Jakarta Fashion Week 2013: 
Fashion Knights
Indonesia's leading fashion glossy, Dewi Magazine, who is one of the chief organisers of Jakarta Fashion Week, sponsors a collective show that normally closes the extravaganza (read: followed by requisite closing party). However, in light of this JFW's tropical storm versus the tent showdown, the show, as it were, went down on the third to last night rather than as the grand finale. Nonetheless, Dewi "Fashion Knights" showcases some of Indonesia's more established players.
My two favourites included Sapto Djojokartiko, who showed commercial yet ethereally girly pieces consisting mainly of burnt out pearly velvets, cream oversized boyfriend blazers and one body-con maxi with a long, flyaway panel and Oscar Lawalata. Oscar, one of Indonesia's design darlings, looked to the twenties for a contemporary spin on the 1920's, intricately hand-fringed tops and mini dresses swished down the runway paired with flowing chiffon trousers in tone on tone incarnations. The other designers included a punk cowgirl meets trompe l'oeil Spous by Priyo Oktaviano, the flowing robes, sheer sarongs and twisted hairdos ofDeden Siswanto and cherised longtime designer (her career spans 3 decades), Ghea Panggabean, who gleaned inspiration from traditional wayang puppets.
