Fashionesedaily has the privilege to meet with Michael Pondaag, the Head of Stylist of Indonesian Harper’s Bazaar in one of his many shooting trips to New York. Last time he was here, which was in 2007, I didn’t manage to get an in-depth conversation with him and this time I’d make sure I wouldn’t miss it again.
It was a great pleasure and honor to actually sit and talk with him again during his visit in New York. He showed me the last editorials he styled in New York, it was for the wedding edition of Indonesian Harper’s Bazaar. I’m loving all the fashion spread he did, the way he styled the male model as the groom with a cute bow tie and sneakers, and the bride with the teddy bear turban by HomeDeco Studio, how lovely! (see the photo spread after the jump!) And, there was another spread of an outdoor wedding story in Bali with model Mariana Renata, which was absolutely breathtaking, as it actually pictured the dream wedding that I wish I had ;( I am more than convinced that he is by far one of the most talented and influential Indonesian fashion editor of today. Yet, he’s still humble of his extraordinary journey.
