+FLEET STREET INCROYABLES+










 







 Another collection from Magistus House inspired by victorian dandy society. Incroyables is a term of boys in Directoire era who like to dress extremely dandy and fashion forward. In Magistusian term it is a group of youth worshiping vanity. Dorian Gray is the muse of this collection. With its beauty and euphoria of being young(dorian stays young forever) makes people forget about being modest. In Magistusian way you can looked young,beautiful and glam but still not forgetting the grace of modesty!

+MISTRESS ARACHNOPHILIA+












These are womenswear from Arachnophilia,it is not shown in Jakarta fashion week because at the beginning i only design menswear and my friend makes womenswear.
but we have problems so i'm handling Magistus House by myself as i used to be and the womenswear but then months later i made a whole new womenswear collection based on market demands. 
Lots of my friends confused the model really looked like me.it is like me in a women version,haha. this is actually my cousin Fai,she's still an amateur model but i see a lot of potential. so sorry about the resolution and things. this photo session is photographed by un-professional photographer because the person in charge is gone without news.hope bad things happen to you!

+ARACHNOPHILIA on JAKARTA FASHION WEEK 2010+











 Magistus House is an Indonesian based clothing line which headed by Magistus Miftah(which is me;)).they're having a fashion show in  Jakarta Fashion Week 2010-2011 which held on November 10th 2010. this is our first debut of tailored menswear collection. the collection titled 'Arachnophilia' which means love spiders. this is actually a contradiction of me as an arachnophobic. i was inspired to conquer my fear,but i find out quite difficult to touch or having a sweety relationship with these eight legged creatures so i made a collection out of it. spiders are extremely independent,creative and different. these philosophies that makes me think its perfect to be our first debut. i want Magistus House to be as they are and of course FEROCIOUS!

+WHITECRAFT+


 
This is actually my last mini collection i've made for a competition. too bad i've been disqualified because i already have a brand. there are misunderstanding between me and the crew from the competition.

it is called whitecraft.the theme from the competition is go green(quite cliche but it is actually good one). 
what comes across my mind is the religion of earth is witchcraft with its five elements of the earth. so before you recycle from outside,try to recycle ourselves from the inside. this is a very meditating collection.the fabric is made by terry towelling,it is a recycle from my father's 'ihram',clothes for Hajj and also other breezy fabrics. i dye the clothes with henna paste. 
i can't give the photos of the real clothes because it is already disqualified before it was finished,well its better disq.before it's 100% finished anyway.hope this inspire you!

oh this better sound tracked by this song
