Tex Saverio Jakarta
Now here was a designer so buzzworthy that the JFW council thought it was worthy of an IFF show of its own. Tex Saverio Jakarta actually debuted this collection at an intimate show last month at Paris Fashion Week. Where else would a man whose avant-garde vision would fit in so perfectly with this surrounds? The collection, titled Fantasy Made Reality, is laden with laser cuts and intriguing materials. The collection was named so after the designer felt he had achieved what he set out to do: establish an exclusive ready-to-wear line, therefore turning his own dreams into reality.
Is the collection beautiful? Yes. Saverio toned down the arthouse idealism we see in his Tex Saverio label to produce numbers that are more down-to-earth but keep their dreamy appeal fully intact.
So it’s beautiful, yes; but is it wearable? This totally depends on how ballsy the person wearing it is! In the wrong hands, the outfit will end up wearing the wearer, and not the other way around. Like all excellent collections — as out there as this collection seems — it’s still very wearable depending on what you wear it with and how you wear it.
The first set of IFF shows did not disappoint me at all. What did you love? What did you hate? Let us know in the comments! 🙂
