greener nation

Fashion First and Promenade boutique (Senayan City, Jakarta) held a Greener Nation press con and exhibition to embrace eco-friendly fashionista and soon-to-be eco-friendly fashionista. The eco-fashion concept include organic fabric, minimizing plastick for packaging, purchasing local product to reduce carbon emission. Yes-we definitely get that!

Let’s cool up the earth while stay in fashion!

The details...

The exhibition also displayed seven designs of canvas bag as the newest shopping tool for minimizing plastick. Say NO to plastic! (though the sentence "Turn on Plastic" is a bit cool. But just the sentence, not the act)

Richard Chai for Target

It's a big surprise for me when i went to this store in one of the mall in Jakarta and found one piece of Richard Chai for Target. What make me even shocked is that in the label, it said "Made in Indonesia". Can someone confirm this, please? Anyway-i bought it and love it :)

perfect pleated plan

Pleat pleat pleat....what more can I say?
It's so classy. Put on blazer on your pleated mini dress or just wear it as it is!
Find yourself on self-amusement with pleated wardrobe wherever you are: jetset party, wandering in old city, hang out with friends, crazy shopping day, self-meditation(why not?!).

Quote of the week: Oscar Wilde

"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months"
– Oscar Wilde

Though the quotation sounds negative, but there’s a good point on it. With the words “we have to alter it every six months”, it will boost and stimulate the creativity on fashion to always grow, modify and vary.

Say “Aye” to the alteration!

Note: Oscar Wilde was very fond of his velvet jacket, flowing tie, a wide-awake hat and in the early days of the Aesthetic movement, he often wore much ridiculed breeches. Wilde believed that flowing robes of classical lines and practical Turkish style trousers would be the better grab for both sexes.

Emma "Supergirl" Watson

After five years playing Hermione Granger and become “dear Emma” for thousands of fans around the world, she strikes again with her Gucci appearance. I must admit that the girl has quite an amusing taste on fashion. She always appears to be ‘lovely’.

Just look at the ‘supergirl’ Gucci she wore at the premier of Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix in Los Angeles. In my language, we call it cantik!

style came first before fashion

"'Style' is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style". (John Fairchild)

Reading that quote, reminds me of pop art guru Andy Warhol.

Andy has a strong character and charisma; and he's got the style! With his original art pieces, there's no way that he could run from fashion's 'vulture' eye. Below are just few examples of fashion's insatiable and 'greed' upon Warhol's works of art:
