Sebastian Gunawan on Professionalism

For Sebastian Gunawan, potential alone is not enough to make one an achiever. Professionalism is one of the prerequisites in running a fashion business.

No sooner had he entered the fashion world in 1993 when Sebastian Gunawan captured public attention. His reputation as a fashion designer has become solid thanks to his great potential and high sense of professionalism. No wonder that in just 13 years, he has joined the ranks of top Indonesian designers. In addition, he has always taken part in international fashion events. He has won, among other honors, a citation from IAF Young World Designer Award XX in Barcelona, Spain.

""In developing our potential, the first thing to do is to really know what to do and whither to move! Never pretend that you know something inside-out and never allow yourself to know only half of something because if this is the case, then you will only end up confused. So, always do something seriously, wholeheartedly and conceptually,"" said Sebastian, who was born in Jakarta on July 2, 1967.
