The most anticipated fashion fiesta is about to start tomorrow. From November 12 to 18, 2011, Pacific Place mall will be packed with fashionable people, fashion editor, stylists, buyers and the likes, who attend Jakarta Fashion Week 2012. The fashion week is organized by Azura Activation, an affiliate of Femina Group magazine company.

There we can see how the designers try to showcase their best creation, ranging from the established names to new promising designers. The schedule for the whole fashion week can be checked from www.jakartafashionweek.co.id. Among all the scheduled shows, there are several shows we’re really looking forward to such as:

Biyan's fashion show

  • The opening show “Alliance of Beauty” that will feature four of ASEAN’s most renowned designers: Biyan, Ashley Isham (Singapore), Bernard Chandran (Malaysia) and Tube Gallery (Thailand). The four designers were chosen based on their international track record and their ability to penetrate global markets. Celebrities seen in Ashley Isham include Florence Welch at the 2010 Brit Awards, Christina Aguilera at the 2007 Grammy Awards, Kylie Minogue, Cheryl Cole, Nicola Roberts, Pixie Lott and Lady Gaga. While Bernard Chandran opened his first flagship in Knightsbridge, London. His collection is currently available in Europe, Dubai, China, Japan and Korea. Tube Gallery has also participated in key fashion events all across the world including Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo, Sydney and Paris.
