Votum by Sebastian Gunawan and Cristina used clean and simple cuts in Dusk & Dawn, their Holiday 2013/14 collection. I really, really loved
how these dresses looked: some of them appeared girly, but not so
overly girly — there was still a sense of maturity in them. I
personally don’t think I can pull off the sock-and-sandal combo the way
these models did, but I can’t deny that they look good from head to
toe. I’m especially a fan of the look that partially consisted of the
red sock and red lips. That’s a winner right there.
I think at first sight you might notice a very strong Chinese vibe in
this collection, because that’s what it is indeed. Votum highlighted
the festivity of Chinese New Year through colors, patterns, and
texture. Seeing the show contain the combination of blue, orange, red,
black, and white in beautiful embroideries was definitely a pleasure.
And look at those silhouettes; this collection is very wearable, to say
the least
So as you can seen, there’s a very clear linear visual history
exhibited through these collections, starting with Era Soekamto’s 15th century Asia, Barli Asmara’s 1950s Americana, and
then Votum’s brightly-lit salute
to the ’90s. These were my favorites from the second day of IPMI Trend Show
2014. Which one is your favorite, Ladies?
