Beautiful Indonesian Enterpreneur 'Dian Pelangi' - Descriptive Text

     Born on January 14, 1991 in Palembang, Dian Pelangi graduated from Ecole Superieur des Arts et Techniques de la Mode (ESMOD) with a very satisfying grade in 2008. Known as a multitalented designer, Dian Pelangi brings colour and excitement to the local and international moslem fashion scene. Dian draws inspiration from the colours of the rainbow and she passionately mines Indonesia’s heritage for her inspiration, from vivid tie-dye and exquisite songket to lavish batik. Dian Pelangi is the main designer of Dian Pelangi company, one of the nation’s leading moslem fashion house.
    At just 22 years old, fashion designer Dian Pelangi has been earmarked the unofficial poster girl for the introduction of Indonesian Islamic fashion to the world.
Hijab Street Style is Dian Pelangi's first book, which presents over 700 styles of Muslimah/Muslim from various cities in Indonesia and even from other countries in Southeast Asia. Matched to the title, all of the women that are featured in this book are not models that are set for a photoshoot but impromptu models from various backgrounds whom Dian met when she attended talkshows and fashion show events.
     Dian believes adaptability to local cultures in terms of understanding the colors and cuts they prefer can be reconciled with the use of traditional Indonesian textiles. It may be this pragmatic outlook that has enabled Dian to crack the international fashion scene. She joins a phalanx of local designers who are striving to adapt traditional Indonesian textiles such as songket (woven cloth embroidered with thread dipped in molten gold or silver), tenun and batik formerly reserved for weddings and ceremonies.
     Together with her father, she devised a new way to create songket using a weaving machine. The songket can then be wrought into cropped blazers, jackets and long dresses. The batik cloth she uses, depicting abstract flora in resplendent aqua blues, mustard yellows, violets and wine reds, is also homemade, and these she juxtaposes with geometric tenun motifs to make U- and V-neck zippered blazers and cropped jackets with wide lapels and large buttons, resulting in an ethnic look with a bold, city-slicker cut.
       Her efforts to go international is not the self-aggrandizing dream of so many local singers, actors and fashion designers but forms part of a larger vision of dispelling discrimination toward wearers of hijab caused by the predominant donning of dark monotones that may give an impression of unfriendliness or inapproachability.

Wonderful Beach at Pekalongan (Recount Text)

The time was still at 04.56 am, but my friend and I were ready to go to Wonokerto beach. We left early this morning because we have to saw the sun rise. For the snack during the trip, my friend had prepared our favorite food.

After walking for a while we reached the estuary, the meeting place of river water and seawater. My friend and I decided to swim at the estuary, because the current was calm unlike at sea.

We swam about 15 minutes, before we go to hunting photos. My friend asked me to sit cross-legged back to the sea. When the waves came we were dragged to shore. It was so exciting, because we did not see when the waves came.

At 10 o'clock, the sun was very hot. My friend asked me to clean ourselves. After that, we continued with enjoying the warm meatballs at the stall on the beach, it was nice to eat while looking at the beauty of the beach.
