Hello beautiful curvaceous girls!
Everybody has their big dreams in their life so do I. Being a professor in Public Relations and a fashion designer for full-figure women are two of my big dreams. Working as a university lecturer is great but creating plus size outfits is AMAZING! I have been waiting to work as a fashion designer and to have my own plus size fashion label since my young age.
I started to design my own cloths when I was 15 years old. I love fashion very much. My mama and papa supported me by letting me design my own party dress and giving me money to buy expensive fabrics and to pay the dress making fee. She thought me how to choose the types of high quality fabrics, the colors, the patterns of textile, the designs that suitable for my body type. When I was studying in senior high school, I had an opportunity to have my own fashion show and to present my fashion designs. It was a beautiful moment in which I got great response from the spectators. However, I must put a side the dream to be a fashion designer. I was accepted in a prestigious university in Indonesia to get my bachelor degree in Communication Science.
My love of fashion is never stop that can be seen on how I dress up everyday. After a long time, my fashion style have been constructed. I tend to choose classic, simple, elegant, sexy, and feminine fashion style for my outfits. I am a big fans of Marks and Spencer and NEXT for daily outfits as well as Chanel, Ettiene Aigner, and DVF for special occasions. I love clothing from some Indonesian designers too such as BIYAN, Cossy Latu, Ghea Panggabean, and Kisson Harto for party and formal occasions.
In 2008 I moved to Australia to do PhD program in University of Newcastle. I really love to stay in Australia as it has fashionable plus size labels and designer. I am crazy to buy outfits from City Chic, Autographs, Diana Ferrari, Leona Edmiston, Dream Diva, Flirt and plus size labels from MYER such as Basque women, Estelle, and Eve Hunter. In my opinion, Australia is a heaven for plus size fashion! The price is still affordable, the price is good, and the quality is very good. Unfortunately my enjoyment has to be stopped!! I have to come back to Indonesia to "serve" my country as a university lecturer in an Indonesian university.
After coming back from Australia in 2014 I have been struggling to find great outfits that suitable with my "western" style. I can't buy beautiful and fashionable outfits that I want. One thing that I can do is I must make them by my self because it is difficult and very expensive to buy cloths from US or Australia via online shopping. The import tax is unbelievably HIGH!!! So in short word, I started to design and create my own outfits for daily need and special occasion. Here some pictures of my early designs.
I wore the dress when I met my best friend Mr. Agoeng Sudir Putra who is a famous fashion show choreographer and owner of Color Model Inc. I got a nice comment from him that he liked my dress. Then he suggested me to make my own fashion label seriously. He said that I got the talent and the style so I have to confident with my own design which reflect on my own characteristic and personality. I took very seriously everything he said.
In middle of 2014, I designed and created two formal dresses requested by my best friend, Mrs Sri Hastuti, for herself and her daughter. Unfortunately, I only got one photo of the two dresses that I made for her and her daughter.
My friend and her daughter were very happy and satisfied with the dresses. That moment was an important time for me to convince my self that i can be a fashion designer. I can't hold back anymore......
