JFW 2014 - ALBERT YANUAR (BAGIAN 1)

Romansa dalam Busana Karya Albert Yanuar

      Sepertinya episode “Le Vie Des Roses”karya Albert Yanuar di Esmod Jakarta Fashion Festival beberapa bulan lalu belumlah selesai. Aplikasi tiga dimensi mawar merah memang sudah tidak ada lagi tetapi motif yang menyerupai brokat masih turut mewarnai koleksi Albert di Jakarta Fashion Week 2014. Dengan tema “Morfogene”, desainer lulusan ESMOD Jakarta ini mengusung motif cantik nan rumit tersebut dari teknik laser cut. Motif-motif artistik itu berperan sebagai benang merah bersama dengan material berkilau dan flowy dalam pertunjukkan Indonesia Fashion Forward.

      Elegan, berkelas, dan penuh romansa, mungkin adalah kata-kata yang tepat untuk menceritakan keseluruhan koleksi “Morfogene”. Penataan rambut yang sederhana dan sleek menonjolkan keistimewaan busana-busana dengan potongan yang relatif sederhana tersebut. Cocktail dress dengan rok peplum dan bervolum serta long gown yang memeluk tubuh sukses membuat saya terbawa suasana.  Apalagi di awal pertunjukkan, terdapat kejutan yang memang merupakan ciri khas Albert Yanuar: transformasi busana. Dua model menyobek ujung atas cocktail dress mereka dan busana tersebut berubah menjadi long gown yang membuat audiens terpana. Palet warna yang digunakan di sebagian besar busana adalah gradasi biru, warna yang menyimbolkan tidak hanya ketenangan tetapi juga kekuatan koleksi itu.

     Pertunjukkan ditutup dengan kehadiran gaun panjang putih see-throughpenuh detail yang mengagumkan. Tentu saja, gaun itu membuat si pemakai terlihat layaknya dewi kahyangan yang amat anggun. Super simple, super complicated (in a good way), uber elegant... Superb collection!!

BILLY TJONG BRIDE 2014 COLLECTION

 

That night, Billy Tjong –collaborated with Bvlgari– participated in the Bazaar Bridal Week 2014 at Ritz-Carlton, Pacific Place, Jakarta. 20 sets of wedding gown and 2 suits had shown off at the stage. Carrying the theme of “Paint My Love”, Billy Tjong was inspired by the romanticism of popular romantic painting in 17th & 18th centuries. The romance nuance was spread by the emergence of the white gowns, especially the one having big ball gown and the only red ball gown. For the short gowns, I felt the feminine and playful look by making the color-block dress and asymmetry skirt in the dress itself. The look of model became prettier that night wearing Bvlgari jewelry.

SAPTODJOJOKARTIKO BRIDE 2014 COLLECTION

That night, Sapto Djojokartiko participated in "Emerald" Grand Wedding Exhibition at Shangri-La Hotel Jakarta. He showed his latest bridal gowns collection under the label of Saptodjojokartiko Bride. Feminine, elegant and graceful impressions were radiated aloud. The cutting was still like Sapto Djojokartiko's usual style like his typical of layers and ruffles over some dresses also the cheongsam collars (and don't forget the mask in the end of show) with 3D embellishment, sparkling glitters, lace, and etc. Drapery, see-through and sexy backless cut-out were also the parts of the collection. The main color was dominated by the pastel color even though in the end the audience was surprised by the emergence of black gown dress. Beautiful collection!

IFW 2014 - DANJYO HIYOJI

EN GARDE

Started with the strong performance of fencing, the show of Danjyo Hiyoji had stolen the audience’s attention. The hint of the unseen collection was already portrayed clearly. After doing the fencing in minutes, the athletes turned into guardians and stood strictly in the side of runway where the models began to show up one by one wearing Danjyo Hiyoji. The models were appearing in alien-ish looks with the collection and the attributes. “The collection itself is called “En Garde” which is a french word for on guard, as the inspiration require us to be on guard, the color pallet of this collection are white, grey, silver, and beige those colors are influenced by the uniform of fencing. the collection breathes the toughness and the graceful movements of the sport, it is reflected on the fabric usage on this collection, a mixture of sheer and loose fabrics and tough fabrics, just like the mask, a lot of see through fabric is also taking part in the pieces and the sharp asymmetrical cut-out is used for this particular collection, in total of 15 looks.“ the press release said. Strong -even in a soft and neutral color shade-, sporty, unique, and masculine, those words I have to say to the collection itself. The asymmetry cutting was very interesting (since not many RTW designers could make it right). The color choices were also very good since it stuck in the inspiration tightly. The whole collection generally was very stylish and totally wearable. Thanks to the marriage of fencing and the gene of Danjyo Hiyoji.
