Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2015

5:17 PM FashionTV Indonesia 0 Comments

What happens when Nicholas Ghesquiere fuses fun, chic, casual and class? It's called Louis Vuitton S/S 2015. We knew his arrival at the house was a promise of a facelift, a new era and nuance for Louis Vuitton.

Ghesquiere knew even when Louis Vuitton is sky-high in terms of prestige, he wanted to build an image from the ground up. He wants to deliver the brand new Louis Vuitton woman but not losing its originality.

For spring/summer 2015, Ghesquiere brought in a handful of themes together; Americana, 70's and whatnot. The southern trend is noticeably growing and we are loving it. Mini A-line skirts in combinations of red/navy and yellow/black eel skin were cleverly paired with white frilly tops. Following were pieces still with the same silhouette bearing a very unusual print that consisted of a vintage red car, salt and pepper shakers, eyelash curlers and a bunch of random stuffs. The funny thing is that the highly coveted Petit Malle minaudiere was also there. So much of a promotional purpose? Quilted biker jackets, mini flared skirts, fur-lined grey jackets, material-blocking dresses in vibrant colors,  lace tights, tapestry print suits and velvet pants made up the collection. The diversity is at a level in which it has become kind of mind-boggling. We mean Ghesquiere managed to pull off a very solid collection out of a bunch of different themes. Imagine the mess it would be if somebody else were to do it. But then again, nobody could've come up with this idea.


Louis Vuitton jumped in the quilt and chain bandwagon in this entire bag soiree. The newest flap bag is insane. We agree that Ghesquiere might have been like, "Oh my God, this bag I designed turns out to be awesome. Let's do this one in 1000 types of leather. I'm sure it's gonna be kick-ass." And it worked. Note the new LV monogramme on the front flap of the bag - they are just killer. We are totally digging it and look at the stash of change on our desks that we are trying to pile up.

Diane von Furstenberg Resort 2014-2015: Celebration

10:04 PM FashionTV Indonesia 0 Comments

“With a joie de vivre that’s all her own, she waves her flags of freedom and color!”- Diane von Furstenberg

True to herself, she is wrapped in print and color, ready to travel wherever the celebration takes her. With a wink and a smile, she marks the occasion in effortless silhouettes; oversized coats over sleek trousers, a-line skirts and plenty of tributes to the guest of honor, the wrap dress.

She is the life of the party in bold prints and the center of conversation in clever color-blocking. In a field of poppy with bursts of vibrant red and chrome purple, she emerges, fresh and modern, just in time for the holidays. A feminine take on a tuxedo turns heads, while embellishment is just subtle enough to let her shine. 

Animal printed totes and sparkling minaudières are the punctuation, while metallic sandals add an edge. 

As curiosity gives way to wanderlust, soft, graphic knits and a color-blocked top over sleek trousers take her anywhere, while strong stripes keep her grounded. 


With an effortless sex appeal, she sparkles in a glamorous shirt-dress, reflecting the first glimpse of the sun as the celebration continues.

The Hadid Sisters

5:06 PM FashionTV Indonesia 0 Comments

The international fashion scene was suddenly invaded by two green-eyed beauties. One has walked for Chanel, the other had been featured on a dozen of fashion magazines. They are on top of Beverly Hill's social chain, hanging out with Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Hailey Baldwin, Doutzen Kroes, Lily Aldridge and the list goes on.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Gigi and Bella Hadid.

Their father, Mohammed Hadid is a Palestinian real-estate mogul residing in the United States. Their mother is Dutch model/The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Yolanda Foster. So yes, we can say modeling runs in the family.

Jelena Noura "Gigi" Hadid was born on April 23rd 1995. Gigi was discovered by Paul Marciano at the age of 4. Her association to Guess started with her posing for Guess Kids and Baby Guess campaigns. She continued her joint effort with the brand for the years that came and landed one of the biggest titles - she was named the face of Guess Jeans in 2012 - also thanks to her never-ending legs. She signed with IMG New York in 2011. Earlier this year Gigi posed for Sports Illustrated 50th Anniversary Swimsuit Edition alongside far more seasoned models Chrissy Teigen and Lily Aldridge. It was a highly prestigious gig for models, especially for one as young as 19. Her biggest break was walking for Chanel at Paris Fashion Week last September.

Isabella Hadid was born on October 6th 1996. She shares her mother's love of riding. She has been riding since the age of 3 and has won many awards, competing as a national-ranked equestrian. Riding is not only the passion she shares with her mother. Her modelling career took off after she signed up with IMG this year. Since then she has been featured on a handful of fashion magazines. She is now a student at Parsons The New School for Design in New York, pursuing a degree in photography, a hobby she started having when she was 3 (really). Aside from modelling and school, she is now running her own clothing line, Robert Riley Jeans. Let's see where else this brunette can take us!

In the meantime check out these awesome photos of the girls:

JFW 2015 Report - Indonesia Fashion Forward 4: Rosalyn Citta, Patrick Owen, Sapto Djojokartiko, Tex Saverio

3:55 PM FashionTV Indonesia 0 Comments

At 8 pm, the Fashion Tent at Jakarta Fashion Week was buzzing with excitement. A very long and crowded line of people stood behind the gates to see the most awaited show of the first day of the event. Soon enough they had swarmed the show area and flooded the seats. The room went dark.

One by one, the lights lining up above the runway lit up, following the footsteps of the first walker; designer Rosalyn Citta. Closely tailing behind was her troop in black, donning her handcrafted jewelries. It was a really short presentation, but it successfully delivered the idealism behind Rosalyn Citta; luxury in simplicity.


A new song played and it was cue for Patrick Owen. Patrick Owen brought menswear and womenswear to the show. He built on his same foundation of the seasons past; a collection that empowers; one that thumbs through the vulnerability and the strength of men and women. The dark prints were still at play, but this time only in menswear. The women got their own share of art. Patrick reverted from his all-cuts-and-silhouettes way and took a plunge into lingerie exploration. Many of the pieces were inspired by lingerie. They were in all kinds of shapes and modifications; a crisscross-strapped bra; a teeny tiny triangular brocade bra; all of which were paired with either knee-length clean cut dresses, or sheer top. The ground-sweeping gowns were phenomenal; one had a high slit at the right thigh and it had just the right amount of sexy and class. The other one posed a threat to conservative dressing - no, it was not provocative - it was the epitome of audacity. Each component of the piece was woven cleverly with one another, showing skin here and there just in the right places and proportions.





Sapto Djojokartiko was an entirely different story. It represents a modern woman. Inspired from the batik stamping tool, Sapto Djojokartiko took the Javanese culture to a new level of modernity. It was about making a traditional culture wearable for modern women. Sapto integrated elements that are considered modern into tonal looks consisting of streamlined waistcoats, a bomber jacket, a high-waisted pencil skirt, matching loose embroidered loose shirt and pants, culottes, loose-fitting sheer skirts and a line of loose but waist-hugging dresses in meticulously crafted fabrics. Each and every one of the looks from the collection bore tonal embellishments/embroidered patterns, giving of a feminine nuance. However the shoes that they were paired with brought a sense of tomboy. All in all, the collection reflected modern elegance and versatility.






The last designer of the show was Tex Saverio. A strong futuristic aura emitted from the collection, especially with the crystal-coated masks worn in a couple of looks. All the pieces had a strong geometric character and less serpentine details. They were completed in laser-cut technique like Tex Saverio's previous collections. Not to miss was his signature circle skirt, only this time paired with bandeaus and other skin-showing tops. The collection also included matching tapered pants and jacket, matching top and knee-length pencil skirt in what seemed to be a crytal-esque print, middle-slit minis, and they advanced to the highlight of the collection; the elaborately embellished see-through gowns with fishtail bottoms.
