Imelda Kartini graduated from Esmod Jakarta in the year 2007. With her bright knowledge and exquisite taste in fashion she immediately takes the fashion world by storm. She named her boutique "Ju'dees Crown", specializing in luxurious wedding gowns and breath-taking evening gowns. Her designs reminds us of the Mid-Victorian ball gowns with Cuirasse bodices, the dresses hugs the wearer's figure and highlights the beauty of a woman. Hitting the right points of elegance meets strong, the amazing feeling of confidence.
Her well-learned experience working with swarovski beadings differentiates her with other designers. Mixing techniques of appliques, rosettes and shiny crystals and then smartly placing it on different areas of the dress to enhance the entire look, which eventually became her signature forte. Also, mixing different fabric textures (for example, chantilly lace mixed with silk chiffon) is one of her strong point, she's not afraid of experimenting with fabrics, most of her gowns have unique fabric manipulation details such as chiffon basket weave, frayed puffs, etc. We can all agree that she is an enthusiastic young designer, a risk-taker and ambitious in showcasing a jaw-dropping collection down the runway every single time.
