Mungkin ada yang bertanya-tanya, Dita posting apa sih itu dari kemarin, pakai bahasa Inggris pula. Jadi seperti yang sudah di tulis di postingan yang ini, selama 4 hari 3 malam, saya berkesempatan menyaksikan Asia Fashion Exchange di Singapore.
Apa itu Asia Fashion Exchange?
The Asia Fashion Exchange (AFX) is a joint private and public sector initiative involving the Textile and Fashion Federation of Singapore (TaFf) *Eh, di Indonesia ada Federasi Tekstil dan Fashion nya juga gak sih?* and Mercury Marketing and Communications; together with three Singapore government agencies, International Enterprise (IE) Singapore, Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and SPRING Singapore (SPRING).

Friday, 18 May 2012, at Audi Fashion Festival 2012, Future Fashion Now featuring Jonathan Simkhai (New York), Saena (Berlin), Juma (Toronto) Pre-Spring ’13.
Masih melanjutkan postingan sebelumnya di #AFX2012, pada hari Jumat 18 Mei di Audi Fashion Festival, masih ada Fashion Show Future Fashion Now di Tent @ Orchard pukul 8 malam waktu setempat. Sehari itu terdapat lima fashion show berbeda sejak pukul 2 siang. Tiga disainer yang akan memamerkan karyanya di Show kali ini berasal dari luar Singapura. Siapa sajakah mereka?
Jonathan Simkhai
Simkhai is a New York born and raised fashion designer. His love affair with fashion began at early age of 14 when he started working at clothing store assisting and honing his skills as a buyer. He later went on to study at Parsons as well as at FIT (fullname).
With the launch of the first womenswear collection under his name, Jonathan Simkhai presents his take on sophisticated dressing for modern, cosmopolitan woman. As gender lines blur whitin the realms of fashion and sexuality, Simkhai’s collection indulges in this ambiguity. Charged by men’s fashion mores and taking inspiration from beautiful Italian and Japanese fabrics like cashmere, wool, cotton and silk, Simkhai collection brings forth classic codes translated into sexy and feminine silhouettes.

Thursday, 17 May 2012, at Audi Fashion Festival 2012, Future Fashion Now featuring Timo Weiland (New York), Yeojin Bae (Australia), Eshter Perbandt (Berlin) Pre-Spring ’13, Present by Canon.
Jadi seperti yang telah dijelaskan di postingan sebelum ini, saya berkesempatan menyaksikan #AFX2012 langsung di Singapore. Salah satu Fashion Show yang ada di Audi Fashion Festival yang terletak di Tent @ Orchard ada Show dari Future Fashion Now. Show pertama terdapat di tangggal 17 Mei pukul 6 sore waktu setempat dan terdapat 3 disainer muda yang memamerkan karya nya. Seperti apa show nya?
Timo Weiland Pre-Spring’ 13
After brief internships in the fashion industry, designers Timo Weiland from New York and Alan Eckstein met and quickly develop a compelling dialogue, which ultimately led to a design partnership. Their mutual interst in European history, travel and a flair for dapper dressing promoted an engaging creative exchange. Timo is also in the CFDA Fashion Incubator Programme.
The Timo Weiland collection reflects their personal aesthetic sensibilities and broader desire to spur a return to the art of dressing.

Oke, seperti yang ditulis di postingan sebelumnya, Minggu ini sejak tanggal 14 Mei 2012 hingga tanggal 20 nanti di Singapore sedang berlangsung suatu pagelaran Fashion yang besar dan sangat saya nanti-nanti. Thanks to AFX dan xinmsn, Dita mendapatkan kesempatan untuk menyaksikan langsung megahnya dan serunya rangkaian acara Asia Fashion Exchange langsung di Singapore dari tanggal 16-19 Mei ini.
#Cerita tentang perjalanan akan diceritakan di lain postingan.
Setibanya di Singapore dan check-in di Swissotel Stamford, dengan waktu yang sangat mepet, syukurlah the Main event of the day, yaitu Opening Show Audi Fashion Festival, masih keburu untuk disaksikan. Datang dengan sangat telat, tapi ternyata fashion shownya pun fashionably late. Hingga pukul 7:30 waktu setempat, pintu belum juga di buka, padahal jam pada undangan tertera show dimulai jam 7 malam. Ketika akhirnya pintu dibuka jam 8, suasana sangat riuh tapi sekaligus menggairahkan. Gak ada yang bisa menggantikan sensasi menyaksikan sebuah fashion show secara langsung. And this make me promise to myself that I HAVE TO COME to AFF 2013!
