Runway Report

Since I'm not living in Jakarta, I haven't had a chance to watch Jakarta Fashion Week (JFW) on live.

Fortunately, we can always get the "runway reports" from other fashion media either online or offline, or via the event's official site.. :) And we can always find something inspiring and fresh coming up from the shows like this..

As for this year Jakarta Fashion Week, JFW 2013, one show that grabbed my attention was a show titled THREELOGY.

It was the show that showing off collections by three, young and talented Indonesian Muslimah Fashion designers: Ria Miranda, Restu Anggraini, and Noni Zakiah.. The collections were fabulous.

Ria Miranda with her feminine-romantic touch turned the stiff, garish-coloured, Minangkabau Songket textile into a softer look using faded-colours songket; while Restu Anggraini with her edgy street style rose up the Goyor saroong from Pemalang; and Noni Zakiah with her bold signature style showed up with the stand-out motif-ed, NTB (Nusa Tenggara Barat)'s tenun textile.

Here are my favorites from each of the collections:

Ria Miranda

Restu Anggraini

Noni Zakiah

Well, which one is your favorite? :)

Feauturustic 2012 by Up2Date

One of Indonesia's well-known clothing lines in Muslim Fashion, Up2Date, on December 15th, 2011, showcased their feauturustic collection in regard to Jakarta Fashion Week.

According to Nita Damayanti, the chief director of Trimoda UptoDate, the word "featurustic" was a synergism of words: feauture, future, and rustic. So it can be defined as the upcoming looks with a touch of rustic/country style.

I love the "casual-ness", "comfort-ness" and "new-ness" that shone through the collection.

Here are the 15 looks from the show's runway:

And from the recent premiere Indonesia Fashion Week event - Day 2 (held on February 24th, 2012, in Jakarta), here are some features of Islamicwear highlighted by Aquila Magazine:
 


The trend of year 2012 on Muslim Fashion showed by the video clip is all about multicultural looks, and that Muslim fashion can be fun and playful.

You can do it yourself by mixing-and-matching two or more cultural touch (selected from a great variety of world's cultures and traditions) into one outfit. Or, creating a kind of urban/contemporary look with a touch of local culture.

Happy mixing! :)

Style Note on Jakarta Fashion Week 2012

After catering "Futuristic, Sci-Fi" theme in her collection not so long ago, called "SPACE AGE", Hannie Hananto on recently Jakarta Fashion Week 2012 day 3 (Nov. 14th, 2011), brought up a "Rock Style".

The collection was so unique and bold with chains, antique keys, and sunglasses as the accessories, and using lots of leather as materials. Dominated by color black, the collection was edgy-rock, mysterious, yet still elegant.

Along with few other Moslem fashion designers, Hannie will show off her notable collection at the International Fair of the Moslem World 2011 in Le Bourget, Paris France, in December 14th-19th, 2011.
