Busana Toraja Juara Manhunt International 2011
Sosbud / Senin, 10 Oktober 2011 23:42 WIB
Metrotvnews.com, Jakarta: Busana ala Toraja, Sulawesi Selatan, yang dikenakan duta Indonesia, Johanica Yanuar, dalam kontes pria berbakat sejagat, Manhunt Internasional 2011 di Korea Selatan sukses menyabet predikat The Best National Costume.
"Ini prestasi yang membanggakan karena penghargaan national costume termasuk yang paling bergengsi dalam ajang tingkat dunia ini," kata Ketua Tim Indonesia (National Director) yang juga Brand Manager L-Men, Christian Widi Nugraha, di Seoul, Korsel, Senin (10/10).
Wakil Indonesia, Johanica Yanuar (26), yang berpostur tinggi 182 cm itu mengenakan busana rancangan Dynan Fariz-Jember Fashion Carnaval yang bertemakan Mystical Toraja dalam sesi Traditional Costume Parade dalam ajang Manhunt International 2011 yang malam puncak finalnya digelar di Millenium Hotel, Gangnam, Seoul, pada Senin (10/10) malam.
Busana tersebut merupakan modifikasi pakaian adat Toraja, Seppa Tallung Buku yang dilengkapi dengan sayap dan tanduk, mengesankan kebesaran dan keagungan salah satu kebudayaan Indonesia.
Christian Widi Nugraha menambahkan, pengerjaan kostum tersebut memakan waktu berminggu-minggu. "Sampai acara akan dimulai, kostum itu belum juga selesai akhirnya dikerjakan marathon selama sepekan, dan siap digunakan pada sore hari sebelum tim diberangkatkan ke Korsel," katanya.
Bahkan, Widi menambahkan, fitting pakaian dan pemotretan baru dilakukan pukul 11.00 malam sesaat sebelum tim berangkat ke Korsel. "Perjuangan belum berhenti karena di bandara sempat dipersoalkan lantaran kelebihan muatan sehingga dikenai biaya 'overweight' hingga 700 dolar AS," katanya.
Salah satu juri Manhunt Internasional 2011 yang juga perancang mode ternama, Ricky Abad, mengatakan, national costume asal Indonesia layak menjadi juara karena detail, unik, dan megah. "Desain kostum Indonesia sangat unik, detail, dan membuat pemakainya terlihat gagah. Inspirasi itu diperkaya dengan tanduk dan ekor seperti binatang," katanya.
Pada kesempatan itu, duta China Chen JianFeng, sukses menjadi juara pertama Manhunt International 2011. First runner up diraih Dominican Republic, 2nd runner up ditempati oleh Belgia, 3th runner up Vietnam, 4th runner up dari Slovak Republic. Duta Indonesia sendiri juga sukses menyabet Top 15 alias 15 besar dalam ajang internasional itu.(Ant/BEY)

Helmut Lang Explains Why He Destroyed His Entire Archive Of Clothing
by Justin Fenner | 2:18 pm, July 22nd, 2011
Helmut Lang destroyed some 6,000 pieces of his fashion archives to create a series of sculptures, and he did it with one of those big machines that people use to make mulch out of dead trees. How could someone who was so influential and so beloved by the fashion community leave it only to destroy some of the coolest things he created? The former designer talked with Hint Magazine and explained just that.
In the interview, Lang says a fire at his New York studio is what got him thinking about the idea of destroying fashion and the transience of a piece of, well, anything. Once he saw the charred remains of what had until then been his life’s work, he couldn’t help but think of the symbolism of destroying some of it himself. As we’ve reported before, that work is going on display at the Fireplace Project gallery in East Hampton, New York this weekend, in an exhibition called Make It Hard (and yes, sexual innuendo is a part of the name.) Our favorite parts of the interview, in which Lang explains how he remade his clothes into things that look a lot like birch trees and why destroying something doesn’t necessarily mean erasing it.
Was there a particular part of the archives you most wanted to destroy, and why?
In 2009 and 2010, I donated a large volume of my body of work in fashion to the most important fashion, design and contemporary art collections worldwide. After a fire in the building where our studio in New York is located, which could have destroyed the rest of the archive, and after going for months through the pieces to see in which condition they are, I slowly became intrigued by the idea of destroying it myself and using it as raw material for my art. I shredded all the pieces without remorse or preference. It was about erasing the difference of what they once stood for.
In a press release, it’s said the exhibit is an “erasing of the past.” Which area of the past are you most interested in erasing?
I’m not interested in erasing anything from my past. My past is part of my DNA. In the release, Neville doesn’t refer to erasing the past in terms of me and my work, but the past in terms of the hierarchy and the temporal meaning of the materials.
There’s a lot of speculation that the new work is a statement on the fashion industry, a rejection of its commercialism. Is it?
No, it is not.
And there you have it. Read the rest of Lang’s interview here, and if you’re in the Hamptons this weekend (you lucky devils, you), find out where you can see Lang’s exhibit here.

Getting Paid to Dress People and Make Them Feel Good
Envision getting paid to dress people and make them feel good. You work with the most talented and creative people in the industry. Your name is franchised internationally; you can find it on billboards all over subway stations.
You hang out with the world’s most stylish people; some are celebrities, some are ordinary people with discriminating tastes. More importantly, you earn a six, or even, seven-figure income annually.
While there are only 18 haute couturiers worldwide acknowledged by the Syndical Chamber of Haute Couture in Paris and only a few designers have the privilege to operate showrooms or boutiques on Manhanttan’s Seventh Avenue, you can be successful as a fashion designer regardless of where you live and whether or not you graduated from fashion school
What if you have never worn “designer” clothing before? Of course, you are stylish but you cannot afford to wear an evening dress designed by Yves St. Laurent nor a pair of jeans by Donna Karan.
You may even ask, “Can a person whose apparel collection comes from neighborhood department stores, who doesn't live in New York City and didn't go to fashion school become a fashion designer?” The answer is a definite yes.
Despite the misconception that designer clothes are very highly priced, every piece of apparel is, in fact, designed by a designer. More than 95% of fashion designers work outside the small circle of haute couturiers and international fashion houses.
A fashion designer is a creative and technical professional who designs clothing within a specific theme for a specific purpose and a specific market.
Here are some examples of what a fashion designer creates, which range from everyday clothes to precious metal jewelry in various prices, shapes and sizes:
T-shirts
Evening dresses
Jackets
Socks
Career suits
Baby outfits
Denims
Maternity clothes
Hats
Jogging clothes
Bandanas and scarves
Umbrellas
Glass bead jewelry
Shorts
Swimsuits
Beach wears
Uniforms
Shoes
There are several career paths in this field that you can choose based on your strengths and interests. You’re not restricted to become an haute couturier or to work with one.
Some of the career paths to choose from:
Creative Designer

Harry Potter Theme Park
The Harry Potter Theme Park Great!
Harry Potter theme park is finally opened for the Kids in Orlando, Florida. So, the only question is, what is going there? Let’s take a look, that The Wizarding World of Harry Potter becomes a miniature recreation of Harry Potter’s world. A whole world of possibilities has been open up.
Universal Orlando is now having thousands of visitors every day at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park. Built on the concept of J.K. Rowling’s wizard kid Harry Potter and his magician friends who go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, this theme park has various rides, souvenir shops, eateries and lovely places to hang out at. Visitors- most of whom are devoted Harry Potter fans- are gushing at the fact that the Universal Orlando Resort has remained faithful to the depiction of Hogsmead, Ollivander’s wand store, the dingy lanes and by lanes of the market place, the narrow corridors of Hogwarts castle, Headmaster Albus Dumbledor’s office, the Gryffindor common room, the Defence Against the Dark Arts class room- as shown in the film with close resemblance to their description in Rowling’s books.
Among the exciting and adventurous rides there are Dragon Challenge, Flight of the Hippogriff, and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. The Dragon Challenge ride is a combination of two roller coasters zooming at superfast speed along loopy tracks almost colliding against each other. Racing past realistic models of the dangerous dragons found in the Triwizard Tournament of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire the roller coaster ride of Dragon Challenge is truly breathtaking. The other two rides- Flight of the Hippogriff, and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey involve audio visual techniques to simulate the high speed broom stick ride or ride on the back of the magical creature Hippogriff.
After having a superb time on these rides, one can also enjoy the tidbits or snack at Three Broomsticks restaurant. Grownup fans of Harry Potter and his friends can also enjoy a mug of beer or two at the restaurant. And enthusiasts can purchase small souvenirs from the shops located in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park at Universal Orlando Resort. At Filch’s Emporium of Confiscated Goods one will find trinkets, wands, diaries and other small gifts. At Honeyduck’s one will find sweets and chocolates of the magic land—the chocolate frogs that you get here may not jump out of their boxes as it happens in the fictional world of Harry Potter but they are as delicious as they can be.
At Ollivander’s do look for the perfect magic wand for yourself. But don’t expect to change the world with the swish of the wand. After all, you are a muggle- a lay person without the gift or skill of witchcraft or wizardry. And at Owl Post post office get yourself postcards of the Harry Potter world. Although you cannot expect any pet owl to deliver your mails at the doorstep, yet at least you can share the postcards with your friends and boast that you’ve been to a magic land where Harry Potter and his magician friends live.
The stars wined and dined, now this is the time for enjoying life.
Everyone want to capture those moments. Don’t wait, Must visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Theme Park in Orlando Florida, United States.
