Jakarta, 4 September 2013 – A female mood in fashion could swing every now and then. Some days you want to be girly, the others you just want to put on a feisty Mohawk. Dressing up could be a fun and personal experience when one has to face her multi-layered emotion every day. Thankfully, we found OLIVIA HARRIS by Joy Gryson during our trip in the big apple that fit this ever-altering mood of women everywhere.
