T
o mark his 30-year fashion journey, celebrated designer Didi Budiardjo aims to bring the fear and fairy tale of romance to the runway.
For prominent designer Didi Budiardjo, it is the enigmatic quality of love that fascinates him the most.
"I believe love is not complete without the presence of other feelings,” he told The Jakarta Post at his studio in South Jakarta.
“Love comes with its darker side like a broken heart, jealousy and much more. Love is a complex thing.”
The beauty and pain of falling in love is the main inspiration for Terlahir Kembali (Reborn), a fashion show to mark Didi’s 30 years in the fashion industry.
At the show taking place at the Tribrata in Darmawangsa, South Jakarta, on Tuesday, Didi will showcase his forte of creating refined and chic evening dresses.
“[The title] comes from my contemplation on what I have done in the last 30 years," Didi said, adding that Terlahir Kembali is his first show that uses an Indonesian title.
