Behind The Scene: 9 Summers 10 Autumns-NYC Wardrobe Production

By: Khairiyyah Sari

 

Making a movie is difficult already, let along during one of the worst natural disasters in 2012.

I immediately said yes, when Iwan Setyawan asked me to do styling for the movie 9 Summers 10 Autumns based on his best-selling book. Not just because we are good friends, but I see a great opportunity in terms of experience as I was never interested on becoming a wardrobe stylist for a movie before.

My main responsibility was to support the main actor, Ihsan Tarore, the 2006 Indonesian Idol winner and the main character of the book, for the New York scene.  The Indonesian scene wardrobe was done by the lovely Ms. Liza Mashita from Danjyo Hiyoji. The opportunity that was given to me has brought a valuable  and memorable experience.

Picking a suitable wardrobe for the main character wasn’t that difficult. Iwan and Ihsan are similar when it comes to their body type. I am fully aware of the author’s sense of style. While we were in New York City, I encouraged Iwan to try on clothes from various brands. Together, we shopped around Soho and the Village neighborhoods.

To create the NYC look, I received help from my designer close friend, also a former New Yorker, Auguste Soesastro. We tried to obtain ideas from the wardrobe of our friends and my husband. (more…)
