the mediums in all their beauty. Every piece is unique and carefully handcrafted. As usual, Arti’s clay pieces are created free-hand and sometimes moulded. This is her forte and this is how she likes to create. She believes that clay has a life and soul so she lets clay guide her in forming shapes.

To introduce the Celestial collection, Arti and Vibeke held a fashion show in Raffles Hotel, Jakarta on 7 May 2018. Her dear friend Erza S.T. created the sophisticated and elegant event. Before the show, guests mingled and enjoyed the delicious high tea that the hotel had organized for the event while admiring the new collection on display.

For the fashion show, the catwalk was set rather intimately; having no elevated level and surrounded by seats for the audience on all four sides and in the middle. The strength of the show were the models who walked. Instead of professional models, the Celestial Collection was worn by real people, Arti’s friends from Jakarta. This was her idea of showing her audience that her creations are for everyone. Having friends with busy schedules giving time and effort to support her dream shows that Arti is a part of the inspiring universe herself.
