I just went to the opening of Level One, the new shopping section, in one of the hippest malls in Jakarta. The concept of the stores was simple and back to basic. Some interiors had this unfinished look which gave a modern and chic ambiance. Parallel to the up and rising of fashion industry in Jakarta, i saw several local designers with their masterpieces hung on their stylish little boutique. Few celebs came to celebrate the event, posh looking teenagers checking out one store to another. A local band was entertaining the visitors with free beer stall in the corner provided for everyone to relax and enjoy the evening. This was indeed one Fashion File...

Dion Lee has been under the lime light ever since his first debut at RAFW, integrating classic materials and industrial designs.

Do you know??

Intrigued by the word “Circassian Beauties” and their afro-like hair style on an article I read at Vogue.com, it led me to searching what it was. Women from the western side of Caucasus mountain region, it was suggested that they were “the purest example of the white race”. I was quite surprised to see how big their hair was, something that the majority of us now would associate it with black authenticity. This phenomenon shows how connected we are as a human being, that we’re not separated from one another. Now being an asian descent, I wonder if I can find pictures of Asians with big hair..Due to my limited resources, these are the closest I could find. In the end of the day it's fascinating to realize that we are all interconnecting from one another regardless…

Textile Prints

My family has been in the textile biz for ages yet i JUST knew the existence of Marimekko only today. What a shame! This led to the discovery of my Marimekko-inspired print dress that i bought from a close friend. Pairing it with my dark purple Zara cardigan..

Flair de Lune

If given two words to describe Fleur Cowles, she’s definitely the Lady of Colours. Aesthetic in her own way, eclectic and inspiring. One of the style icons whom i will always adore...
