What is your first name?

My first name is Haekal, so you can call me Haekal or Shafar (my middle name).

Where do you currently reside and work?

I am studying at the Islamic University of Indonesia in Yogyakarta and staying temporarily in a boarding house, but I live in Bogor.

What is your educational background?

I last attended a vocational school, but I am pursuing a BAS in Digital Business at the Islamic University of Indonesia (UII).

What are other details of experiences, work or otherwise, that have led you to your current work?

Currently, I am working on my final assignment in creating a fashion brand from scratch.

How would you describe your practice/business?

FFV (Future Freak Visual) is an independent fashion brand focused on contemporary streetwear with an experimental visual twist. We combine visual narratives inspired by Y2K, futurism, and street culture to create collections that are not just clothing, but also a medium for expression. FFV is committed to creating work that is relevant, progressive, and able to build emotional connections with the young fashion community.

What are the highlight projects in your career so far?

1. One of the highlight projects in my career so far is the launch of FFV's debut collection, which introduced the "Future Freak" concept by combining a streetwear identity with futuristic visual exploration.
2. I carried out an experiment with digital branding through a visual campaign on social media, where I integrated Y2K aesthetics with fashion storytelling.
3. I developed a business plan and project proposal for FFV as part of the brand's roadmap to enter the fashion industry more professionally.

What are you currently working on?

Currently, I am focusing on developing and perfecting the first samples for FFV’s upcoming collection. This stage is exciting because it is where the ideas and visual concepts finally take shape into wearable pieces. The upcoming project I am most excited about is the debut release of FFV, which will mark the brand’s first step into the fashion scene with a strong visual identity and experimental streetwear direction.

Alongside building FFV, I am currently seeking internship opportunities in the creative and fashion industries. This experience will not only help me expand my professional network and skills but also align directly with my final thesis project, which focuses on developing a sustainable and impactful fashion business.
