flaunt Sebastian Gunawan’s
latest collection, ModMuse
Prominent
fashion designer Sebastian Gunawan has
embraced 2014, revealing a new collection that he calls ModMuse.
A prolific designer renowned for glamorous gowns and dresses, Sebastian,
popularly known as Seba , works hand-in-hand with his wife
Cristina Panarese in
designing and producing 118 of the latest looks, which are dominated by gold
and silver – the color trend of 2014.
ModMuse
derives from “modern” and “muse”, which the couple translates into something
that is “up-to-date”.
For the collection, Sebastian and Panarese were
inspired by regular women with great fashion sense.They prefer regular women who love to display their fashion sense through
social media.
“ModMuse
identifies women of today who have characters and good sense; women who are
concerned with how to express their beauty; those who know what they want and
are original,” said the couple.
In Sebastian’s stunning signature show at the Grand Ballroom of Hotel Mulia in
Central Jakarta recently, guests and fashion lovers were presented with a pile
of inspiring looks and styles.
For ModMuse, the
couple explored more feminine, glamorous, playful and romantic
looks.
Cocktail suits, short dresses and jumpsuits were among the graceful outfits of
the collection, which were swiftly arranged within ruffles. Wide to simple
skirts mixed with cropped tops and midi-length skirts, were also
highlights.
In another segment, the designers featured daring gowns, shift dresses and
volume gowns made of flashy fabrics for those with a brave
heart.
For women with strong character, Sebastian and Panarese
offered sturdy gowns with draperies, over-layered suits, as well as freshly
designed winged-outfits – all rich with interesting ornaments and
details.
Last but not least, Sebastian teased his audience with three simple yet classic
white wedding gowns under the Sebastian Sposa
line.
In the powerful collection, the couple uses classy fabrics such as knitted
fabric, damask, organza, lurex with flashy lines, suede, lace and
brocade within cream, orange, turquoise and blue colors aside from golden,
silver and bronze.
Nevertheless, gold, silver as well as bronze, dominated the
collection.
“You’ll see other colors, like blue, but all [colors] are mixed with gold and
silver, which are the ‘it’ colors in 2014,” said Sebastian.
To kick-up the glam, Sebastian and Panarese
added Swarovski crystals as well as elegant sequins.
Sebastian appreciates women who are able to be fashion role
models.
“We’ve seen a lot of women who know how to mix and match their outfits. We’ve
also seen fashion bloggers spring out in the country – they like to post their
updated looks on Instagram, for
example, or on any other form of social media.
“You don’t have to be an actress to be a fashion muse. Fashion changes in a
second. Whoever has good fashion sense can be a role model,” explained
Sebastian.
Overall, Sebastian continues to present a wearable collection, in which its
class and glam are never forgotten.
With
cuts that accommodate both local and international tastes, his new collection
is simply a classic.
