Lime Crime

Girls, do you wear make up?

Me, almost not wearing any. I only love wearing lipstick. And I mean: bold, daring color lipstick. Personally I love matte liquid lip stain, just because I have this full pouty lips and wearing glossy lipstick just makes it look fuller and me no likey :D

I am a fanatic fan of this one special brand: Lime Crime and only wearing their Velvetines series. Later on I could wear their other series like Perlees, Unicorn or those glittery stuffs! And their colorful website of course attracted me soo damn much.

Lots of love and hate for this brand regarding their (said to be) harmful material, how they're accused to hijack their customer's credit card, to their very rude and snobby owner, founder and CEO: Doe Deere. 

Whatever happens or said and done, you can't deny that they're the pioneer of Unicorn Make-Ups. Who would've thought (or wear) black lippie? And how I've been searching for the ultimate purple lipstick and their Utopia and Pansy got me. Sadly both shades are discontinued. I've loved a legend!

Here are some of their swatched lipstick colors on different skin. 

It's undeniable how they're brave enough to reveal daring lip color that only crazy girls would wear. Then followed by other famous brands (that I'd prefer not to write it down). Who would've thought that we have those mermaid / alien / unicorn spirit in all of us? I already have 10 colors of these velvetines and never stop buying it. Will post my lippie swatches anytime sometimes :D

Meanwhile, please enjoy my sketch and mood for this competition. It is called life in mono. I use lots of black, white, grey and silver. Main Fabric is Lurik, Ikat and Songket, as the main theme of the competition. Sponsored by Cita Tenun Indonesia .

LIFE IN MONO – By Gadis Sukandar

Untuk koleksi ini saya hanya menggunakan 2 kain utama:

Songket

Lurik Jogja motif garis

Lurik: Lorek dari bahasa Jawa Kuno (Laju, Garis, belang)

Lurik dengan teknik menggunakan alat tradisional (bukan mesin). Saya memilih motif garis yang terlihat modern dan bisa bermain dengan arah garis: vertical, horizontal, asimetris. Look casual tapi menggunakan bahan kerajinan asli Indonesia, sangat mungkin untuk memasuki pasar internasional dan bersaing.

Songket

Kebanyakan berasal dari Sumatera, juga Palembang, Lampung, Riau dan banyak lagi. Tenun yang menambah benang sebagai hiasan dan bisa dirancang dengan berbagai motif. Di sample kain saya warna emas, tetapi yg sebenarnya saya pakai adalah benang warna perak, sesuai tema yang monokrom. Perak bisadimasukkan ke kategori abu-abu. Perak juga memberikan kesan mewah tanpa terlalu terlihat berlebihan.

Warna yang dipilih dominan hitam, putih dan abu-abu. Sebagai pelengkap saya menambahkan bahan pleat, katun motif kotak, dan polos (hitam, putih, abu-abu) untuk penetral. Bahan katun untuk kenyamanan, dan warna monokrom dipilah karena timeless dan bisa dipadukan dengan warna lain.

Life in Mono:

Kehidupan dalam warna monokromatik. Bahwa hitam putih abu itu punya ‘nyawa’ dan tidak membosankan. Tambahan warna saya berikan di aksesoris (kalung, gelang, tas) dan make up warna pastel. Warna monokrom itu sendiri adalah statement. Saya mencoba mengaplikasikannya untuk kehidupan sehari-hari dengan gaya yang quirky, fun dan tetap menonjolkan heritage Indonesia.

Trend monochrome sudah berlangsung beberapa tahun belakangan, tapi sepertinya masih akan terus berlangsung disisipi warna lain sebagai pelengkap. Desain ini saya buat agar generasi muda mau memakai kain kebanggaan Indonesia yang tidak selalu batik. Lebih Pop dan wearable.

Tujuan Mengikuti NYPD 2016:

Saya ingin ikut berpartisipasi dalam JFFF bersama peserta lain. Ingin membuat koleksi (design) yang kompetitif, dan tentunya ingin mempelajari tenun lebih dalam dari ahlinya. Saya pun ingin terlibat dalam kemajuan industri fashion Indonesia terutama dalam penggunaan kain tradisional dan Ready-to-Wear.

Well that's my speech for the Semi Final Presentation :D Below are my mood for theme, accessories, shoes, bag and make up.

And these are my 6 sketch. 3 of them will be made for fashion show.
