Level one is a young Fashion Street District in Grand Indonesia Mall, Jakarta.

Most of the clothes are up-to-date, affordable, and stylist. The price range is IDR 100,000-up ($15-up, EUR 10-ish)

The quality of the clothes is better than I was expected. The payment method is collect all the bills and pay it at the cashiers.

d. Geulis

This name been exist long time ago, however they just launched their store up in Level one. The dresses are cool, shoes, and also neckless. I put my attention to this store cause they use batik as Indonesian famous clothes.

e. T-shirt (forgotten the name)

So, the concept of the store is to bring up the motives of batik. They put the motive of the batik on top of basic t-shirt. The t-shirt is very comfortable, however they have only one size for girls, but any sizes for guys. Kiddo wont be forgotten cause they make it for kids (3-6years old)

4. Marc Jacobs

American young talented awesome homosexual designer..one of my favorite!!! Marc Jacobs..

Marc Jacobs was born on 1963 in New York. He was born to be a designer, he used to design for couple of designer when he was young.

Now he has been working under Louis Vuitton Company since 1997 as Creative Director. In the other hand, he owns his own line Marc Jacobs, and also Marc by Marc Jabobs for less expensive price. He just married with Lorenzo!!!

(Lorenzo&Marc-Wedding)

He also join with Robert Duffy for his company. Duffy supports him by his way and all the time. they have been working together and earn tons of money for them. Both of them have their own company right now.

After several years exist, Marc backed by Japanese Company which is make him very famous in Japan and boys or girls love him.

Guys, Marc jacobs is successfully attract his customer. His Advertising is absolutely attractive and also he has simple vintage but look expensive ads. His trademark is bag with chain which is very easy to recognize. His designs are very simple, but looks more high-class, fashionable . (dress,shoes,bags and accessories are cool)

He also has his own perfume line, he also uses very very very unique bottle, the package looks stunning (-same as Anna Sui)

(Lola-Marc Jacobs 2009)

3. Balenciaga

Couple years ago Nicole Richie wore this handbags almost everyday. I believe she has every color and every size of this bag.

Balenciaga invented by Cristobal Balenciaga, he is Spanish. After Spain Civil War he moved to Paris and started his career.

Currently,Balenciaga owned by Gucci group. Balenciaga designer is Ghesquière however since these couple of years they didn't really hit the fashion market which may make him get fired. -The clothes collection wasn't good lately-according what i have seen the collection looks boring slash old, nothing can make the people impressed.

Balenciaga just launched their newest parfume (i havent smell it! anyone?) However, lately Balenciaga's commercial was hideous. Cheap and people dont get it as a lavish brand

My opinion : I love balenciaga bags! Designer keeps the trademark of balenciaga and eye-catchy!
