Jakarta Style

Indonesian ladies are known for their exquisite style. Not a hair out of place, neat and sharp clothes, gorgeous make up (that bright red lip thing works for them perfectly *jealous*) when they walk out of the house, they could be so lady-like, stylish, classy, sexy-all in one. How did they do that? Probably a bucket of jamu everyday.

...and here we are, just a swim away across the sea, wearing ripped clothes and think we're cool *shakes head*.

I just spent the last hour browing through Jakarta Fashion Week 2010/2011 and one word.

OHMYGOD! Ok, maybe three words, whatever.

Genius designers they have there. Every piece of clothing is so over-the-top, but not tacky at all. Even their gowns and dresses have a bit of their culture and identity incorporated in them.
