During the Dewi Fashion Knight event at the Jakarta Fashion Week, last week, a piece of Carmanita's design was sold at a charity auction for Rp 30 million. The auction was intended to help victims of natural disasters in Wasior, Mentawai, and Mount Merapi.
The fashion designer who was born in Bandung, July 10, 1956, was asked come up onto the stage, explaining the design, which was made of woven Makassar silk. "Why is it so quiet. For me, who is used to a riot, this atmosphere is too quiet," was the first sentence Carmanita said in the presence of an audience of about 750 persons.
Acting as an auctioneer wass Amir Sidharta and Sari Nila. The price was opened at Rp. 3 million, which quickly rose to number tens of million rupiahs and then reached over Rp. 20 million.
Finally the auction closed with the highest bidder being Raline Shah from Medan, North Sumatra, who lived in Singapore for some time. In addition to Carmanita's design, also designs by Lenny Agustin and Andreas Odang were also auctioned off.
"I wonder how I will wear it," said Raline who claimed to have come from a family of oil palm plantation owners, currently trying out a career as a model in Jakarta.
The auction results certainly surprised the fashion designer. "I am very happy, my drape top fetched Rp. 30 million for a charity for the victims of natural disasters. I am very proud," said Carmanita. (NMP)

Dalam acara Dewi Fashion Knight di Jakarta Fashion Week, pekan lalu, baju rancangan Carmanita terlelang seharga Rp 30 juta. Lelang ditujukan untuk membantu korban bencana alam di Wasior, Mentawai, dan Gunung Merapi.
Perancang busana kelahiran Bandung, 10 Juli 1956, itu diminta naik ke panggung, menjelaskan busana rancangannya yang terbuat dari tenun sutra Makassar. ”Kok sepi sekali. Buat saya yang biasa heboh, suasana ini sepi,” begitu kalimat pertama Carmanita di hadapan 750-an hadirin.
Sebagai juru lelang adalah Amir Sidharta dan Sari Nila. Harga dibuka dengan Rp 3 juta, dengan cepat naik ke angka belasan juta rupiah dan kemudian menembus Rp 20 juta.
Akhirnya lelang ditutup dengan penawar tertinggi Raline Shah asal Medan, Sumatera Utara, yang lama bermukim di Singapura. Selain baju rancangan Carmanita, juga dilelang baju karya Lenny Agustin dan Andreas Odang.
”Saya penasaran bagaimana cara memakai baju itu,” kata Raline yang mengaku berasal dari keluarga pengusaha perkebunan sawit dan baru menjajal karier sebagai model di Jakarta.
Hasil lelang tentu mengejutkan perancangnya. ”Saya bahagia sekali, baju atasan drape-ku dapat Rp 30 juta untuk sumbangan bencana alam. Saya sangat bangga,” ujar Carmanita.(NMP)
