Q: What was the moment you realized that fashion was your true calling?A: I realized that fashion was my true calling at a very young age. Even as a child, I always knew this was the path I wanted to pursue.Q: How has living in Bali influenced your creative process and approach to fashion?A: Having worked all over the world, I desired to live on a tropical island while continuing my work in fashion. Bali is a creative playground for designers and creatives, offering an abundance of natural beauty%u2014from black sand to white sand beaches, waterfalls, mountains, volcanoes, and arid landscapes. This diverse environment has deeply influenced my creative process, allowing me to draw inspiration from the natural world.Q: Who have been your biggest influences in fashion throughout your 20-year career?A: John Galliano has been a significant influence for his ability to create muses and tell stories rooted in history, culture, and fashion through his collections. Saint Laurent%u2019s runways are another source of inspiration, always set in incredible locations and characterized by their mood, styling, and model movement. Isabel Marant also inspires me with her ranges that blend street style, Parisian chic, and timeless elegance.Q: What inspires you when conceptualizing a new fashion campaign?A: When conceptualizing a new campaign, I first explore the emotions conveyed by the collection and work to express these through a muse and their interaction with the world. My ideas are built on locations, the spirit behind the concept, and how this interacts with movement. I then focus on capturing this story through photography, film, and runway presentations.Photographer @viviansunggFashion stylist @maycortazziHair & make up @taniatraversmuaModel @milenascheller @lovebalistarzLocation @baliartsdistrictFeaturing @gelarehdesigns @padmala.atelierPhotographer @viviansunggFashion stylist @maycortazziHair & make up @taniatraversmuaModel @milenascheller @lovebalistarzLocation @baliartsdistrictF e at u r i n g @ g e l a r e h d e s i g n s @padmala.atelierMOST MAGAZINE - ISSUE 57 23
