JAKARTA
(JP): Sebastian Gunawan's
fashion shows are always big events. His most recent, held at Hotel Mulia in
Central Jakarta last week, went one step further in cementing his image as one
of the country's finest designers.
It
was a grand presentation of 100 supremely beautiful gowns and precious jewelry
on a spectacular stage before a huge audience. It seemed to make a statement:
The era of Sebastian Gunawan is
here and now!
He
chose ""opulence"" as his theme and the entire collection
was fittingly grand, extravagant and sparkling.
His
collection was a stunning visual performance for the 1,500 guests -- the
largest number for any fashion show in Jakarta -- including his regular
customers, fans of his creations, fashion lovers and the media, who were
honored on this occasion to have the front seats normally reserved for VIPs.
