KIVITZ on Jakarta Islamic Fashion Guide

Assalamu'alaikum

Kalau di post sebelumnya adalah tenting fashion show KIVITZ di event Woman Islamic Forum, sekarang fashion show KIVITZ berlangsung di event Jakarta Islamic Fashion Guide. Event ini diadakan di Gandaria City seat bulan Ramadhan lalu, tepatnya tang gal 19 Agustus 2011, oleh teman-teman pita dari Remaja Masjid Cut Meutia (RICMA) yang bekerja sama dengan Hijabers Community. Di fashion show ini, baju-baju yang diperagakan merupakan penyempurnaan dari fashion show sebelumnya. Kalau dulu, saya lebih banyak menggunakan bahan chiffon dan satin, kali ini bahan bajunya didominasi bahan chiffon untuk atasan dan bahan katun bermotif floral untuk roknya. Baju-baju yang diperagakan dirancang untuk pakaian Hari Raya Idul Fitri. Design ini juga dibuat eksklusif, hanya 15 buah per model. Buat yang belum dapat koleksi ini, bisa dibeli di Moshaict ya :)

Acara berlangsung dengan baik dan mendapat sambutan yang cukup antusias. Di belakang panggung saya harus menyiapkan susunan baju yang dikenakan model dengan cepat. Mulai dari style kerudung, baju, rok dan aksesori sesaat sebelum para model memperagakannya di atas catwalk. Pada model rok, terdapat lipatan pada bagian dalam untuk memudahkan model berjalan. Namun dikarenakan angin bertiup kencang dan langkah model yang terlalu panjang sedikit memperlihatkan garis lipatan tersebut. Insya Allah tidak bermaksud mengurangi nilai syar'i, dan untuk kedepannya semakin diantisipasi :)

Berikut adalah beberapa foto yang sempat didokumentasikan oleh suami saya tercinta.. :D

Into the Last Month

Walking the boardwalk by Chris and Myana's place

My memory of this week is unclear for some reason. I didn't have many castings, actually only three all week, so I mostly just hung out with friends. I revisited SML with Robinson and Gert, sang way too much karaoke at Halo, partied at DI, stayed out in Man On Shan, and found waves at a beach.

We love us some Canadian food

Apparently there was someone having a birthday in DI.. aka us getting cool souvenirs

My new Canadian love

Chris learned that a Boa is not always a snake

Sleepover with Myana

Big Wave Beach in Shek O. The waves did actually get pretty big.

Gert right before she learned to love waves

You could rent surfboards and skim boards. Chris's surfboard broke but Robinson had fun on the skim board.

Little market area by the beach where I bought some flip flops

We walked up the mountain beside the beach to see the view

The sun started setting and turned everything pink.

 This was our last weekend with Chris as he is sadly leaving on Tuesday to go back home and Robinson will be doing the same in another week. I only have three more weeks here so it feel's like its winding down a bit for me too. But there will still be us girls here and I'm sure I can fit many more adventures into these next few weeks.

Ocean park and a Beach at DI

Last Friday I decided to do Ocean Park round two with friends. Last time I was there with my family we went on a Sunday at 10am and stayed till about 3pm. It was crazy busy and crazy hot so we mostly just saw the animals and avoided the long lines at rides. This time we went around 4pm and stayed till closing at 10pm. Cooler air and almost no people made it so much better. Ocean park is split into two sections with a focus on animals
in the bottom section and a focus on rides and water animals in the top section. This time we went on all the rides we wanted with barely a wait. Such a difference from the 2hr lines I saw last time.

Saturday was the birthday of DI's owner so they threw a beach party inside the club. With sand on the floor, water and bubble guns in effect and other various beach themes set up, they did a really good job transforming the club.

It turned into a late night that involved a walk home at 5am. Apparently the meat places in Causeway bay have dead animals on the street at this time of night. Not exactly a pleasant discovery.

The agency had texted Robinson and me on the weekend about a new Canadian model who was here and had no roommates asking us to contact her. We got together today for coffee and hung out until she had to go to a casting. HK is no fun without friends.
