NELLY LIU

Nelly liu is a semi-couture label based in Jakarta selling ready-to-wear and limited edition item with hand-made details. Pre-order/ custom order available for elaborate pieces. The designer focus on the central theme of beauty which is translated into multiple sub-themes in the collection. For S/S 13 Lilith, the designer takes inspiration from the dark moon which is the second elusive moon which exist in between the earth and the sun. Taking both elements of the moon (yin/ feminine) and the sun (yang/ masculine). The designer mixes masculine elements of clothing into womenswear to achieve a balance look- one which is neither masculine nor too feminine. This idea is translated into the use of suits, dark colours & harsh lines which are contrasted with embellishment/ beads, fluid drape & muted pink and cream. Embellishment took references from images of the planets & galaxy (masculine attributes), which is then reworked with a combination of tulle and beads to look like flowers (feminine). The ambiguity of the final effect of the embellishment illustrate beauty in the balance between the two opposite energies.
