REVES X LINGULING

REVES X LINGULING

Introducing Reves Studio’s latest capsule collection, REVES X LINGULING.

Finding the right balance between professionalism and au courant may be challenging, but we are proud that our collection did exactly that. The collection itself is a modern take in traditional tailoring. With the presence and dynamic contrast of both neutral and vibrant colors, the pieces in this collection will definitely make its way to your statement piece collection.

ORIGIN STORY

In celebration of the birth of this collection, we want you to get a closer look on the woman who made all this possible.

Rosalindynata Gunawan, commonly known as “Linguling”- a name her close friends call her by, embodies perfectly what Reves admire most about woman. Professionalism, enthusiasm, friendliness and elegance sparks right out of Linguling the first time we met her. Most of us may know her through Instagram, yet it doesn’t show nearly enough of Linguling’s true beauty.

It all started through a sweet encounter of Ling sharing a common fascination of our 2017 resort collection, Tangled. From there, our affinity grew more and more until we decided a collaboration needed to happen.  Reves is all about representing women and their professions, at the same time, enclosing their self-esteem and confidence. Through our encounters over time, Ling seems like a perfect fit of what we value and portray through our brand.

ARTISTIC LADY

“Tailored, Chic, Effortless”

Born on 19^th September 1988, Linguling always had an eye for fine arts. She looked at fashion as more a fun hobby never knowing she would fell in love with it as soon as understanding the history, sociology and history behind it. Graduating as a fashion design student from RMIT Australia, her career in fashion starts to flourish. She started a brand called Bubble Girl, a take on contemporary and modern clothing for young girls to experience since adolescence. When asked about what she loves most about her job right now, she says, “Getting to design and create my own pieces is what I love most about my job.”.

ON TRAVELLING

“Be brave, do not be afraid to explore, try everything.”

Ling is quite the traveler. Is there anything quite as blissful as an amble by the seashore? None according to Ling, and we totally agree. Just from conversing with her, we can tell that she has a deep adornment for the beauty the world offers. Switzerland, rich in literal natural artistry and picturesque mountain views, best fulfills her love for everything beautiful. When asked about her bucket list, she mentions going to Bhutan and also seeing the northern lights.

ON EXERCISING

“Running is the best way to de-stress.”

There’s no doubt Ling’s lean figure is definitely body goals. Though, benevolent things don’t come so easily, not without sweating and working those muscles. Barre, Pilates, Yoga, you name it. With the amount of unique exercise activities emerging, Ling is always open to try them out.

Exercising doesn’t have be painted in such a negative light. According to Ling, she runs to destress. For 5 years, running is something Ling does for her own pleasure.

 

WHAT’S NEXT

“Just Live Today.”

Linguling is currently looking forward to her honeymoon trip to Europe. We wish her all the best in life and may the years ahead be filled with lasting joy.

For readers who are living their lives vicariously through Ling’s, don’t worry. We recommend watching Criminal Minds on Netflix and also running to de-stress, just like how she does it! A little piece of advice from Ling herself, “Don’t worry about tomorrow, just live today.”

Vogue’s TrailBlazing Cover

It is hard to deny that accusations of racism is present in the fashion world when diversity is a rare sight in magazine covers and runways. One definition of fashion design is “the art of the application of design and aesthetic or natural beauty to clothing and accessories”, sadly not a lot of woman can identify with the definition of this supposed natural beauty. For decades, inclusion in the industry seems to only welcome woman of certain shape, size and color, and there has been comments that the industry is “white washed”.

Fortunately, Edward Enninful, Vogue’s editor in chief is ready to start a movement of change represented in the newest trailblazing Vogue cover.

Featuring 9 women of all colors shape and background, this inspirational cover stands as a representation of what Vogue stands to believe in 2018. Along with Radhika Nair, Yoon Young Bae, Faretta, Fran Summers, Vittoria Ceretti, Paloma Elsesser and Selena Forrest,

This opens up a gateway for many brilliant voices to be heard, taking down barriers of the traditional definition of glamour and style. Quoting from Edward Enninful, “Yet as a new mood begins to take hold – one that will only enrich and enliven creativity in fashion – I also believe that the time has come for us to look forward. In short, it is a moment for Vogue to do what it has always done best: to offer a bold vision of what the future can – and should – look like.”

Halima Aden, born in a refugee camp in Somalia is one of the beautiful faces featured in the cover. Her story inspires millions as she is a an authentic representation of how the fashion industry is evolving. When asked about the modification of diversity, Halima Aden told Huffington post UK that “Everybody comes from different cultures and races. There’s something beautiful when it’s a blended runway.”.

The shoot was a great success, seeing all the different race and backgrounds intertwining in one cover for the same purpose – climbing over the pre-altered definition of beauty. Despite the differences they bear, the similar value and integrity they share is what the world desperately needs right now.

Awe-Inspiring Set Designs from Paris Fashion Week

If the clothes are paintings, the runway set is the canvas that completes the storytelling the designer wants to express. Sometimes a plain white runway and pumping music is not enough to set the scene to send the right message across the audience. During the Paris Fashion Week we have witnessed several set designs in iconic Paris venues that brings us in for a journey including one trip to space.

Another day, another out-of-this-world set by Chanel. By putting a 35m high rocket in the center of the set, the iconic Grand Palais was transformed into No. 5 Launch Pad. The rocket to the perfect backdrop to the intergalactic inspired collection actually blasted off for the finale accompanied by Elton John’s Rocket Man.

Dry brown leaves on the floor and deciduous plants converted Palais de Tokyo into the mystical autumnal set for the Off White show. The smoke effect added an ethereal ambiance to the show.
