After my graduation from LaSalle College Jakarta in 2013, I've been busy developing my brand, Dena by Anindita. But then I realise there are some other things I need to learn. In LaSalle I've already learnt many things, but when I tried to make a custom party dresses orders there always a problem occur.
Then I decided to search another place to study how to make a good party dress. The answer came on August 2014. I saw from Instagram, one of the famous Indonesian designer, Hengki Kawilarang open fashion courses that will start on September 2014. I met him, Hengki Kawilarang, one year ago when we were in Brunei for ASEAN Consumer Fair 2013. My booth location was right next to his booth. I'm really nervous the first time I saw him because what he already achieved at that time is huge, he became Indonesian artists favourite. His works are really remarkable, you can google it yourself his name to know more about his works. But despite his achievement he is really a humble person. Long story short, I decided to take HK Fashion Course.
What I took is Advance Haute Couture Program, because I have already had one year study in LaSalle so I didn't need to take Basic Haute Couture Program first. Both programs only for 2 months, twice a week. At first I have a little doubt because seems like impossible only in 2 months to learn making a Haute Couture dress/gown.
But now I realise that I'm wrong, totally wrong. After 1 month, I already know well how to make a good clothes, I know how to make clothes that I see on Fashion TV, on magazine, etc. Not only ordinary clothes, party dresses, I can make a wedding gown(!). 1 month left and I know there are many excitements ahead.
