Golden Inspiration

The ballroom of Dharmawangsa Hotel was turned into something close to an Eden from fairytales with nothing short of magnificent and grandeur. Couture flower arrangements in fancy avant-garde shapes were everywhere, filling the room with breathtakingly beautiful atmosphere. The magic was done by Preston Bailey, a world’s preeminent event designer.

Last night, he collaborated with Indonesia’s very own Biyan Wanaatmadja, who showcased more than 50 couture wedding gowns from the Biyan Bride and Biyan Gold limited edition labels. The models who strutted on the runway in meticulously detailed couture gowns are Indonesia’s finest, while the guests of ‘Inspiration by Preston Bailey Featuring Biyan Bride & Biyan Gold’ event were the crème de la crème of our country, including Adinda Bakrie, Intania Bakrie, Amanda Soekasah, Jessica Nathalie, Renny Sutiyoso, Tirza Tabitha, Sjully Darsono, and Sarah Moerad.

Tres magnifique!

Current Obsession: Adinda Bakrie

Unlike any other socialites whose last names are rather unfamiliar to the ears of thousands of people in our nation, Miss Adinda has a last name that even millions of Indonesians are familiar with. Voted as the second most charismatic last name (refer to poll results) – slightly below Soeharto, Bakrie to Indonesians is like de Rothschild to Europeans.

Having such prestigious family name can be advantageous, and at the same time detrimental – for those who are incapable of maintaining a good image. But for the young Miss Adinda, with her pristine beauty and graceful personality, having ‘Bakrie’ as her last name is only a fringe benefit. Graduated magna cum laude from Babson College, the effortlessly gorgeous young lady impressed thousands of Indonesians as she headed back her hometown years ago. Being a regular fixture in social events and having her pictures published in lifestyle magazines, this ‘girl-about-town’ has also become enormously famous for her good qualities among the society.

If you wonder why Mrs. Dotty Arwin Rasyid’s daughter is missing from the city’s glamorous social events these few weeks, expect to see her around in Hong Kong!
