Gucci Presentation

 

Monday started at 8am in the Emporium mall in BKK  that proceeded to be my home for the next eleven hours with the Gucci store as my main room. Thee presentations were scheduled for the day to showcase the Spring/Summer 2012 collection.

 Luckily John Beara was there photographing the event for W5 Magazine so I was able to get these pictures. These events would be boring to blog about if it was only words. I can tell you that we did a fashion show inside the store then proceeded to pose around the room for photos but this event was all about the clothes so I'm glad I can share these photos with you. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since the day had three different presentation, we had a few breaks where we could walk around the mall and get much needed coffee and food. Modeling in Asia, I've become accustomed to people staring at me but I've never walked around a mall and had every single person watch me. I guess the gold paint in my hair and black eyes drew some attention!

Wolf Circus Video

A short and sweet video put together by Jennifer Dickinson from our Wolf Circus shoot. She managed to captured the care free vibe of the shoot in 35 seconds. Watching this video from Bangkok made me miss the west coast scenery at home, even though that was a very cold day to be on the beach! Ah the things we do for fashion.

The Raqia Waves

Assalamu'alaikum

Sekitar sebulan yang lalu, saya berkesempatan membuat video tutorial hijab bersama teman-teman dari UI Fashion Week sebagai salah satu bingkisan bagi peserta Hijab Class. Tak sengaja, saya bertemu teman baru, namanya Alida, yang saat itu secara kebetulan menggunakan Tosca Raqia Skirt. So beautiful. I like it ;)

Kalau dipakai, beginilah kira-kira bentuk dari Raqia Skirt. Bentuknya yang bergelombang di bagian samping kiri dan kanan membuat langkah semakin dinamis. Kesan elegan juga tampak pada desain dan warnanya yang kuat. Jangan takut untuk menggunakan warna toska yang terang sebagai bawahan. Imbangi dengan menggunakan warna netral untuk atasan, dan jilbab bermotif untuk menyempurnakan penampilan.

Wolf Circus

Before I left for Bangkok I had the pleasure of working with a local jewelery designer in Victoria. Fiona Morrison has a line called Wolf Circus that contains some lovely pieces.

Shooting outdoors in January is always risky but we were lucky to have a clear day. But man was it cold, I couldn't stop shaking by the end. I did get to take home a few pieces for myself including my favourites, the fish bone bracelets, that I had to have in both colour options. I've gotten tons of compliments on them here in Bangkok!

Welcoming KIVITZ's New Store at MUSE 101

Assalamu'alaikum

Alhamdulillah, sekarang KIVITZ sudah punya tempat baru. Tepatnya di MUSE (Muslim Urban SEctor) 101, lantai 3, fX Sudirman, Jakarta. Persiapan untuk mendekorasi booth masing-masing tenant sangatlah sempit, jadi tim KIVITZ memaksimalkan dekorasi seadanya saja dengan menggunakan standing hanger seperti ketika bazaar. Siap atau belum siap yang penting jadi dulu.. hehe ;p

Syarat dari pihak MUSE 101 sendiri adalah standing hanger atau lemari yang kita gunakan harus bertema urban (kayu atau besi-besi tua). Sedikit cerita menarik saat loading barang di mall. Benar-benar pengalaman baru. Segala jenis peralatan diharuskan sampai di mall sebelum pukul 9 pagi, demi kenyamanan tamu mall. Hari itu, saya dan tim KIVITZ berangkat dari Depok pukul setengah 6 pagi. Seperti kita tahu, jalanan Jakarta yang sangaaat..sangat macet, membuat kita sampai di mall jam 9 pagi. Sedikit cemas, kalau-kalau satpam tidak mengizinkan barang-barang KIVITZ dibawa ke atas. Tapi Alhamdulillah, kita masih diperbolehkan naik lift barang.

daaaaan....

Welcome to KIVITZ booth!

Beginilah tampilan booth KIVITZ sekarang jika kamu datang ke MUSE 101. Tampilan furniture baru ini didesain sendiri oleh suami saya. Dia juga yang memesan dan mengkoordinasikannya langsung ke toko kayu furniture. Waktu pengerjaan cukup 1 minggu saja. Terbuat dari kayu jati belanda dan cat yang digunakan disesuaikan dengan warna company KIVITZ, yaitu ungu dan abu.

Saat ini beberapa koleksi HIGHWAVE sudah tertata menghiasi display KIVITZ di MUSE 101. Seperti yang terlihat di gambar, ada Raqia Skirt, Aliya Dress, Faria Dress, Zahrah Top, dan lainnya.

So colorful, I love bold and bright colors. Warna yang kuat bisa memberi penekanan dan kontras pada mix and match yang digunakan :)

Oh iya, Polka Scarf, yang merupakan scarf motif terbaru dari KIVITZ, juga sudah bisa didapatkan di MUSE 101 yaa.. Selain itu berbagai macam warna Cala Scarf juga sudah tersedia.

Fendi Presentation

Photo by John Beara

The other day I did a press presentation for Fendi with Raminta and another girl from our agency, Nastia. Most of the time was spent waiting and doing hair and makeup in a freezing cold 'library' then we were in the showroom full of the new line for Fendi to pose with the products.

 

I fell in love with the Chameleon bag that I was carrying for the day. The blue and yellow colours complimented each other perfectly.

Polka Scarf

Assalamu'alaikum

Sudah lama saya tidak meng-update mix and match dengan menggunakan Basic Cotton Maxi Dress by KIVITZ. Basic Cotton Maxi Dress adalah salah satu produk Basic Electric yang diproduksi tahun lalu dan menjadi best seller saat itu karena modelnya yang simple, sehingga mudah di-mix and match dengan apapun. Foto ini diambil beberapa minggu lalu, saat rapat dengan para tenant Muse 101.

Produk KIVITZ terbaru saat ini adalah POLKA SCARF. Warna dasar Abu dan polkadotnya warna Ungu. Sekilas perpaduan warnanya mirip warna company dari KIVITZ, abu dan ungu (kalau kalian menyadari ;p). Hehe. Bahan jilbabnya adem, lemes, dan sangat lebar. Jadi bisa sampai menutup dada dan belakang. I love syar'i hijab style :)

Outfitters

 

My second day in Bangkok consisted of a twelve hour photo shoot for Outfitters Clothing. Jet lag and work don't usually mix well but I had a a great team to work with which makes everything easier.

The outfits all consisted of bright clothes and fun accessories, I felt like a kid playing dress up. It was definitely a tiring but very good introduction to Bangkok. These kind of shoots are the ones where I love my job.
