MOTE MOTE F/W19 “EM-BOD-I-MENT” — GIVING A FORM INTO IDEAS THAT ARE NON-PHYSICAL: LOVE, HATE, FEAR, JUSTICE, ETC. IT’S ABOUT MIND AND FEELINGS. THE SOLID AND THE LIQUID.

WHATEVER WE ARE THINKING, OR FEELING, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE ARE ABLE TO DELIVER THE HIDDEN MESSAGE. THIS COLLECTION MARKS A BOLD AND FLUID PERSONALITY THAT EXISTS WITHIN PEOPLE’S MIND AND FEELINGS, WHICH IMPACTS ON HOW THEY DECIDE THINGS OR DOINGS, EVENTUALLY. TOGETHER WITH THIS CONCEPT WE REPRESENT OUR KEY PERSONS, FOUR GREAT NAMES KNOWN AS PIONEERS, WHO HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMMUNICATE THEIR SILENCE THROUGHOUT THEIR DEEDS PRIOR TO ANYONE ELSE: SAILOR MONEY, HADI ISMANTO, HINDIA AND MUTIARA FARHANA. EACH COMES WITH A PURPOSE AND A DIFFERENT STORY OF GROUNDBREAKING WHICH HAS INVOLVED MANY AND LONG PROCESSES OF WHAT WE CALL EMBODIMENT.

SAILORMONEY OR USUALLY CALLED AS GEMAT, A SENSATIONAL GIRL WHO’S TAKING HER SMALL STEPS BEING A SOCIAL ACTIVIST OR MOTIVATOR TO WIN HER BELIEFS ON PHYSICAL (BODY-SIZE) POSITIVITY. IN HER WORDS, CONFIDENCE OCCURS BY KNOWING NOT ONLY WHAT OR WHO YOU ARE, BUT HOW YOU REALLY ARE, TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHY, AND MAKE PEACE WITH IT. ONCE YOU MAKE PEACE WITH YOURSELF, THEN YOU CAN BE COMFORTABLE AND CONFIDENT WITH YOURSELF. “REMEMBER THAT IT IS OKAY NOT TO BE OKAY..”

HADI ISMANTO, A MEDIA ENTREPRENEUR, GREATLY KNOWN FOR HIS ROLE BEHIND MANUAL JAKARTA – A PIONEER OF ONLINE CITY GUIDE AND LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE. BEING CALLED AS OVERLY IDEALISTIC, HE BELIEVES THAT MEDIA HAS THE POWER TO CHANGE HOW PEOPLE THINK AND ACT, BRINGING A MAJOR IMPACT TO OUR GENERATION.

BASKARA PUTRA A.K.A. HINDIA, WHOSE NAME IS NOTABLE FOR REPRESENTING (MOSTLY) YOUNGSTERS’ VOICES KNOWINGLY CALLED AS “SUARA RAKYAT” IN INDONESIA’S MUSIC SCENE TODAY. NOW THAT HE’S BECOMING A MUSICIAN THAT SUCCESSFULLY SYNTHESIZES HIS THOUGHTS INTO MUSIC, LYRICS AND VISUALS, BASKARA STARTED OFF BY WRITING IT DOWN FAR BEFORE EVEN THINKING TO BE ONE. ‘NEKAT’ IS HOW HE DEFINES HIMSELF. HE IS ALSO THE FRONT MAN OF .FEAST, INDONESIAN MUSIC GROUP WITH WIDE VIEWS ABOUT SOCIAL SCENE AND POLITICS, WHO IS KNOWN AS THE BRAVE ONE TO BE ABLE SAYING IT OUT BLUNTLY.

MUTIARA FARHANA, A FREE SPIRITED WOMAN WHO INTRODUCES HERSELF A WAACKING DANCER. SHE OWNS A HUGE DESIRE IN TAKING FAR ‘DANCING’ AS A MOVEMENT OR MEDIA TO SPEAK. BESIDES EDUCATING, MUTIA SPENDS HER DAYS ORGANIZING DANCE-RELATED EVENTS AND PERFORMANCES IN ORDER TO PURSUE HER BIGGEST DREAM. NOT ONLY SPENDING TIMES DOING WHAT SHE LOVES, MUTIA HAS BUILT COMMUNITIES THAT ARE WORTH TO BE CALLED AS DREAM TEAM.
