Sebastian's Answer to What Dynamic Women Need

In this modern era, being just stylish and elegant isn’t enough; women should be dynamic too. Moving from a place to another demand attire that is able to adapt with the occasions. Answering this necessity, SEBASTIAN’S (Red Label) by Sebastian Gunawan and his wife Christina Panarese designed a Spring/Summer collection. The collection was showcased during Plaza Indonesia Fashion Week to celebrate Plaza Indonesia 21st Anniversary.

Unlike SEBASTIAN’S previous collection, in which some of the clothes used thick and heavy materials, this collection picked light and more comfortable fabrics such as shantung, organza and brocade. While the colors were varied from neutral color like black, white and brown; pastel colors like lavender and light pink; and also fuchsia as the vibrant one.  The collection consists of maxi and mini dresses and skirts paired with blouses that are practical for both formal and semi formal occasions.

This transformation of SEBASTIAN’S collection from extravagant-and-heavy dresses to this practical-and-dynamic attires doesn’t leave out SEBASTIAN’S signature. The creation are still decorated with glimmering details that resulted in elegant look.
