JFW 2013: 4 New Designers & Labels to Watch Out For

seo-img-article

For me personally, fashion shows from the students or alumnus of a fashion school are the ones I most want to see. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to see new talents flourishing from these kind of shows. I still remember two years ago when I first saw Yosafat Dwi Kurniawan’s design at the JFW 2010/2011 La Salle show – the sharp design and tailoring really is something to remember. At the same show, I also saw the girly and playful design of Argyle & Oxford. From then on, I’d always make a mental note to attend the shows held by fashion schools at JFW.

Here are the five designers who need to be under your radar from now on. They each have their own characteristics, but what makes them noticeable for me was that the consistency they brought in for the whole looks in the collection. There’s a common theme in each of the look to make it seem like they actually belong to the same collection. I think that’s one of the hardest things to do, connecting the dots. Also, the detail and innovation that they put into the collection play a big part. Most of those that caught my attention is the ready-to-wear, because I love fashion that is not just beautiful to look at but also wearable.

 

1. Peggy Hartanto and her collection titled ‘Unseen’ creates curvy silhouette with the help of see-through material combined with white and black garment. Very breathtaking. And it’s actually a dress that Peggy herself would wear! Of course, dresses like these can only be worn with those with a perfect body shape, but then again, if she can create something this beautiful, I’m pretty sure she can create something that is more appealing to a wider audience maintaining the same design aesthetic. Peggy said that creating her own line is something that is already on her plan. I’ll be watching her very closely.
