The New Architecture of Transparency and Lightness Comes From Japan and Europe


Recently I was reviewing Dior Cruise 2018 collections “Sauvage”. And I thought maybe I can write something else such as my thought about trends (stupid trends, underrated trends, coming-back trends), or my life (love life, contemplating between reality and chasing dream, gossiping others). But then LV just showing the LV Resort 2018 collection in Kyoto, I have to write about that. Between jobs, keeping up fashion news, and my thought I couldn’t catch a breath (but I kinda enjoy it, helping me to improve my English and keeping me far away from being procrastinating). I promise that I will make updating my blog, so here we go. Let’s talk about this collection.

Okay, first of all I have to admit my jaw literally dropping far down from the cliff. LV Resort 2018 collection was held in Miho Museum, perched at the green valley far far away from the noisy crowded city. It’s not the usual-traditional-green-forest-with-temple Kyoto places, it is much more than that. It takes an hour drive from Kyoto to Miho Museum. Museum itself looks like a futuristic glass temple that has left by the long distant time traveller.

The Miho Museum was designed by a visionary architect I.M Pei. Perhaps you wonder who he is; he is the one that create pyramid of glass in Louvre museum (shocked enough). His contributed to the world with his modern architect design. Miho museum definitely become my travel destination in Kyoto, Japan. Nicolas Ghesquière sees the opportunity of this beautiful museum and turns it into the spectacular venue for showing the LV Resort 2018 collections.

The venue is really big, it crossing a valley in fact. There’s a long bridge with the tunnel behind it, the models walks from the tunnel to the bridge as for the runway, crossing a green valley. And then in the end of the bridge, stand tall a futuristic temple with glass. With a wide paving stairs, models from the nearly (I guess) future gather round on the temple and showing their contrast of outfit with the nature surround.

I can talk how spectacular the venue all day, but what about the collections. The collections itself is not working on me. Nicolas putting too much texture and pattern on the collections, it’s pretty risky business. In some way they look great and in the other is pretty "meh". I mean is it possible to predicting that the LV Resort 2018 collections will become a triumph trend in the nearly future, it's too soon to guess but not for me.

Nicolas collaborating the collections with Kansai Yamamoto the man who dressing one-leg glittering jumpsuit to David Bowie. I like the way he using Japans references in graphic and culture and then evolving it into something modern and futuristic luxurious pattern and print. He also make a boxy blazer (definitely with mixing the texture and pattern in one big boxy blazer) and emphasize the shoulder. Here are some LV Resort 2018 collections that i like.


In my opinion, Nicolas has a tendency to choose a futuristic venue to show the Resort collection. Back in the 2017, he took place in Niteroi contemporary art museum in Rio, Brazil and then in the 2016 in Bob Hope John Lautner museum (also a contemporary art museum). I guess it helping the mood for the futuristic collections itself. I wonder where will it be the location for LV Resort 2019

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 ...
