This is an inspiring story of strength, desire, suffering, pride, respect, friendship, endurance, love and reputation, which leads me to this designer, Aurelia Santoso. The Aurelia name could belong to an exotic flower, a mystical and theatrical prose. It can also be interpreted as "golden", but one could imagine such a name as the main character in one of the finest Shakespeare or a Greek mythology.
I met Aurelia its studios in Kuningan. It is light, delicate, strong and beautiful elegance; a "Steel Magnolia". Aurelia's love of all things fashion started early. When as an ankle-biter, his father remembers that she began to draw and express what she would one day become his vocation, a great designer. She drew her inspiration for the two collections of his love of fishing with his father, the novel The Old Man and the Sea , the ocean and the 1920 science fiction metropolis. Reading the book and watch the movie, its interpretation of both in his creations is apparent. It will be a force to be reckoned with. Everything is in your blood that you see; her grandmother made wedding dresses in a small studio, where you could say that informal learning Aurelia began. Grandmother fed his design skills and is now retired, but quietly proud.
Aurelia artistic journey took the bridal studio in the City of Angels Otis School of Art & Design, interned with print Queen Mary Katrantzou, while Raffles Design Institute Singapore and full circle back to Jakarta . She cites her influences as movies, new and old, old books - (English) classic - places and people. The ocean holds magic and sentimental value for her too; its vastness transmits a world of limits under which the imagination can flow with unimaginable infinity spectacular results.
The diffusion collection Laïson ready-to-wear is still crazy smooth. A green wool crepe strapless catsuit is chic, Man Ray-esque with a dash of male sexuality thrown Think 1920's actress Louise Brooks. it would have looked just fabulous in this area. Team yours with a fedora and a setback as wide as the Gulf of Mexico! Stride with pride and absorb admiring glances. Mine is on order.
The black tuxedo is cheeky as it is enticing, a thief scene with a peek-a-boo slit cut in the back. Wrist shot with red satin lining gives some whatever . Shorts and corsets printed with fish and ocean scenes is simply glorious high sea. Skirts and tops satins get treatment ocean too! silk long shirts printed that can double as dresses are versatile cool. Skirts are given a modern twist by intelligent overlay. long skirts in chiffon are whimsical yet chic. The cropped top is elegant, not the projection of a belly because of a further style, just a glance at the sides, bottom rear allusion to some skin, with glorious flamboyant yards muslin to tie as you like! That is something for everyone.
The Couture collection, Aurelia Santoso, is a sophisticated, beautifully designed mail system. With this, Aurelia enthused that "let his imagination run wild, no borders" It has elements of a futuristic world. Think Metropolis meets Blade Runner, High Society meeting and it works damn good

It is bondage elegance and subtly seductive. the folded peplum and long skirt give this feeling of scanning the character of Grace Kelly in high Society top and skirt black satin silk cries vampish woman fatal siren display;. his belt red leather is expertly woven and twisted Team with long black gloves and Christian Louboutin Pigalle 120. boom, there you go!white 'quilted' double peplum jacket low-cut skirt off and is just beautiful, slip in to your evening. the bustier set with chainmail shawl is awesome futuristic kick-ass baby. This outfit does not take prisoners.
I'll not spoil for you. Go take a look and be surprised. You will pass, but it will be worth every penny damn hard earned and you can have the collector's item on your hands.
So you see, the people of what I like to call 'The Jaks', the novel not only inspired Aurelia but the qualities he depicts - strength, will, skill and admirable reputation - are all present in both Aurelia and its collections. The beauty and vastness of the ocean she loves is interpreted in his engravings and as the old man Santiago and Manolin, Aurelia and his father have a friendship, a bond that is the heart warmingly thoughtful and beautiful.
