Previously, the usual players in the world of fashion were designers, stylists, writers, photographers and buyers. But with the rise of social media in Indonesia, we started to see the emergence of new “professions”, including Fashion Blogger and Fashion Entrepreneur. Suddenly, having online fashion shops and taking photos for OOTD (Outfit Of The Day) have become a common sight, no matter where we go in Jakarta. Fashion has indeed been a part of our daily life for a long time, but through social media, fashion now has also become about making a look worth thousands, if not millions of ‘likes’ instead. The main goal now is that ‘On The Screen’ look, because if people like what they see when checking out our social media accounts, then our job is done.
Really? We don’t think so. Because creating a fashion standout look for our social media accounts takes so much more than having the latest smartphone, good writing skills and a bit of luck in finding a pretty background for taking photos. You still have a long way to go.
Behind The Screen is a fashion talk that invites everyone to take a really good look and listen to the process of these fashion professions that seem to be so popular these days; stylists, bloggers and entrepreneurs, including how fast fashion has become a part of this big trend, both locally and internationally. So if you are into fashion - regardless of which perspective you are interested in - this talk is definitely for you.
