Designer Profile
Growing up far from the capital city made Wilsen Willim dreams big. Pursuing his passion in fashion right after finishing his studies in fine art, Wilsen has a unique way in balancing his sharp idealism in design whilst meeting the needs of his clientele.
In his young age, Wilsen already chosen as the winner of Harper’s Bazaar Asia NewGen Fashion Awards 2016, featured in prestigious events such as Fashion Revolution Fashion Open Studio in 2018, Jagantara by Warisan Budaya Indonesia (WBI) 2022, Fashion Nation by Senayan City and actively presenting his collection in Jakarta Fashion Week each year since 2018-2022. Currently, he is a member of Ikatan Perancang Mode Indonesia / Indonesia Fashion Designer Council (IFDC).
Having an art background, Wilsen invited artists from all around the world as collaborators in his collections such as from senior world class artists like Eddie Hara and Douglas Diaz to Indonesian contemporary artist Manda Selena (Pinky Girl).
Recently fell in love with Indonesian fabric, Wilsen has a new passion in preserving Indonesian intangible treasure in the form of Batik and Tenun. This fresh idea brought him to collaborate with Cita Tenun Indonesia (CTI) and WBI from time to time in the past few seasons.
His clean-cut minimalist design with signature pinwheel origami technique is now accessible to buy in Sarinah Thamrin, Galeries Lafayette (Pacific Place) Jakarta, Central Department Store (Grand Indonesia) Jakarta, Warisan Budaya Indonesia (WBI) Store in Rumah Batik Cikatomas and main store in Taman Alfa Indah D10 no.1, West Jakarta, Indonesia.
