Sorry friends! I am taking a two week break from the podcast because I currently have my hands very full! … leading a group of 25 Indonesian fashion designers through a two week training program here in Australia.
It is an Australian Government scholarship program, called Australia Awards. The objective is to teach these bright and creative Indonesian designers about the international fashion market. I organise workshops, site-visits and many industry guests and events. The program involves travelling to different cities in Australia.
Due to my busyness, and in lieu of an episode, I invite you to read an article I wrote last year for Garland Magazine about two amazing designers from one of the previous programs, Lenny Agustin and Novita Yunus. These two passionate designers and inspiring business women transform traditional crafts into contemporary fashion.

I promise I will be back with more podcasts in two weeks !
