words words: I decided to make this post because it's about an Indonesian designer.To be honest I'm not familiar with Indonesian designer and i think they lack of something, i dont know what, innovation or originality maybe? Buuut, i found this person when i was strolling through the Sartorialist blog, and thought that this person was awesome! he used a Dries Van Noten sarong pants, which is part of the women collection! gosh.. now that's one reason to love him. :p that was when the stalking started.. LOL

Comme des Garçons F/W 2007

Yeah, i know it's last year' collections. But, considering the lack of update in Comme des Garçons clothing in Indonesia, so yeah, here goes...




i dig those 'groping-hand'




This is one of my favorite shows of Comme des Garçons the pastel colors, the "weird-hand" groping the clothes, LOL that's awesome! And the hats added the whole quirkiness of the clothes, the styling was just plainly perfect. 

Oh yeah, can't wait for the collabo with H&M !
