Amanda,how did you become interested in fashion?
I've been making clothes since I was a kid
I used to dress up my dolls for special events like Halloween or the Acandemy Awards
But it was just for fun
I never thought of becoming a fashion designer
I believe you wanted to start an agro business
When did you make the transition
I was doing a business course at college,but I also took up design
I very quickly realized that my heart and talent were in fashion and I switched majorys
And now you've created your own label,and you've achieved world fame at a very young age
i take it that your new collection is based on traditional Indonesian designs
Do you think fashion has become globalized
In some aspects,yes The fabrics and materials are obtained from different countried, and designers are always on the lookout for interesting ethnic patterns that they can adapt
but on the other hand countries still like to keep their traditional clothing styles
