10 Potret Migi Rihasalay Showcasing the Latest Collection 'Black Rose' at IFW 2024, Prepared in Just 3 Weeks

Migi continues by explaining that the theme is inspired by the story of a rose, where roses symbolize elegance, love, and even sadness or separation.

"Everyone always uses roses. Because every color has a meaning, and when the rose turns black it is in darkness. So the meaning of this black rose is interpreted as a darkness that has power, a woman who cannot be exposed keeps all kinds of stories," said Migi, who was inspired by the story 'The Dark Night Life' for this collection.

With only 3 weeks of preparation, Migi used a basic red material technique sprayed with gradient black color to adjust his black rose flowers by displaying 15 thousand petals.

Migi also hopes to continue releasing collections in the future that are even better and inspiring with more difficult techniques based on other stories.
