for astrid 'badai pasti berlalu' 2007





my dear friend ratna, wanted to do this side job together in between our very busy daily job [as a visual merchandiser at some departement store in jakarta].
it was around february 2007 i guess, when the movie 'badai pasti berlalu' launched, along with the soundtrack. they also held a concert for it. one of the singer is astrid, one of indonesia's young rising star. the manager asked us to do her wardrobe for the concert. so the story goes.
me and ratna was full with marie antoinette at that time [by sofia copolla]. can't you just tell it from the sketches? hehe. that's all that we can get. we want it to look dramatic. yes we're such a drama queen :P
why no colors? we submit the fabric first, because it's just risky.
the chosen one is the one on the top. then it starts: the fabric hunting, the tailor-man chasing [more like killing. deadline that is], fitting, running here and there for buttons and threads, traffic jam [it's jakarta!] and sleepless night.
the worst thing is i don't have the pic. i have to chase the manager down for it :D !! i missed the concert, and ratna was going to move to london.
but hey, it's almost 2 years ago. it felt like yesterday.
