Jakarta Fashion Week is a place for designers creativity, indeed. We can see many brand-sponsored designers, and that usually impresses me because typically, designers will follow a specific theme given to them. If that were me, I could imagine it is not easy at all to interpret the theme. It’d be a different story if I could pick my own theme, I have the freedom and unlimited ideas. But I guess, these three young designers must be feel challenged and excited about it. 🙂
Mazda presents three young and vibrant designers for Jakarta Fashion Week 2013: Friederich Herman, Toton Januar, and Cynthia Tanujaya. The theme for three of them was “KODO – Soul of Motion” which is the newest design theme from Mazda. Each designer brought their own interpretation on to their collection for the show.
Friederich Herman – My jaw dropped when I read his achievements. At a young age, Friederich already got so many recognitions, locally and internationally!
And for Jakarta Fashion Week 2013, he showed masculine and modern side of women. Nothing feminine, nothing soft. Black and white spoke a strong dynamic sense, and Friederich also played with digital printing in his collection, making them edgier.
