A native of East Java, Indonesia, Dwi studied fashion design at the Fashion School of Adrianto Halim in Bali. He very quickly developed his own unique style: growing up in rural Java, Dwi has long had a passion for ethnic materials and patterns, and he combines those ethnic inspirations and fabrics with contemporary design and fashion elements into his unique female and male collections.

He opened his first boutique in Bali in 2001, selling his casual wear for males and females. After his ready-to-wear collection was well received by the market, Dwi started to produce his cocktail and evening dress collection as his next step in the dynamic Balinese / Indonesian fashion industry, and subsequently, participated in many high-profile fashion events in Bali, Jakarta and Jogjakarta, as well as international events in San Francisco and Hong Kong

In 2002, Dwi started to produce uniforms, and was soon commissioned to design and produce uniforms for several hotels, restaurants and cafes in Bali.

Dwi was a co-founder and first chairman of APPMI Bali, (the Bali branch of the Indonesian Fashion Designer Association) and is still an active member, responsible for organizing fashion events in Bali, most recently 'Fashion Tendance '08, which showcased collections by established and up-and-coming Indonesian fashion designers. His collections have been published in fashion magazines in Indonesia as well as internationally.Labels:
