JAKARTA, Nov 16, 2009 / FW/ — Unveiling a collection entitled Autor du monde en huit tennues (Around the world with 8 outfits), Oka Diputra must be thinking of the extra luggage fees that airlines are now charging, as he proposed that even the jet-set travel light with only 8 outfits.
With that tongue-in-cheek advice and boasting that” each piece can be worn at least 3 different ways to accommodate any event,” Diputra actually has a point. Women can pack light and still look stylish.
But, then, the jet-set seldom travel light because nowadays, the term jet-set usually refer to those who fly via private jets.
Oka Diputra studied graphic design at Udayana University in Bali before he pursued fashion. It has been 15 years since then. Today, he owns 3 boutiques and exports his creations to Spain, Italy and Belgium.
The native Balinese prefers simplicity to extravagance, using minimal ornamentation and choosing instead to focus on silhouette and volume. He also prefers knots and refrains from using conventional fasteners such as zippers and buttons.
