My Graduation Day | with Lurik Dress

I prepared two dresses for my graduation day, April 13th 2013.
The blue one was made from lace, lurik, cotton with ikat motif
that all I have bought from Jogjakarta
The black one was made from sarong (red)
I asked my friends to vote which one is more suitable
for my graduation dress,
and the answer was the blue one

And for my special day ever, I also made hat and handbag
to make my look perfectly.
I did make up and hair do by myself and taraaaaa,
this is my look :)

My boyfriend and I :*

Thanks Mom, Thanks all, you'r so special :*

VEILED LOOKS and THE ART OF CONTRAST (Trend SS/2013)

Research for trend 2013, I found something interesting for you. May be we often wear the outfit on trend, but we did not know what they called. So, check this out:

VEILED LOOKS. Have you heard about Veiled Looks? Roberto Cavalli, Reed Krakoff, and Haider Ackermann, among others, adopted new transparency measures, using featherweight, sheer materials like silk chiffon, organza, and mousseline.

THE ART OF CONTRAST. Seen at Marc jacobs, Narciso Rodriguez, jil sander, and celine, back-to-basics black and white looked right after seasons of brights, prints, and over-the-top embellishment.

These are some from indonesian portal that is on trend:

Kaitylin Maxi Dress, you can find it here 

Picasso Pant, you can find 'the art of contrast' trend here

Cinderella shoes, i love this very much

Twiggy

You can follow trend or make take over, it's up to you ;)

The most important is be creative and do it confidently.

The Trend of Sarong

Indonesia Fashion Week 2013 has inspired me more about fashion. After I had found the neon color trend in 2013 at Jakarta Fashion Week 2013, I also found the trend of sarong at Indonesia Fashion Week 2013. A lot of people knew that sarong is used to pray and another rituals. In fashion, sarong is a unique material that can be used to make unique design, too. Some wonder design I have found at Indonesia Fashion Week 2013. But just some photos that I can take.

The trend of sarong

Sarong can be used to make some dress in formal, traditional, casual, feminine, masculine, classic, modern, ... everything style. We can make sarong become the main part of dress or just make it some patches, accessories, or something like that. Inspired by this, I wanna make a graduation dress in modern classic style with the main materials is sarong. hehe :)

The 3rd winner
at Indonesia Fashion
Design Competition 2013

The second picture is my new friend, Firoh, whom I have met at IFW2013. She is a Indonesia Fashion Design Finalist. She work at garment workshop in Jogjakarta, but she have a new fashion label, named 'Agris', too. She bring 'Agris' to IFW2013 in order to introduce to people if there is a great fashion designer behind the great fashion design. And I think she make it, because her design got the 3rd number in the competition.

I learn from Firoh, that everything come by process. She is a fashion designer, but she can make her product sold by someone, who back up her product, not herself. I mean that, as a new fashion label, she should make people aware about her product by the famous company. And I think the same thing with Firoh.
