER I have a chance to wear layers like an elegant jacket or cardigan without scarf or glove. But I don't have an elegant jacket or coat, all I have is...

Shippai wa Seikô no Moto

Okay, you all probably wandering why I wrote a tale in the last posting and in Indonesians language, there’s two reasons about that. First, my friends always insist me to write something in Indonesians language, no, they rare not stupid they just cant speaks or write English fluently (well actually my English level is pretty basic and of course I have bad grammar, but what the hell). And the second is, I just finished read Khaled Hosseins new book ‘AND THE MOUNTAINS ECHOED’, awesome book and greats plot story, you should read it. After that, the inspirations come to my brain like a wrecking ball with Miley Cyrus nude on it, swinging around and crushing my brain with her magical rainbow inspiration. And then I start write it down instantly. I also edited a few parts, because lots of consideration, thoughts, comments and advice from my friends. For you who cant read my tale, its okay I promise someday I will translate it into English or make   a new one, and no, I wont using Google ...
