Song of the Day: "Dans Ma Rue"

I always spend my weekend with loads of DVDs.

Last weekend I drowned my mind in "La Vie en Rose", a 2007 movie starred by Marion Cotillard.

The movie was made based on real-life story of Edith Piaf, a diva in classic French era. 

My ears feel like missing Piaf's voice, then I went to YouTube to search for her songs.

But then, I've found this.

A video of a French singer named Zaz.

At first I thought Zaz is the name of the band, since she performs with two guys.

But Zaz is Isabelle Geffroy, a French lady who plays jazz and chanson tracks.

I was so in love with her voice at very first time I heard her.

Her voice is completely sexy and I just can't stop to listen to it over and over again.

Ichwan Thoha, As Far As the Eyes Can See...

I've made this article for my buddy, Triyo Saputra, who seems so eagerly curious about Ichwan Thoha.

Here are the snapshots from Canteen Style event, where he collaborates with Ririn Rinura; Christmas Show in Plaza Senayan, the show was held exactly on holiday, so people might wear the collection on the next Christmas; and at last, X2 Runway Festival, the first and only fashion week that took place in a night club.

Without further due, here it is, Ichwan Thoha!

P.S: Let me tell you. I've tired of seeing mas-mas in hotpants. *sigh*

Yaaay! Finally, ladies outfits!

"Terre de Brume" by Jenahara Nasution in Indonesia Fashion Week 2012

Terre de Brume or "dusty ground" is the latest collection by Jenahara Nasution that was shown on the first day of Indonesia Fashion Week 2012. 

It was dominated by the darkness in black, grey and off white.

The colors represents the sadness of seeing the world in chaos and untreated nature.

FYI, when the first dress came out, I suddenly hummed Maddona's 1998 hits, Frozen.

Song of the Day: Shape of My Heart - Rise and Fall (Mashed Up)

I love mashed up songs.

It feels like listening to cover version songs, but still sang by its own singer.

Today I found a mashed up song that catches my ear from the moment I listen to it.

This is the fuse of "Shape" by Sugababes and "Rise and Fall" by Craig David.

Both songs took the inspiration from Sting's 1993 hits, "Shape of My Heart".

You can find the common from the guitar part of the song.

Sting's voice also heard from both songs.

Anyway, don't ask me how many times I play this song today.

I've got addicted to it.

Kaisara by Faradina in Indonesia Fashion Week 2012

She used to design moslem-wears for Kaisara, but now she's back with a new collection that could be use by every women.

Maxi dresses and soft colors like green and tangerine, dominated the show with the touch of floral and leaves.

Faradina use some boleros and cropped blazer to combine with maxi dresses.

Asymmetric lines that used in this collection creates a different ambiance which put the edgy side within the softness of a lady.

Deden Siswanto in Indonesia Fashion Week 2012

I can still remember how the models walked so fast.

The light was low, so we can just adored them behind the layers of darkness.

But it doesn't decrease the scent of mystical ambiance that I truly enjoyed from the whole show.

Deden represents the classical era of old Indonesia,

the transforming phase of the old dynasties that collaborated into a whole nation to fight out the invaders.

This is the marriage between colonial era and modernity with the twist of intense choreography.

I wish I wasn't at the photographer zone and shouldn't capture the whole thing.

I wanna enjoy the show with my naked eyes,

because this is the most enjoyable show in Indonesia Fashion Week 2012.

Well done, Deden.

P.S: Sorry for the bad lighting. I've told you, it was dark.
