Neon Magenta with dark navy ribbon, piles of candy cane-striped taffeta and tulle, bumblebee yellow with a smattering of polka dots... If these little cocktail dresses were cast out into the wild, their warning colors could outdo any poison dart frog. Match the vibrant 80's-esque cocktail dresses with towering metallic platform peep-toes and the looks found on Adesagi's catwalk at Jakarta Fashion Week earlier this month are sure to draw in the bravest of couture-wearing devotees! http://www.los-list.com/blog/fashion-scout-adesagi-kierana/feed/ 12 http://www.los-list.com/blog/fashion-scout-dian-pelangi/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/fashion-scout-dian-pelangi/#comments Tue, 01 Dec 2009 23:12:44 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=1511

Talk about knowing your history! This 18-year-old Southern Sumatran designer is hell-bent on proving that hijabs, abayas, and jilbabs can hold a perfectly stylish place in any modern Muslim woman's wardrobe. Born into a family of traditional textile weavers and dyers, it's easy to see the layers of technique in Dian's effervescent collection shown here at Jakarta Fashion Week earlier this month. Jumputan Palembang dying methods (that's tie dye folks) are used on traditional harem pants and not-so-traditional skinny jeans, gold- and silver-threaded songket brocade for opulent head scarves... http://www.los-list.com/blog/fashion-scout-dian-pelangi/feed/ 11 http://www.los-list.com/blog/fashion-scout-oka-diputra/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/fashion-scout-oka-diputra/#comments Tue, 01 Dec 2009 23:03:06 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=1505

''Fashion is my revenge. Being the youngest of five siblings meant that in my younger years I was subjected to wearing my brother and sisters' hand-me-downs. Fed up with getting old clothes all the time, I deconstructed the out of date shirts and pants to make outfits that were more to my liking.'' - www.OkaDiputra.com http://www.los-list.com/blog/fashion-scout-oka-diputra/feed/ 8 http://www.los-list.com/blog/fashion-scout-lenny-agustin/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/fashion-scout-lenny-agustin/#comments Tue, 01 Dec 2009 22:51:36 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=1495

Oh if only the Super Mario crew could see this! It's as if an entire collection was built with a grown-up Toadette as it's muse. All kidding aside, when you take a closer look at Lenny Agustin's latest collection presented at Jakarta Fashion Week last month, you'll notice extraordinary pleating and expertise embroidery affirming the designer's Indonesian artisan roots... http://www.los-list.com/blog/fashion-scout-lenny-agustin/feed/ 7 http://www.los-list.com/blog/jakarta-fashion-week-priyo-oktaviano/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/jakarta-fashion-week-priyo-oktaviano/#comments Tue, 01 Dec 2009 22:41:26 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=1483

Ok, so, the shoulder pads are a bit... rugged. But hunchback-chic aside, the very hipster ensembles in Priyo Oktaviano's portion of the Fashion 1st Show at Jakarta Fashion Week represent a comfy-looking hodgepodge of loose cotton layers, subtle clashes of color (ie. salmon and red), and traditional Ikat dyeing techniques. One of three collections that Priyo featured during the week, these garments are part of his casual wear line, SPOUS (est. 2003), an acronym for his full name: Stefanus Priyo Oktaviano Umar Slamet. Loving the Ikat-print harem pants and pale pink beaded necklace... http://www.los-list.com/blog/jakarta-fashion-week-priyo-oktaviano/feed/ 47 http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-10-eco-friendlies/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-10-eco-friendlies/#comments Sat, 28 Nov 2009 01:50:55 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=1171
