When 4 idealistic young designers gathered together, the result was a show beyond imagination. Albert Yanuar, Hian Tjen, Imelda Kartini, and Tex Saverio presented their own artistic dream on “Rejuvenate” fashion show, held in Upper Room – Jakarta.

Starting with Albert Yanuar, he actualized his theme “The Age of Reckoning” with many details of petals’ swirl and pleats. He also used original copper craft from Yogyakarta, so the dark side of the collection came in beauty as well. The theme didn’t force him to use only dark colors; contrarily he is daring enough to use bright colors, such as azure blue, orchid purple, and light orange. The whole look was gothic, highlighted the sense of reckoning.

Then, came “Lemurian” from Hian Tjen. Lemurian is a name of a sunken continent. With fin fish details, he created a collection in the image of futuristic. The use of metal as material highlighted the sense of “strong”. Because this was womenswear, he didn’t want to forget how to make it beautiful with those hand-painting sheer capes. The creation was imaginative, creating the look of beautiful underwater creature, such as water nymph.

Imelda Kartini hit the runaway with her dazzling “Fairy Warriors”. Inspired by the series of Avatar, she presented a full package of long gowns and tail dress. She took the beauty setting of Avatar’s nature and realized it into details of blossom flowers, feather, and decorated stones. The hair accessories were also amazing, an imagination of root-shaped and feather crown. She also added the sense of innocent with white dresses as final look which can also be a package of dream wedding dress.

Last but not least, Tex Saverio came with the true meaning of feminine fashion. His theme, “My Courtesan”, offered a complex-detailed collection with bold colors. Actually, the courtesan means a woman who attends the court of a monarch or other powerful person in 17^th-18^th century, but then the meaning refers to a mistress. With the collection’s accessories inspired by a shape of ornament candles, curtain, and ornament horns, he defined a mistress as “a classic stunning decoration”. He showed the taste of classic art with embroidery, drapery, and layers details.
