Social Study? Not Really.

Hey! It has been busy days this several days.

Many assignment, many things to take care.

Especially Chinese New Year is near, so many things to do.

Now, I want talk about my latest assignment.

I think it's interesting.

So, my lecturer ask my class to find an Indonesian designer, high-class one, and research about them.

I immediately think about Oscar Lawalata. 

Well, I don't know, but I like him since I was.... I forgot actually. 

*This is him,, Oscar Lawalata.. so pretty*

When I told my lecturer, sir Anggra that I chose Oscar Lawalata.

He said it's interesting, because Oscar is an Indonesian designer who loves to play with batik in his designs.

Then I browsed his fashion show to see his collections. I looked at his website also to see latest collections.

These are few of his collections.

As the picture shown above, we can see, Oscar's design is not always Indonesian though he always use Indonesian fabric pattern.

But he inspired by so many culture. He likes to infuse several cultures in a cloth.

For me, what Oscar did is a great thing. IT'S A NEW WAY TO ACCEPT MULTICULTURALISM IN OUR COUNTRY.

When we elementary student, we got social study, right? We have been taught to accept people though they are different races.

But, as we grow up, we forgot about that study. We as a part of a big country, still feel hard to accept people who are different from us. We still confuse how to express our acceptance with people who are different. 

Oscar make a new way. He is not only a designer for me. He is also a informal teacher, who through his designs, he teach us to accept multiculturalism. 

It's a new day, people! It's a modern era!

We don't have to lecturing people about acceptance or multiculturalism. We can still show it by fashion, maybe like Oscar.

It's a new day!

Multicultural is good! It's okay to be different! Different is beautiful!

Can you imagine if all the people in this WORLD all the same? same race.. same skin color.. same language.. same dialect..

It's BORING!

If it's color palette, it's only white or black.. it's boring..

but if multicultural, it's like rainbow's color. so colorful..

=D

Thanks Oscar.. I learn a lot from you =D
