[Fibre2fashion]

Fashion Designer Yuliana Candra of the Line BlacMéra Presents a Collection of Culturally Inspired, Ready-to-Wear Couture at Agenda Loft in Downtown LA on April 28, 2011 from 7-10pm.

â??When little girls play princess with their Barbie, I played fashion designer with my momâ??s scrap fabrics. I was drawn to â??make thingsâ?? whether itâ??s sculpting, carving, or making clothes.â?? â?? Fashion Designer Yuliana Candra

Whether itâ??s designing tunics with original art (painted by artisans and photographed by the designer herself), or putting the final touches on a finely crafted couture evening gown, fashion designer Yuliana Candra of BlacMéra is busy doing both by preparing to launch her premier collection, which will be held at Agenda Loft in Downtown LA on April 28, 2011 from 7-10pm. Yuliana is a very talented and multi-faceted designer with a vast background in culinary writing, travel photography, and competitive ballroom and Latin dancing.

â??I used to make my own competitive dancewear and for other people. There is such a free flow of thinking in designing dancewear. There is no limit, and I enjoyed it tremendously. The dancers are bold, creative, dare to be different, and of course they are blessed with the perfect figure. They became my living mannequins. It was also a great platform for me to push myself to create the mindset of designing pieces that were ultra complicated to construct. Even today you can still see the dancer characteristics in my gowns.â?? â??Yuliana Candra
