DEAR,

BEAUTIFUL SOULS It has been the greatest dream of mine to showcase different kinds of beauty and personalities. With all of the great efforts of our squad, we have transformed our initial newsletter to an official beauty novelty that will capture the different essence of beauty.

L’Coiffure is simply beyond what make-up and hairstyle is traditionally seen, it is a bold statement of what makes someone beautiful, and it is the story behind it.

I am so grateful that we get to featured Angel and Agnes Susinto as our first cover story, with their effortless style and their sincere heart in sharing their bond as sisters. I can only hope that every single person will be inspired to share their stories with us for the next upcoming issues of L’Coiffure.

L’Coiffure is not a magazine. It is a novelty, a testament of beauty where creative minds will gather and revolutionize how we define beauty.

There’s beauty in everything, and beauty is what we all keep looking for.

A new standard for those who seeks great accomplishment through collaborations and passions.

Let this be the beginning, let this be the start of a new chapter.

Share your stories, share your beauty..

BEYOND the BEAUTY THE UNTOLD STORIES

We know its hard to live in the city, oh yes it is.

We went searching on every blocks, every corners.. but looking for what exactly? but we kept on running sometimes we wouldn’t understand why we kept running away.

The city, with its glitz and glam.

The posh and the peasants the pioneers and the pious but we all are searching for the same thing.

Something that no currency can’t afford and no blood diamonds in this world would suffice to be sacrifice.

It’ll take a split second to lose but a lifetime to find. it is a place of complete liberty, complete freedom, no shame, won’t be tamed. it is acceptance that we all seek for. the appreciation to different views. treating others with respects where we shall never underestimate, we shall never disrespect We are all here born with different gifts.

The gifts of creation, manipulation, duplication, yet we all strive for perfection.

We keep on selling, but are they buying? are we buying?

We’ve sold our passions, our soul, and in exchange for what? to be one’s definition of beautiful, to be known, to be accepted and when in the end of the day, it has become the darkest part of us with all the false expectations, the hallucinations an worst of all, the denial.

Dear no one, this is a love letter to you. to your beautiful face, to your beautiful soul Let’s love and only love.

Tell me what you think, and I’ll share you the world the world is filled with wondrous beauty but only if you want to see it and only if you let me show it. so lets live it lets love it lets not fear it lets become it.

Even when it was a cold, damped, rainy Sunday, Jakarta was warmed by their graceful presence, leaving us all in great awes.

The sisters walked in with their best accessory money can’t afford, a smile that will last us days. Angel came in cool with a simple denim and tank top, while Agnes style’s juxtapose with her sky blue dress.

Both Angel and Agnes was no stranger to fashion, as they brought their very own personal collections from a demure Gucci black embellished dress, to statement Balenziaga dress covered in grungy metal rings, amongst other great items that they have acquired.

Both sisters are clearly each other’s greatest

Hari Minggu, Jakarta tetap hangat walau dengan dingin dan basahnya hujan, berkat kehadiran Angel dan Agnes Susinto yang membuat kita semua terpana.

Kedua kakak beradik masuk dengan sebuah aksesori yang tidak bisa dibeli dengan uang, sebuah senyuman yang tidak akan hilang dalam jangka yang sangat lama.

Angel, dengan gaya santai memakai denim dan tank top, sedangkan Agnes memakai dress biru yang sangat membedakan style masing-masing.

Fashion bukanlah hal yang baru untuk Angel & Agnes. Banyak koleksi label ternama yang yang mejadi pilihan mereka, seperti baju hitam Gucci dan dress Balenciaga yang dipenuhi detail metal yang memberi efek grunge.

supporters, sharing their great love of Dior and Martabak that they brought to the set; the two sisters are truly an epitome of modern classic beauty.

While keeping things effortless and comfortable, both sisters are a clear yin and yang when it comes to their chosen style.

Angel who exudes power and confidence through a darker color palette and Agnes shine her youthful innocence through her vibrant choices of dresses and skirts.

However different their taste in fashion is, the sisters believes that true beauty does come from within. Knowing what they want, omits what judgments people made while being respectful without looking down on anyone. Independent women who know what she want and as someone we can all be aspired to be.

Kedekatan Angel & Agnes sangat bisa dilihat dari bagaimana mereka sangat mendukung satu sama lain, dipadukan dengan cinta mereka akan Dior dan martabak yang dibawa ke dalam set.

Style Angel dan Agnes bagaikan yin dan yang, dimana Angel lebih memilih warna gelap yang mencerminkan karakter kuat, sangat berbeda dengan Agnes yang bermain di warna terang yang menampilkan sisi innocent di usia muda.

Walau pilihan fashion sangat berbeda, arti kecantikan untuk Angel & Agnes percaya kecantikan yang murni berasal dari dalam.

Seorang wanita cantik adalah seseorang yang mandiri, tidak perduli perkataan orang, tau apa yang ingin dia raih, dan juga saling menghormati satu sama lain, seseorang yang bisa memberikan aspirasi di dalam diri kita semua.

THE GREAT

OUTDOOR Photographed by Treehouse works

Once upon a time, every year, every girl’s dream will come true. They are given the chance to wear their floral headbands, fairy summer dresses and sing along like hippies, and nobody will give them a strange look.

Coachella, Lollapalooza, Future Music Festival, We the Fest, and Ardentic are just few of the most notable and anticipated outdoor festivals that are currently trending. Attending a multiday festival has become the top list for the millennial, specifically in the music and art scene. With aggressive concepts, great lineup of entertainment and performers, the outdoor festival has also become a integral part for social media buzz.

Perhaps people had grown tired of the same old malls routine, lack of parking space and limited choices of views to enjoy.

With outdoor festivals, the pressure to dress up does somehow amplified but with great enthusiasm by the people to be at their most comfortable, but still being able to showcase their inner bohemian.

The music, the fashion, the hairstyle and the story that swirl around the festival has always successfully intrigue a lot of people, as it is the perfect place to dance around and sing along, with different choices of hair braids to completely nail the boho, chic look as a festival’s rite of passage.

How long will this trend last we never know. It seems that even when we are approaching the future with advanced technology, it is the old sentimental value that are still lacking.

The communication, the interaction, being able to touch each other’s hand and heart.

We can only hope than in a place where people will always need constant entertainment, the great outdoor festival is here to stay, after all, who doesn’t like a little BBQ party with our hair down, and hands up in the air dancing.

WRITERS & READERS

festival Photographed by Anggara Mahendra

Some of us are always surrounded by the chaos of city life. There’s a certain luxury when you’re able to simply wander around aimlessly, with no pressure waiting ahead. Ubud, is the perfect place to get lost and you’ll surprisingly end up being found.

There’s food, fun and fiesta on every corner of Ubud, especially during the festival season where artist, musicians, writers, and all kinds of souls gathers.

Ubud Writers & Readers Festival (UWRF) is one of the main reasons Ubud is so vibrant, as it was initially held as a healing project after the first Bali bombing tragedy.

Representing South-East Asia, UWRF unites the diversity that every culture owns, the intricacy of one’s experiences, bringing brave voices out through arts and literature. Celebrating various types of Indonesian and international artist, it is a save space for those with extreme thirst for a deep connection stories that are shared.

UWRF always dedicates portions of their festival to unique themes such as women empowerment, digital movement or just simple ways to be content with our life.

The festival never fails to present us with something we can all go back to, feeling 40 | SOIREÈ

refreshed, rejuvenated, and reassured that life will be splendid.

The festival is spread across four full days of panels, workshops along with acoustic music, poetry slam or a dance party that heighten the excitement to be outdoor one with the nature and the people.

This year, UWRF will pay tribute to Indonesian cinema, featuring actor and director Slamet Rahardjo, and our very own Medan born, Joko Anwar who directed the HBO TV series, Half World.

Choosing Tat Van Si as the core theme, which means I am you, you are me, uniting people from every walks of life, with different faiths, ant ethnicity.

From the literature land, Dewi Lestari, author of the Supernova trilogy, Shandra Woworuntu, an Indonesian sex-traffic survivor and social advocate, a standup comedian from Pakistan, Sami Shah, a world poetry slam champion Emi Mahmoud, along with GQ Thailand Magazine editor-in-chief Voranai Vanijaka, and an award winning Indonesian journalist Leila S.Chudori.

This year will be chance for those eager to dissect and comprehend issues behind identity, inclusion and how to face extremism. So, lets speak up, let’s smile, and let’s live, this year in Ubud.

GENTLEMEN’S CLUB

A new Romance found in green

BORIS HARTANTO Photographed by Roi Chandra Styled by Lisa Chan

A BIOTECHNOLOGY GRADUATE, A CHEF, BUT A TRUE GREEN LOVER INSIDE. 44 | THE GENTLEMAN CLUB

45

Medan metropolitan has long been known as one of the toughest city to decode. The people are culturally diverse with distinct mind complexity, but surprisingly loyal and consistent when they found the right sentiment to uphold.

Working daily as a chef, Boris defies all odds in establishing his urban green sanctuary where he keeps all of the green gems away from the bustle of the city, transporting us to a comfort that we all seek for.

Yet still the biggest enigma is how Boris’s biotechnology background leads him to being a chef and to this green path of life, an unconventional yet daring choices for many.

‘My background in biology and science makes me more in tune in figuring out what pairings works best, with all the small details that gives deeper impact’.

‘People experience the dishes with their taste buds, just like how chemicals react.

Actions . reactions. When it comes to urban plantings, picture yourself getting to know someone. Who are they, what they really like, what reactions they give out, then I’ll immediately know what plants should be your best friend’.

Aside from the functions of clearing toxic air, the romantic notion when it comes to urban plantings is still a gigantic mystery, as we have all been so accustomed to roses as the ultimate symbol of desire.

‘Imagine an engagement ring on your succulents, it symbolizes a life together, it’s giving the other person a great trust to take care of this living things together. It’s a life commitment’.

46

Kota metropolitan Medan telah lama dikenal sebagai kota yang sangat susah untuk dimengerti. Dengan bermacam budaya, dan pola pikir yang sangat kompleks, tapi dengan orangnya yang sangat setia ketika bisa mendapati nilai sentimental untuk dipertahankan.

Mengisi kesehariannya sebagai seorang Koki, walau dengan segala batas, Boris senantiasa gigih merawat permata hijau nya jauh dari kesibukan kota, yang bisa mengirim kita ke suatu tempat aman dan tenang yang selalu kita cari.

Menjadi seorang koki dengan latar belakang biotechnology adalah hal yang langka, apalagi dengan pilihan Boris untuk mendalami karir di industri hijau, sebuah perjalanan yang sangat berani dan membuat kita semua bertanya-tanya.

‘Kita semua punya citarasa dan pengalaman yang berbeda, dan bereaksi secara beragam.

Dalam urban plantings pun harus kita coba bayangkan dimana kita saling berkenalan.

Siapakan mereka, apa yang mereka suka dan bagaimana mereka bereaksi. Dari situ saya langsung mengerti tanaman apa yang cocok untuk menjadi sahabat orang tersebut.

Lepas dari segala fungsi tanaman sebagai permbersih racun di udara, tida pernah tersirat di pikiran kita bahwa tanaman hijau bisa menjadi hadiah yang romantic, dimana mawar lebih dikenal sebagai simbol kasih sayang.

‘Bayangkan sepasang cincin di dalam rangkaian sukulen, itu saja sudah menjadi sebuah simbol kepercayaan, untuk bisa menjaga tanaman ini bersama. Itu adalah sebuah komitmen’.

A BLACK VOYEUR in the shadows that defies

58 | THE SQUAD

MOXQITTO is a humble design-led film production suite in Medan. But beyond that, they are time travellers, collector of memories, and a knight in shining armour that will freeze any memories for us all. If a photograph says a thousand words, how many words would that be for film? Infinite.

MOXQITTO, or who we’d like to call the dark knights, pioneered the DSLR cinematography movement in Medan ever since Canon invented the first DSLR with video recording function. Since then they have been the true witness of true love and the birth of great brands in Medan.

What is different about these team of artistic mavens are their sincere passion, and that laid-back nature that gives their clients a sense of ease, acceptance and appreciation.

In the creative world that is so often competitive in nature, MOXQITTO approach competition through endearment and encouragement, providing place that allows the members to creatively explore their passion and grow as a united family, and if all else fail, always count on humour.

MOXQITTO is available for hire for wedding, commercial and corporate projects. For a preview of their works, check them out on Instagram at @moxqitto or their website www. moxqitto.net. Hire them so they don’t starve!

SANCTUARY coffeenatics It was a perfect Sunday morning. The breeze was enough to bring us a little chill to enjoy the warmth of morning coffee.Perhaps it was the coffee, or the conversation, but that day, we were delightfully drawn to Coffeenatics. The friendly faces, the simplicity of the dishes, the music, everything reminds us of one important thing, a sense of belonging.

Food is a sentiment, a novelty for us.

With the growing trend of cafes, it’s easy to fall under the trap of mainstream classifications where quality is the last priority. Coffeenatics however, takes their coffee culture to the next level, not shying away from educating their customers with what coffee that would compliment their food best.

Selecting the right coffee for your meal is like choosing the right partner. Every coffee has distinct characteristics that can be intensified. If you’re a fan of meat, it is best to keep your coffee strong to match the richness. While lighter flavored breakfast that contains fruits, grains or nuts are best matched with fruitier African coffees.

62 | SANCTUARY

To dear coffee fanatics, Coffeenatics should be your nest, located slightly hidden from the inner part of the city, it’s almost as if we have discovered a hidden gem in this bustling Medan Metropolitan.

For the ladies, the brunch menu is beautifully served with the vibrant color from their toasted muesli, making your instagram filled with envious feeds. If you prefer simpler choices, the cheese and mushroom omelets is a strong tribute to our favorite comfort food, with the warm cheese as the reason to smile on every bite that we indulge.

Food as we all know, does not need to be complex to be good, it could look so dashing but taste is what matters, and every flavor must set us all on a frenzy. Keeping that in mind, the sautéed mushroom with sprinkles of feta cheese is one adventure that we never wanted to end, the gentle crunch, and the herbs that combines everything into moments of joy.

Just like a puzzle, Coffeenatics has all the right pieces, all in the right places.

And to that we say, Welcome home.

MEMOIRS It was not long ago that Medan celebrated the birth of great talents from various industry. From fashion, photography, and music, it was a gala where everyone gathers and witness greatness. Medan is truly a growing metropolitan where grace is met with style and humility. People are filled with curiousity to what is the next innovation to give them an experience of a lifetime. Life is a glamorous potential where we are privileged to meet different people, different vibe, but share a common ground where personality shines and friendship are made. The gala that celebrated one of Medan’s creative salon, featuring
