ERIN asks just one thing of its participants to be inspired. Defined by its tagline, Creativity in Diversity, JERIN Jerman (Germany) and Indonesia is a series of cultural, educational, artistic and intellectual events that invite Indonesians to experience, and interact with, German culture. With more than 60 events held in more than a dozen cities across the archipelago between October 2011 and March 2012, JERIN aims to illustrate how Germany and Indonesia are working together to address a wide variety of social, economic, political and cultural issues. Since launching in October, JERIN events have entertained thousands of children and adults, and enabled people to learn a little more about one of Indonesias allies. JERIN is jointly organized by the German Embassy, the GoetheInstitut and Ekonid (the GermanIndonesian Chamber of Industry and Commerce). The six-month event celebrates 60 years of diplomatic relations between Indonesia and the Federal Republic of Germany. Many German institutions, including the development co-operation agency GIZ, the academic exchange agency DAAD, political foundations and many German and Indonesian companies, are partners in the JERIN event. Modern Germany is an economic powerhouse; it is the largest economy in the European Union and the fourth-largest in the world, and the countrys international profile continues to grow. Germany, with a population of about 83 million, is famed for its efforts in combating carbon emissions and climate change, and for its technological achievements. Germany is one of the top European education destinations for foreign students. The nation has also produced some of Europes most celebrated composers, philosophers and poets. It is a country with a stunning natural landscape, as well as modern, vibrant and unique cities. Despite the obvious differences between two countries that are separated by more than 11,000 kilometers, their diplomatic and foreign trade relationships are strong and continue to move in a positive direction. The JERIN initiative aims to inject new energy and life into this longstanding relationship, and to foster contact between German and Indonesian culture.

pon an invitation from JERIN, and in cooperation with Berlin Fashion Week, eight designers representing five different labels presented their latest collections at Jakarta Fashion Week in November. The five labels Boessert/Schorn, Starstyling, Hien Le, MOON Berlin, and Issever Bahri were selected from almost 40 others to participate in the annual event. Hundreds of curious and enthusiastic Indonesians turned out to see what the eclectic group of designers had to offer over the course of a day.
MOON Berlin MOON Berlin is an innovative fashion label by Brigitte Franken and Christian Bruns that mixes softcircuit LEDs with luxury fashion to achieve a dramatic, but elegant, light and shadow effect on evening gowns, cocktail dresses, trouser and blouse combinations and accessories. Unlike most fashion designers who are primarily thinking just about cuts, texture and color, Franken and Bruns have technical aspects to consider when designing haute tech a term used to describe the marrying of fashion and technology. The design process often starts with a design topic the story the collection should tell and the actual technical possibilities we have. Then we start the design process, doing draping, experiments, testing to see if our concepts work as we envisioned, Bruns said. Their 2011 collection, Im Not a Robot, emphasizes aesthetics, not science fiction, and has been presented at a number of international fashion shows.
Issever Bahri Issever Bahri, by Derya Issever and Cimen Bachri, combines handcrafted techniques that are inspired by the womens Turkish roots such as silk, leather and wool motifs, with modern, chic and classic European-style cuts. We [design] clothes that are wearable in everyday life, but are still sophisticated. We like it to be rustic, and never cute, Issever said. The two 29 year olds are fashion design graduates from the University
of Applied Sciences in Berlin. Issever and Bachri say they became instant friends after meeting on the first day of classes. Each went to work for different fashion houses after university, but in 2010 they reunited to start Issever Bahri. The duo said they recognize the potential of the Asian market because concept stores, which specialize in smaller brands, have taken off due to fashion enthusiasts who have an eye for new and up-and-coming brands. Asia is one step ahead of Europe in that sense, Issever said. Issever Bahri is sold in seven concept stores in Germany and abroad, including one in Hong Kong, and is also sold online.
Boessert/Schorn Boessert/Schorn by Sonia Boessart brings attitude with daring patterns that are casual but funky. Using yarns and fabrics mainly from Italy, France and Austria, the label is bold but still easy to wear and comfortable. Boessert/Schorn is inspired by antiques, crafts and traditional costumes The label uses handcraft methods, knitted techniques and colorful dyes to bring everything together at once. Since 2008, Boessert/Schorn has released two collections every year, one in Paris and another in Tokyo. Since 2010, these collections have also made their way to the catwalks of New York. The collection is now sold in about 40 selected stores in Europe, Asia and North America. Hien Le Laotian-born Hien Le used airy fabric, discreet cuts and solid bold colors red, yellow, cream and blue to build his Spring/Summer 2012 collection. The highlight: a stunning maxi-length red dress.
