Happy CNY From Sydney Gong Xi Fat Choy
Gong Xi Fat Choy!
Happy Chinese New Year to my dear friends and
families.
Chinese or Lunar New Year, popularly known as CNY, is
no longer an exclusive event to the Chinese or Chinese-descendant community.
Currently, CNY is celebrated in almost every corner
of the world, from Jakarta to New York and from Rio de Janeiro to Paris.
Sydney is not an exception.
With thriving Chinese descendant communities who accounted
for four percent of Australia’s population and increasing Chinese tourism,
Sydney is the hub of Chinese community in the Australia and Pacific region.
In 2016, JET gets to witness a festive CNY which is
not only seen by the Lion Dance performance in the bustling Hay Market area,
a.k.a. Sydney’s famous China Town, but also by the Chinese lantern and statues
erected in the elegant promenades in Martin Place and Pitt Street Mall.
Fashionistas, in addition to Christmas and Easter,
CNY is also celebrated by leading international fashion brands. From Burberry
to Bottega Veneta, Christian Louboutin to Prada, all provide impressive window
display and limited edition items to mark the year of the Monkey.
But the highlight
for this year’s CNY in Sydney is on the fashion industry.
As a part of City
of Sydney’s official 2016 Sydney Chinese New Year Festival, David Jones,
Australia’s most luxurious department store, curated a unique collection in
celebration of the CNY. This collection features Chinese designers fashion from
thirteen of China’s most exciting ready-to-wear labels and three accessory
collections including jewellery and sunglasses. This collection will be
presented on the 11th of February 2016. Be certain that JET will be
among the first viewers to review the collection. J
These all stand as testament how the Chinese culture
is widely spread and deeply respected among all nations and citizens of the
world, including Australians.
Needless to say more, scroll through following photos
of mine to see the glorious celebration of CNY
As we draw a close to the year of Goat –JET’s Chinese
horoscope-, let us give thanks to God for His blessings to us in the previous
year. Also, may the year of the Monkey continues to brings us prosperity and
longevity.

Ps. Catatan
Kecil untuk Rekans Diplomat dan Sahabats Fashionista, bagaimana cara anda turut
merayakan Tahun Baru China atau yang lebih dikenal dengan Imlek di Indonesia?
Coba cara saya tampil dengan mengenakan busana berwarna merah tanpa meninggalkan
jati diri kita sebagai bangsa Indonesia. Pilihlah busana warna merah atau cerah
yang terbuat dari Batik, Ikat, Tenun, Karawang, Ulos, atau kain-kain
tradisional Nusantara lainnya. Padu padankan dengan asesoris yang simple tetapi
catchy dan you will be the star of the Chinese New Year’s luncheon! Not only
that you will look as one of a kind but also a boldly stylish one of a kind!
Well, hello there Three Wise Monkeys!
See no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil!
