Indonesian born – raised in Singapore and Paris. Harry Halim is a Paris-based Creative Director who graduated from Lasalle College of the Arts in Singapore. In 2006, he launched his first womenswear collection in Singapore where he was formerly based.
After encouraging feedback from the industry and customers, he presented 2007 his second collection at the Singapore Fashion Festival while continuing his refined aesthetic of dangerously sophisticated elegance, which drew an impressive response from the international press and buyers who love him as a modern couturier.
In 2008, Harry Halim was awarded Best Asian Designer of the Year and was featured in the International industry-go-to compendium, Asian Young Fashion Designers.
The same year, he relocated his studio to Paris and started a new debut collection in Fall/Winter 2010. The collection was positively reviewed by influential fashion critics for his conceptual imagination. The following season, Harry Halim became the first Indonesian designer accepted in Paris Fashion Week’s official agenda.
In 2016 Harry Halim dedicated 1 year fully to his loyal customers, by making special private and intimate collections for each of them. “It was a personal desire I had, I wanted to honor those women who believed in me, I wanted to know them well, so I decided to make them special private sur-mesure pieces where their own self became THE inspiration behind it”
As the brand expands its clientele around the globe, Harry Halim now travels between France and Indonesia while preparing his new collection.
The Spring Summer 2018 collection releases in October 2017 during Paris Fashion Week. The collection is called “Les Fleurs du Mal”, inspired by Charles Baudelaire’s same-titled book of poems.

“I’m not trying to entertain anybody, or trying to be who I am not. Those women are the inspiration of my works, so I look upon them, and I believe they never try to be someone they’re not, or try to be different, or unique, they are not followers, they refuse to be dictated by anyone or anything, they do what makes them stronger – perhaps by fighting for what they believe in, or slowing down to get what they want… and that’s what this brand is about”.
Unlike many designers working in the industry today, he drapes all his own patterns and toiles in his studio in Paris.
“As a native Indonesian, this beautiful country always inspired me by its hundreds of tribal cultures diversity. Singapore molded me to be a perfectionist. While Paris is bringing me to another level of life. The city of light taught me to live by, with, and for passion, be true to yourself, and enhanced my appreciation of quality and freedom.” Moving forward, in response to high demands and his desire to strengthen his relationship with his inspiring homeland, Harry Halim announced the opening of his first flagship store in Jakarta in November 2017.

In other words, the dresses have amazing simplicity and wearability and would fit in anywhere and on any occasion.

Naeem Khan
Naeem Khan is a fashion designer based in the heart of the fashion district in New York City.
Born and raised in Mumbai, Khan grew up in a world surrounded by culture, architecture, art, history, and design. As a boy, he cultivated a vast knowledge of textiles under the watchful eyes of his grandfather and father, both of whom designed intricate clothing worn by Indian royal families. Khan ultimately moved to the United States as a teenager to become a designer and launched his career as an apprentice for legendary American designer Halston at the age of 20.

Khan eventually merged this design philosophy with the knowledge he gained from his family’s business to nurture his own unique style, and the Naeem Khan design aesthetic was born.
Khan launched his eponymous collection in 2003 and began selling at Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, and Saks Fifth Avenue. Since then his collections have adorned glamorous women around the world, including Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift, Rachel McAdams, First Lady Michelle Obama, Queen Noor of Jordan, and the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, among others.

Pauline Ning
Naturally drawn to organic shapes and elements, gathering together contradictions, the works result in having a mix of opposites – raw and refined, structured and soft. With the ensemble of different fabrics (material, texture, and color) in one garment, minimal touches of handcrafted detailing in the garments give a unique combination.
Emerging into the independent market sector, the designer aims to create clothes that are enduring, with each and every carefully crafted garment that will mean something different to each person.
