Day 1: NYFW S/S 18 | Indonesian Diversity

Photos by: Armandhugon

Thursday was the official first day of NYFW! I wanted to do something different with my look. As always, all those planned outfits I do at home before leaving always end up being mixed and matched once I'm in NY. I guess my mood changes and I just start going with the flow instead of sticking to the plan. Does that happen to you guys?

I originally packed this top from Rainbow in my suitcase with printed pants but I changed it last minute of course. I've had this top in my closet since last month and I knew I wanted to wear it for NYFW. The ruffles, the neckline, and the color had me smitten. Ruffles are my favorite and they are such a big trend. I definitely saw a lot of ruffles on the runway so that trend is not going away for a while. I paired it with a pinstripe skirt and my everyday black booties for NYFW. These booties went with every look and were walkable from show to show. #BloggerApproved

The Show

Indonesian Diversity was a packed show. It was a mix of five amazing Indonesian designers who got to show off their luxury ready-to-wear designs to a full house. There were so many stunning looks and amazing designs with a nice touch of culture. All of the designers accessorized their collection with handbags by another talented Indonesian designer, Doris Dorthea. Every handbag was stunning and I wish I had it in my Kloset!

Dian Pelangi

This was such a bold collection filled with bright colors and lots of prints. You can say it brought a little color to New York City.

Barli Asmara

This collection showcased a lot of gorgeous gowns that incorporated white lace. They were lots of layered pieces and I especially loved the cold shoulder designs.

Melia Wijaya

This was one of my favorite collections. The earthy tones and over the top head pieces were amazing to see. Fashion week is all about "over the top" and this collection did that for me.

Catherine Njoo

I'm all about a gold and black palette! This collection also had eye catching head pieces. The best one was at the end, with a jaw-dropping egg-shaped gold head piece that opened and closed down the runway.

Vivi Zubedi

 This designer really touched me. When I did some research on her I loved her views on the world. She believes in a world of equality between cultures and I loved that she incorporated that into her collection. She made a bold political statement with messages on her pieces like "All Colors Matter". 

Hope you guys are following my NYFW madness on Instagram.
