From everyday styles to glamorous cocktail dresses, designers offered their latest prêt-à-porter from their Spring/Summer 2015 collection at Plaza Indonesia Fashion Week.
Young designer Yosep Sinudarsono took center stage of the fifth edition of the fashion week, which ran from March 23-27, as he showcased 40 designs from his ready-to-wear line, Lotuz.
Yosep said his Spring/Summer collection was inspired by the Roman goddess Pomona, who represented a modern revelation of a love story. “This collection is about love, extracting the mood, details and colors of Pomona’s story into the clothes,” he says.
This season, Yosep continues to highlight his constructed silhouettes with peplums and sculpted waist dresses.
A romantic mood swept the runway when he showcased a lot of two-tone dresses, with pink, light purple and silver as the main colors.
Handmade floral embroideries were seen on the chest, back and hips, enhancing the feminine touch in the dresses.
Moving on to the next sequence, Yosep changed the color palette to black and blue as he showed his creativity in combining several materials in one dress.
For example, in a royal blue satin jumpsuit with a peplum top, he outlined it with velvet to highlight a woman’s frame.
In addition, he also mixed luxurious satin and silk with casual wear linen and cotton.
“Ready-to-wear is often associated with the use of cotton and I want to keep that style by combining it with other materials for fresh designs,” said Yosep, who has dressed international celebrities, such as Grammy winning singer Estelle and TV personality Terri Seymour.
A tank-fit and flare dress with black velvet on the bottom edge, and a cut-out body fit dress with lines that toned up the body shape, were also highlights in this sequence.
In the last part, Yosep offered all-black designs.
To avoid the dresses looking dull, he applied some flashy little details on the right side of dresses and at the waist of the jumpsuits, and formed crystal beads into a belt on a plunge neckline dress.
“I dedicate this collection to working urban women who have high mobility. Some of the Spring/Summer designs can be worn for work and afterward,” he said.
Joining Yosep on the runway was , who also presented its latest collection, entitled “Midnight Bloom”, showcasing a series of gowns where a paintbrush had been used to design the batik.
“The collection is about beauty, confidence and elegance, showing unusual batik designs by combining traditional, firm, batik lines in blossoming floral patterns that represent the arrival of spring,” said creative director Anita Asmaya Sanin.
Midnight Bloom was dominated by dusk and color palettes with some shades of white to lift up the whole tone of the clothes.
A-line dresses, loose blouses and jumpsuits were presented, along with several cropped jackets and capes.
In addition, also offered some Palazzo trousers that were really popular in the 1960s and 1970s.
The dresses were made from woven cloth and silk as well as sheer fabric mixed with sequin and lace.
“Through this collection we want to highlight the use of burnout silk to make batik our signature,” Anita said.
Meanwhile, Bateeq presented more day-to-day styles for its “Tumaruntum” collection.
Inspired by Truntum batik from Central Java, which features a small flower motif, Bateeq showcased a light and colorful collection.
In some designs, the flowers were magnified and were the central focus, while in others, small flowers brightened up the plain dresses.
