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
Alright, here goes..

wah nga nyangka ya orang Indonesia bisa bikin koleksi kayak gini. Gue denger Anna Wintour love him lho ! ck ck ck salut deh buat Heaven !
who gave the comment that Indonesians are lack of innovation, originality? thousands of designers around the world dropped by our country to 'steal' the ideas of the cultures of our islands. look at the ikat print, batik, tie dye ideas, ...so please take care of your mouth shut! indonesians are great. international can blacklist indonesia from forums, but indonesia is always original, the cultures are not comparable! i am not indonesian and just tell the truth!
