What
is West and what is East, designer Biyan Wanaatmadja once
asked.
""Everybody
has different strengths and sensitivity. Why is it that Western designers can
create something Asian but not vice versa? We all wear the same kind of clothes
daily,"" he said.
Therefore,
if the latest collection of designer Sebastian Gunawan
accentuates a Spanish and Bohemian spirit rather than batik, for example, why
not? At
least local customers can pursue clothes with such style that is more
affordable than Dior's, for instance.
