twisted elegance - bridalwear 2023 portfolio
TWISTED ELEGANCE is a unique and elegant Bridal collection influenced by my home country, Indonesia, and aims to promote Indonesian cultures and heritage to reveal a modern perspective. Taking inspiration from the folklore ‘Timun Mas’ (The Golden Cucumber), a Javanese folklore telling the story of a young brave girl, this collection features the twisting of fabric to represent vines crawling onto the body (as the cucumber plant does) with pearl trim details. ‘Tenun Songket’ is chosen as the feature fabric, embellished with gold and silver threads.
