JAKARTA - The Citayam Fashion Week polemic is finally over. Baim Wong stated that he would revoke the IPR registration in the name of the event on Tuesday, July 26.

On the same day, Baim Wong and Paula Verhoeven made a clarification regarding this IPR registration. They call it part of their way of supporting a potentially widespread phenomenon.

Baim Wong Wants to Develop Fashion

"If I want to take it ambitiously, it's impossible. I asked Bonge's permission to do that. At 9 o'clock I Whatsapp him and I told him my plan," said Baim Wong.

Baim Wong himself did not explain whether he found the person who initiated Citayam Fashion Week. But he emphasized his good intentions to support the Indonesian fashion industry.

“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?” Baim Wong explained.

Baim registered the IP with the aim of using Citayam Fashion Week to be more organized.

Bonge Not So Involved in Citayam Fashion Week

Bonge and his friend Willie Salim claimed to know Citayam Fashion Week but they did not know how it was developed. Because when Bonge was offered to join, they were asked to entrust all matters to Baim Wong.

Therefore, Bonge was not fully involved in the registration of intellectual property rights regarding Citayam Fashion Week.

“If you met, the most recent time you met Mas Baim, he said he wanted to make a fashion week event, the Citayam fashion was to build Citayam, all the results. But because the intentions are good, we will do it, "said Willie.

“Our side and Bonge don't really understand IPR, Bonge works every day in Sudirman, writing content. If Sis Baim said, "Just believe in Sis Baim" he explained.

Bonge only knew that Baim Wong intended to donate Rp. 500 million for the construction of Citayam. The rest, they know nothing.
