JAKARTA - Baim Wong and Paula Verhoeven decided to revoke the registration of Intellectual Property Rights (HAKI) registered with the Ministry of Law and Human Rights through PT Tiger Wong Entertainment. Together with Bonge, they raised their voices regarding the registration of intellectual property (IP) for Citayam Fashion Week which was controversial.

They explained why they did the IP registration. The following is a summary of the five statements of the couple Baim Wong and Paula Verhoeven about Citayam Fashion Week:

Inspired by Paula

Paula Verhoeven was one of the public figures who came to the Sudirman sidewalk to see the Citayam Fashion Week movement. He even appeared walking with Bonge, one of the leaders on the sidewalk.

"I first had the idea when Paula came there," said Baim Wong today, Tuesday, July 26.

Baim Wong was surprised to see the number of teenagers who appeared to just visit the area. He also considers it shifts the term fashion only the upper class can do it.

Time to do research

Baim and Paula thought of turning the phenomenon into something serious. As a result, they immediately registered Citayam Fashion Week as intellectual property.

"If I want to take it ambitiously, it's impossible. I asked Bonge's permission to do that. At 9 I whatsapp him and I tell him my plan. As simple as I ask, who has it?” Baim Wong explained.

“If anyone has one, I would like to ask permission to make a CFW. Because there are already such large numbers, the government or public figures must have a role in raising it, not just being a movement," he added.

Want to Match Fashion Week

Fashion Week is a momentum in the fashion world. Not only in Indonesia, fashion week has become an annual event in several countries.

Seeing this, Baim Wong thought of making an event bigger than Jakarta Fashion Week.

“It's very rare for middle and lower class people to enjoy fashion and suddenly we're enjoying all kinds of people in one place. It's as simple as let's make it," he said.

Admit Something's Wrong

Baim Wong's decision to register IP Citayam Fashion Week became a controversy. Many think he is deliberately taking advantage of this phenomenon.

"My mistake was that the communication was not clear to you, even before I took the IP, I talked to Bonge first," said Baim Wong.

“I was a bit sad when I read that I was taking advantage of the rich and the poor because it was so far from what I thought. But again, it's not all their fault because the information for them is incomplete," he added.

Want to Support Indonesian Fashion

Baim Wong admitted that he might be in the same position as the community if he saw this. However, he emphasized that he and his wife wanted to develop the fashion industry so that it could be reached by all people.

“This move is big for Indonesian fashion, so now Paula understands better because of her field. Not all of them are in school, he can hang out 12 hours, 6 months. Who wants to coordinate if not us?” kat Baim Wong.

"Our intention is to facilitate facilitating the development of their intentions and talents in academic and non-academic terms," explained Paula Verhoeven.
