Spring Summer 2012 - CALLA

Spring is about gaining inspiration from nature: the scent, the breeze, the sound of curlews, the combination of buds and blooms and the exit from gloomy winter into the season of colors. The collection was drawn to and inspired by Lily, particularly the Calla Species, for its forms and symbolic value.

The ancient Greeks dedicated the lily to Hera, the wife of Zeus. Calla Lily symbolizes rebirth and resurrection which are taken in Kaligula Spring Summer 2012 collection to represent the mixture of dark and light colors.

It is bold, daring and refreshing. I hope people appreciate it as much as i love making it. Lots of love to my precious babies.... xoxo

My Best Friend Wedding

June 2011

Finally, my friend Court is getting married. I can't believe my sexy, crazy, wild girl is finally ready to settle down with a Portuguese guy name Alex. A guy that she met while traveling in Bali. Wow...

I must say it was the most romantic, intimate and beautiful wedding that i ever attended. Only family and close friends from both side. The ceremony was held at Villa Balquisse Jimbaran. The blessing ceremony was in the garden that have been decorated with dangling cloth and colorful umbrellas. It was a beautiful setting. After that, all the guests were led to the beach for group photo. We stayed there until sunset. Drinking champagne, have a small chat and they held a release of doves. I thought it was pretty funny.

We went back to the villa after sunset and seen a balinese dance performance in a garden. The night went on. We had dinner, wedding cake cut ceremony, bouquet throwing [of course i didnt't get one :)], soju drinking. I had a fabulous time in a wedding which is so rare. Here are some photos that i love to share.

Blueprint Singapore 2011

Blueprint was held on the 19th and 20th of May 2011 at Marina Bay Exhibition Hall Singapore. Followed by Emporium on the 21st and 22nd of May 2011. It was a nice experience but tiring and of course causing a mood swing. Thank God it is over. Fingers cross for the follow up.

Kaligula Booth for Blue Print

Update March 2011

I haven't updated my blog for a while. Life have been busy with deadline. It's not easy sometimes but i think i manage quite well.

I have been so lucky to be able to design bags and shoes for Sales Promotion Girl uniform. I design and produce for several cigarette company and food company. Yup... that is my latest project. I must say i really enjoy it but it is a little handful.

I also have some project with Ratimaya. It is an online shopping that sells Indonesian Fashion. The concept is quite interesting and i really hope is going to be well received by the people.

The recent project that takes most of my time is Blue Print. Yup.... Kaligula is one of the eighth designer that have been chosen to have a showcase in Singapore for Blue Print. You can read the article at http://www.redandwhitemagz.co.cc/2011/03/indonesian-designers-at-asia-fashion.html

Well... that is the highlight of major things that i do lately. I will keep it posted if there is something excited to tell.

Kaligula in JFW2010

I know it is a little too late but i just think that i have to post some of the picture from my show. I was a little nervous and trip when i was about to walk into the runway. I was hoping not so many people notice it. Apart from that little accident, the show was going well and we all had so much fun. My model was awesome.
