Indonesian Brand in Tokyo Fashion Week F/W 2014-2015 - Major Minor

Dalam Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tokyo untuk koleksi Fall/Winter 2014-2015 baru-baru ini, brand Major Minor dari Indonesia menunjukkan kreasinya untuk koleksi wanita. Busana berpotongan simple namun attractive, berkesan ringan dan lembut mereka tampilkan. Koleksi busana merekapun tampak memiliki unsur Japanese style, seperti busana yang dikenakan oleh masyarakat Jepang pada umumnya. Jika kita tak mengetahui sebelumnya bahwa ini adalah koleksi dari Major Minor, kita akan menyangka bahwa ini adalah koleksi dari seorang perancang Jepang. 

Berikut ini beberapa desain Major Minor yang diperlihatkan di Tokyo :

Loafers (Moccasins) - Men

Moccasins adalah sepatu lunak yang nyaman dipakai, nyaris tanpa heels, yang khususnya dipakai pada waktu santai. Ini adalah model sepatu yang tak mengenal gender karena dapat dipakai baik oleh pria maupun wanita. Karena termasuk jenis flat shoes atau alas kaki datar, maka moccasins juga baik dipakai untuk menyetir. Bahkan Tod's mengeluarkan koleksi sepatu khusus untuk menyetir yang diberi nama Gommino Driving Shoes dalam bentuk moccasins.  

Berikut ini berbagai desain berbentuk moccasins :

Leather Bracelet - Women

Gelang yang terbuat dari kulit merupakan aksesori yang dapat meningkatkan penampilan sehari-hari seseorang. Seseorang dapat saja hanya berpakaian T'Shirt dan jeans, namun dengan memakai gelang kulit, ia terlihat keren. Gelang yang terbuat dari kulit memang tampak sangat fashionable. Tentunya pilihan warna yang tepat, desain yang menunjang dan kualitas produk juga turut mempengaruhi. Pengrajin Indonesia sendiri sebenarnya mahir membuat gelang kulit yang menawan, khususnya pengrajin di Jakarta, Bandung, Jogjakarta dan Bali. Karya-karya mereka yang tak diberi merk atau brand telah bertebaran dan dijual di negara-negara tetangga. 

Berikut ini gelang-gelang kulit dari Tod's, Swarovski, Massimo Dutti dan Hermes :
