Best Dressed - Met Gala 2014

"THE MET GALA, formally called the Costume Institute Gala and also known as the Met Ball, is an annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Istitue. It also serves as an opening celebration for the institute's annual fashion exhibit. It is widely regarded as one of the most exclusive social events in New York and one of the biggest fundraising nights of the city with nine million dollars raised in 2013 and a record of $12 million the following year. The affair, attended by personalities from the arts, fashion, high-society, film and music, has been held at the Met since 1971 and is considered to be the fashion industry's premier annual red carpet event.

Anna Wintour, Vogue editor-in-chief and chair of the event since 1995, oversees both the benefit committee and the guest list, with Vogue staffers helping assemble the list of invitees. Each year the event has a theme, and includes a cocktail hour and a formal dinner. The gathering rivals the West Coast's Vanity Fair Oscar Party, which is said to have more "star power" but less fashion panache. In 2014, the individual tickets cost $25,000 for those outside the official guest list."

Viktor & Rolf Spring Summer 2014

FIRST TIME I WATCH This video I thought the ballerina and the whole thing is just the opening of the fashion show, while the truth is... all the couture that the ballerina wear is the brand new collection of Viktor & Rolf Haute Couture Spring Summer 2014! Isn't just amazing? It means that the model must have an ability for dancing ballet, or maybe the designers took the ballerina as model? Whatever, it;s out of the box and pretty insane, also the outfit was really really great. But it's pretty horror when I see the face, it covered by the messy hair, but I think it's a part of art. Sometimes, beautiful is never enough for someone artistic like both designers! But this is very unique and I appreciated so well.

"The world of classical dance inspired couturiers this season, resulting in graceful, delicate ensembles or leotard-like outfits that seemed to come from a ballerina's wardrobe. The graceful and delicate trend was at the heart of Julien Fournié's collection, entitled "Premier Frisson" ("First Thrill"), which included exquisitely tailored garments in soft shades (silver, lilac, grey). Dutch designers Viktor & Rolf also drew inspiration from the dance studio, but with different results. The collection consisted mainly of short, opaque dresses resembling leotards, with minimalistic tailoring and trompe-l'oeil prints suggesting tattoos or ribbons." -yahoo news.

LATE POST FROM OCTOBER I'm really sorry for disappearing a long long time. I almost forgot that I still have a lots of pictures from Jakarta Fashion Week 2014. This month was really a busy month because in the beginning of December I had a final examinations full a week, so a week before the final exam I have to prepare it! Study hard, get additions, completing all of the tasks and many more aaand it takes a loong time! So I decided to pause this posting for a while. One of the graduation requirements is making a paper. Then I made a paper talked about How Fashion Could Influence Teen Girls to be Consumptive. Yah kind like that. The progress making that paper takes... around 6 month. Because I had to distributing the questionnaires to 81 teen girls in my high school, and it's really useful for me because I can understand how markets are going, what consumer wants, why the local product still beaten by import products, etc. This is really good because fashion business is getting tough and tough. However, we still got the spirit!

This pictures took at day-4 of fashion week and I went there with kak Fary/kak Hendra, I still confuse, am I have to write Fary of Hendra? hehhe I call him Fary usually, but he asks me to call him Hendra because he love that nickname so much, and I also went there with my supeer loyal best beesst friend, Nabilla Nazihandari and she would be a singer! I'm proud of her :D and in the day-4 I met a lot of people and that day was being a looong tired day, in the morning I went to school after that I asked for permission and left the school and went to fashion week after that meeting and back and forth from Plaza Senayan to Senayan City and Plaza Senayan again and it was tired but it was fun! Take a look of these pictures!
