Fabulous Foneke “It’s all about fashion, from shopping to designing clothes”, says Foneke Kho when asked about her hobby. Fashion is also her passion that led to the establishment of her clothing line under the brand Foorie. “The idea to start my clothing line came from my penchant for unique design. Foorie offers simple casual dress in elegant design. The combination of simplicity and elegance is what makes the brand unique,” she says while showing her designs from her mobile device. Foneke’s passion for fashion also explains why she puts New York, San Francisco and Hong Kong as her favourite destinations. “Of course sightseeing is always fun when travelling to these cities, but what also make the three cities attractive to me are shopping venues that house many famous brands.” In elaborating on her favourite fashion labels, Foneke says she likes Cavalli for elegant design, Farah Khan for casual wear, and JPG for awesome accessories. “What makes me frustrated sometimes is that I can’t find the collections from these brands in Surabaya,” she says with a laugh. In her daily life, regardless of how busy she is, Sunday is where she spends quality family time with her husband and their two children. “Church is where we start our Sunday before doing other activities, like having a culinary fun for example,” she further says. Speaking of food, Japanese and Indonesian cuisines are what she likes the most. “Yet, I also appreciate other culinary fares, such as Italian food.”
