ABOUT
Born in West Sumatra, Indonesia and had educated in science, I gained my degree specialization in "Plant Physiology" at age of 24.
To pursue a career outside a science field, after moved to England in 2000 to live with my husband. I went to study "Fashion and Textile" at Hopwood Hall College in Rochdale, gaining a Higher National Diploma with triple Distinctions. For further 3 years I carried on study at De Montfort University in Leicester achieving Upper Second-Class Honours of Arts Degree in "Fashion and Contour".
My original plan was to work in a luxury womenswear brand but this also seemed to be not that easy. It was during studying Arts as part of my textile studies, I knew I had to go into a creative field of work to be truly happy. I fell deeply in love with it and never looked back.
Achievements...?
During my second year as fashion student at De Montfort University, I was taking my first steps into the fashion world by entering the Heering Accessorize 2009 global competition.
What have Fashionista said, "Folowing stiff competition from a number of talented designers, Edrima's fabulous design was finally crowned the winner by the Accesorize 2009 UK judging panel. Comprised of award-winning fashion journalist Rebbecca Howard and cutting edge design duo Amy Molyneaux and Percy Parker (of British fashion emporium PPQ), the panel selected Edrima's design describing it as "a Killer cocktail dress with all hallmarks of an attention-grabbing gown" and were particularly impressed with the "strong silhouette, luxurious details and interesting use of contrasting fabrics and textures.""
My Final year fasion show was really blow the audience minds with curiosity... The collection has contructed by combining variety of materials such as leather, metal, jersey and woven fabrics.
What can I say about style?
It is something you have as a person - a kind of a gift you unconciously use in every single thing you do. In fashion style can be defined as a visualized identity, things you like or dislike. In my simple words style is about individuality expresssion.
Talk about my Idol...!
I am not sure I have one, I never search for idols and anyhow there are people I title as icons and inspirational. From nostalgia of Cristobal Balenciaga, Christian Dior, Elsa Schiaparelli, Vivien Westwood and the adventurous Alexander McQueen.
