Well, if you paid bit attention to my twitter TL or FB page (
or maybe, a small round black image on the right tab of this blog), you might see lots of posts about this one event I'm currently working on. Yupness, I started this with 6 other friends in October (
can't recall the exact date) and right now there are more than
80 people plus many volunteers standing beside us, taking care together of our precious baby girl namely
UI Fashion Week.
Under the tagline "
United Integrated : Nation of Creation", we're aiming to unite all fashion interests in UI, arrange an event to gather up UI studentpreneurs, young newbie creativepreneurs all over this country, and also major well-known names in local fashion zone. Not only to give you nonstop shows that gonna make you ga-ga-gasp, our main goal is to
endorse everyone who has passion for fashion but doesn't have the guts to take it more seriously as money-making machine. Fashion is a creative industry that never runs out of idea, and we would like to show you that with passion and strong vision,
anyone can be a fashion sensation (
it rhymes, yaayyy #flatface).
Until now I still can believe we've made it
THIS far. Soooo excited slash proud slash happy
I can't help not to share it out loud. Lots of big names have agreed to join our main event. Let me make it bold, it's
A LOT, and
BIG. So far we've got deals with several rookie designers and labels, and also Nikicio, Barli Asmara, Ichwan Thoha, Batik 118 by Dee Ong, Danjyo Hiyoji, Klé, Monday To Sunday, Dian Pelangi, Zevin Shoes, École (
you might've seen them on SOGO counters all over the city), Trax FM, Hard Rock FM, Cita Cinta, Grazia, Looks Magazine, Geeks Bible, Kaskus.us, MyTipsCantik.com, Mustika Ratu, Mesty Ariotedjo, Dian Sastro, Maudy Koesnaedi, Timnas U-23, Lookbooker Jakarta, and you know what sounds better than all those?
We're still counting for more names! Gigantic yay to the ness!
'Course I can't make it without this amazing team.
Without any intention of being solemnly humble or what, I'm nothing without their hard works. My contribution doesn't equal theirs, in any ways. Seriously, I won't be typing this post if I hadn't met them at the first place.
First of all, thanks to
6 other founders of this baby girl :
Raldiano Fawzi, Argi Wibawa, Annisa Sylvia, Kya Fiddinie, Kartika Febrianty, Mustika Utami. I'm so thankful that fate has brought us together and made us come up with this brilliant radiant idea.
To my Creative Directors,
Nindia Satiman and
Raldiano Fawzi, for working so hard, going here and there, arranging dozens of meetings and dealings, keeping in touch with other crews, and other good deeds I can't mention them all. Feel so much like hugging you both right now.

To the folks that I haven't mentioned, it's not that I didn't acknowledge your work, I swear for God's sake. Each one of you is precious. I just can't manage to remember all full names of around 80 people, honestly dude.
It's not me showing off or bluffing up. It's simply me being too excited and too happy working with you guys, achieving this much. Let's grab
MORE, we still have like 3 months to make it be-be-bigger.

An out-of-topic intermezzo. I'm currently listening to
Amsterdots by Afrojack feat The Partysquad, over and over. And also the whole tracks from
Friendly Fires' albums,
Friendly Fires (
self titled) and
Pala. Give em a shot people,
these dudes really deserve a place on your iPod playlist.
