brightspot market 2011

I'm back in Jakarta, my lovely hometown, just in time for the annual brightspot market. Held in Plaza Senayan this year, everything gets bigger and better. More space and even more talented local young designers. I can feel the creativity in the air as I step inside the hall area.

Amongst the many labels and stores that participated, including Santalum, Satcas, Mannequin plastic, Kandura ceramics, Unkl347,  HGLhouse, Jansport, etc. But one of my most anticipated brand is Nikicio. A friend of mine, Sasha just told me about her about a month ago and I fell in love completely, especially because she released an awesome fashion film for one of her collection. And most of her clothes looked even better in person (as I have only seen it via the website).

The acrylic black clutch, transparent skateboard deck, and the organza blazer by Nikicio (sorry, I forgot to take the pic) was still running through my head even when I was already on my way home. I know, I should've bought some of them first. However, since I'm still saving up my money for something else, I'll probably buy them later, I hope sometime soon :) But to cheer up myself, I bought this cool blue skull ring from greedysassy

Overall, today had been beyond awesome. I was very inspired by the talents that was evident at the brighspot market. Reassuring me how much I (and should've been for a long time) love and feel proud of my beloved country, Indonesia. In addition, I also met Arto, Karina, and Adrian; friends of mine from high school while shopping there.

So, I hope you guys had a fantastic weekend as well :)
