I was lucky to obtain a press pass to Jakarta Fashion Week held at Pacific Place this week and headed over to check-out the creative styles of local designers such as Dian Pelangi, Hannie Hananto and Irna Mutiara. These women specialize in “Islamic Fashion”–a genre of clothing and style I knew very little about until I moved here. The show was gorgeous and the designs more intricate, bold and overall breathtaking than I’ve ever seen at a fashion show. More to come on this unique genre.
