As some of you remember we have showcases the collection of talented Hian Tjen, Indonesian based designer. I was an absolute pleasure to meet him and his business partner Henry for lunch in their beautiful office in Jakarta.

After years of his amazing masterpieces and last unforgettable show at Arab Fashion Week 2022, Hian Tjen came back and presented his next collection at the catwalk with a theme called “Dare to be bold” in the Harper’s Bazaar Fashion Festival.

Like the name of the theme, this show was be a very special one where Hian Tjen prepared and designed a full collection of striking and unexpected work of art for the runway yet still embracing his signature style of simple lines elegance, modern architectural, clean femininity, with a twist of drama.

Hian Tjen incorporated 2 words that describe “Lithe” collection, which are lit that is defined as bright; radiating and lithe itself means elegant; supple; graceful.

In Lithe, Hian Tjen is focusing on one specific color named Chartreuse that will be represented in numerous different looks. Chartreuse is a color that is in between yellow and green forming into a neon yellow, which symbolizes enthusiasm, happiness, growth and youth.

The collection consists of 12 works of couture representing magnificent design style that shows grace and elegance, focusing on drapery and corsetry skillfully done to capture women’s beautiful silhouette as well as high quality craftmanship, such as beadings with eccentric materials.
