Just In WADEZIG! Raw Denim

Check Out

Makers mark RADENRORO by Liquica Anggraini

We at Time Out think that raw denim is truly one of the best looks around at the moment. Raw denim is just like regular denim but it’s not treated with harsh chemicals and it isn’t washed after being dyed. WADEZIG! got our attention when it launched its new raw denim collection, not only because they come in two different styles, but also because WADEZIG! manages to keep its prices low. The Selvedge Jeans (Rp.450,000) has a dual-toned selvedge line, while the Black Coated Denim (Rp.225,000) comes in a fully dyed

What is it? The name for Liquica Anggraini’s clothing line, RADEN RORO, comes from the title given to royal Indonesian girls. It’s a fitting name for Liquica’s designs, which can best be described as luxurious, elegant, and exotic. Her pieces are renown for their vintage-inspired cuts, daring uses of colour, and beautiful high-quality fabrics. How did it start? Liquica started RADENRORO with her husband, Andrei, in July 2007. It was her lifelong dream to have her own clothing line in New York City, and the time was right for them to make an investment and has started. They spent their first year learning a lot of hard lessons, but slowly began to make a name out of RADENRORO by attending trade shows in New York and Las Vegas, and hiring a sales representative. Why do we like it? RADENRORO is all about being effortlessly chic; even the most complex and detailed pieces are

black coating from top to bottom. So to get that authentic worn look, wear them constantly! Do lunges in them, jump in them, dance in them, work out in them – do anything but wash them, and in seven months from now, they will hold in all those creases you created. Hey, all that work is just the price you pay for a truly comfortable and fashionable pair of jeans. Tyara Putri WADEZIG! Jl. Lamandau IV, no.8 021 725 7059 www.wadezig.com
