I have to be honest, I've been looking for local material to write about since I got back to Jakarta, but nothing about the fashion scene here has caught my interest. I mean, yes the scene isn't that bad actually, but personally, I am looking for something that is quite unique, an Indonesian label that still keeps their identity as a local brand - not just impersonating the Western world of fashion.
Well, even so far I still can't find anything worth blogging about for men, but I think I just found an interesting women's fashion editorial worth checking out - 'Neo Nirvana', featuring a collection from a young Indonesian fashion designer, Rinda Salmun. Relying on a black and white color scheme, Rinda cleverly infuses traditional Javanese art with glam rock futuristic-themed outfits and makes it work with her selection of ethnic jewellery and accessories. I'll say the highlight would be those amazing contemporary head pieces - adapted from the traditional Javanese shadow puppet show, and the forehead ink pattern used in Javanese Bridal make up techniques, which symbolizes the bride's new phase entering the marriage life. Based on the local culture's belief, this would prevent the bride from any bad luck that could disrupt the harmony of the future household.
There hasn't been enough information about these products so far, but now I have a good enough reason to not underestimate the Indonesian fashion scene. I don't know, you tell me.
More pictures after the jump.
