Fita Anggriani on Balancing Roles: 'Be Fully Present in Every Role'

Uniqlo has launched a special collaboration with Copenhagen-based womenswear designer Cecilie Bahnsen, titled “Shapes of Poetry.” This inaugural collection merges Bahnsen's signature craftsmanship with Uniqlo's LifeWear philosophy, focusing on comfort, quality, and everyday functionality.

At an event celebrating the collaboration in Jakarta, Indonesian actress Fita Anggriani discussed her journey navigating various roles as a woman, public figure, and mother. She expressed that embracing multiple roles enriches one's life, ultimately shaping a more complete individual. "It's not about choosing one and leaving the others, but letting them coexist," Anggriani stated. "Being a mother has made me braver in my career because we know who we are fighting for. For me, the important thing is to be fully present in every role I undertake."

The discussion also touched upon the evolution of personal style and self-perception, particularly among women. Anggriani noted that her fashion sense has transformed significantly since the early 2010s. While she still considers trends, she now prioritizes her core identity. "My fashion has definitely changed. The me of 2013 is very different from now in terms of style," she added. "The similarity might be that I still look at what's trending, but back then I tended to blindly follow the trend. Now, I can better discern what truly aligns with my core identity."

This sentiment mirrors the collection's ethos, which aims to empower wearers to find their own comfort and self-expression through clothing. The collection reflects a philosophy where fashion serves as a space for personal discovery and confidence.
