A distinctive talent on the rise, Peggy Hartanto is redefining Indonesian fashion worldwide with her eponymous house, which appeals to the sophisticated, intelligent urban woman. After showcasing her collection in Paris, Peggy is now ready to take on new challenges as an internationally acclaimed designer. Here, she describes her work in her own words.
