THE DESIGN CONCEPT

"Memoirs of A Bygone Era" is an attempt to interpret "Reflection of Culture" through my experiences and nostalgic memories from my childhood as an Indonesian from Chinese ethnicity.

​

I have tried to capture these adventures into a contemporary casual men's wear collection where the silhouettes inspired from the 1900 colonial clothing with a twist of Chinese detailings. Furthermore, it is accentuated and accessorised by colorful hints of day to day elements such as food packaging, signage, and batik.
