Fashionistas take
your seats
 There
are definitely two sides to the Fashion industry. One
being the beeewtiful, flamboyantly artistic side - full
of glamour, butterfly kisses and opening nights.
The other, the nuts and bolts industrial side of making
patterns, cutting fabric, sweating it out making garments
and basically, taking risks in business. The Bali Fashion
Week tries to gel these two aspects together and almost
does successfully.
One of the things we noticed last week was the lack of
the Rockin’ Fashionista types that can be seen hanging
at the best parties, taking advantage of every situation
for their own betterment while being ever so fashionable.
Where were they?
BFW should be careful not to ostracize the show element
of Fashion in favour of the nuts and bolts end of the
game.
It’s good and noble to help the industry and fashion
business in growing further but they still have to keep
the razzmatazz of the show to keep the punters coming.
Next time it could be better having the best designers
hand picked for the shows and leave it at that. However,
it’s always fun seeing the shows and let’s
hope that next year it will be bigger and better and with
the right time and organization we’re sure it will
be getting ever stronger in the future. SS

Bali
Fashion Week this year showed that it has become more than
just a creative forum for designers but also a major fashion
industry trade show for the whole of Indonesia. With over
fifty participants in the exhibition hall displaying their
products and services the objective now appears to be focusing
on the attraction of business on a grander scale. Simply
getting a few orders for the designers presenting their
collections on the catwalk is now only part of the story.
