Well, I was just amazed when I watched Fashion Trunk Show by Srintil Models this night at Parking Area, Ewalk (Balikpapan Super Block). They did fashion show for Welcoming Days event. I went to Welcoming Days for visiting some friends who are selling out some fresh drinks and ice burger, then decided to watch the Fashion Trunk Show.

In my humble opinion, Srintil decided to wrap up today's Fashion Show with something a bit unusual: a runway show featuring Takata Collections which are somewhat more toned down. The show demonstrated the incredible creativity of fashion in Japan's vibrant and taste.

Just look at these young models with their unique styles. Attractive and full of enthusiasm.

By the way I love the make up for today's show <3 See you guys in another fashion show.

These past two weeks I witnessed two photoshoots of Srintil talents. First they did photoshoot for the portfolio of Srintil Boys, located on the beach near Banua Patra, Balikpapan. And for the second photoshoot, I accompanied team Srintil to do photoshoot for the portfolio of Srintil Twins located at Mangrove Center, Kariangau.

This time, I did nothing with the team. I only borrowed the wardrobe for those two photoshoots. I joined the photoshoots because I was really curious what they would do with my wardrobe. Surprisingly I really love the styling works, I amazed by how their Srintil Talent, Chandra (who was in charge as stylist and makeup & groom at the same time) styled these talents (both twins and boys) with some same items but it really gave different statements. Thanks to him, I just realised that I've been collecting unisex clothes whole my life lol.

Earth tones (brown, green and dark blue) are never boring. Agree?

Even though they dressed up prettily in those feminine items (mini skirt, socks, dress, heels, platform sandals, short, big sized sweater), their expressions really gave boys' eye gazes (and it's also explained by the nude makeup).

For this photoshoot, Srintil wanted to make their talents to be in "we don't really care with our boyish face expressions right now" mood, I do agree with that, because I think Fashion is like a method of self expression. You'll never improve your sense of style if you are still with your default (safest) look every time.

Every girl shouldn't always look pretty everyday. Bring your inner Tomboy out. Experiment now, because there's no better time.

On The Beach

Batu batu beach, near Banua Patra

Fashion is like a test of your confidence. Dressing unconventionally will force you to develop the self-assurance, to stand out from everyone else. For some people in the town, they might think this photoshoot is strange, too brave and even "too scary". Though it was just a simple concept and the founder was trying to cross his comfort zone.

These boys are nude with nothing but a pair of underwear and posing for the lens of photographer Bobo. What was wrong?

I bet there's little controversy for this one as underwear is often not a publicly displayed garment. Never mind. Well, in my humble opinion, the human body is also the work of art and fashion is not something that exists in dresses only.

For your viewing pleasure. I round up some appropriated looks ;p

Actually this post is the the second work I did last year (in November 2015) for a local fashion brand, Batik Tenun VI as freelance stylist. Before this I did styling for THE FIDELE newest collection. I got this opportunity because the owner of Batik Tenun Vi, tante Ida and the owner of Kika Models Indonesia, ka Kiki Eka asked me to be a part of this collaboration. I said yes because why not? It was a job and I just wanted to expand my experience. Never in my life I thought I would be asked to be a stylist for a brand. Since this brand is pretty known in fashion industry so, once again, WHY NOT? :)

Anyway I want to share a little information about Batik Tenun VI, it's a retailer of hand-made Balikpapan batik and Kalimantan tenun by Ida Roy Nirwan. Being sick of seeing most of batik designs that are available in the market are mostly lacked of modern and edgy creativity (not following the current fashion, tante Ida decided to create her own modern and exclusive batik designs, hence Batik Tenun Vi was born, being in both traditional and modern Balikpapan batik and Kalimantan/Borneo tenun, she made beautiful dresses, skirts, tops, bags and shoes, scarves, etc for women and men. Let's check out Batik Tenun Vi's collection 2015.

As I walked into Batik Tenun Vi boutique, I was quite stunned to choose which items the models should wear. Trust me the boutique has two stories, quite big enough, it's been a confusing situation because there were so many designs. I was totally spoiled with choices and here are some looks I created for Batik Tenun Vi's collection 2015. Let's check them out :)
