Plaza Indonesia Fashion Week 2013 - Day 6: SebastianRed

Statement dresses with beautiful patterns, choice of fabrics, and structured or lady-like silhouettes have always been the reason of why I fall head over heels in Sebastian's collection. Even though each part of the dresses can stand out alone, the overall look is still so pretty and under control. Flawless might be the right word. By using a big match of earrings and a pair of high-platform heels, the whole collection enhances a stronger image.

Sebastian Gunawan at FIDé Fashion Week 2013

Sebastian Gunawan has a distinctive quality as a couturier: he is remarkably close with his clientele. Gunawan is able to deliver traditional craftsmanship with the high society demands of the Indonesian customer.

He introduces a breath of freshness into any insipid, predictable social function. By some stroke of inspiration, the collection he presented tonight referenced cocktail dresses with much playful razzle dazzle. Maybe all it took was the sparkle in every silver lining that resonated through the whole collection, producing a Great Gatsby convention of sorts.

Dispatches from the Front Row: Day 2 at IPMI Trend Show 2014

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.
