Laksmi DeNeefe Suardana is Bali’s first Puteri Indonesia and Miss Universe Indonesia 2022. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in the Business of Fashion from Polimoda, Italy – one of the food capitals of the world. While her advocacy and life mission is to promote education, literacy, women empower and sustainability, she is also passionate about Indonesia’s diversity in it’s culture and of course cuisine, its maritime spice history and healing ingredients. Being away from home for eight years, she often cooked her favourite Indonesian dishes and experimented with local ingredients. Food, fashion, wellness, stories, culture and philanthropy are some of the things bringing her the most joy.
Laksmi DeNeefe Suardana adalah orang Bali pertama yang menjadi Puteri Indonesia dan Miss Universe Indonesia 2022. Ia meraih gelar Sarjana di bidang Bisnis Fashion dari Polimoda, Florence, Italia – salah satu ibukota makanan dunia. Selain memiliki kegiatan advokasi dan misi hidup untuk menggalakkan pendidikan, minat baca, pemberdayaan perempuan dan keberlanjutan, ia juga mencintai keragaman kebudayaan dan, tentu saja, hidangan Indonesia, sekaligus sejarah rempah maritim dan bahan-bahan menyembuhkan dari negeri tersebut. Merantau jauh dari rumah selama delapan tahun, ia seringkali memasak masakan Indonesia favoritnya dan bereksperimen dengan bahan-bahan lokal. Makanan, fashion, kesehatan, cerita-cerita, kebudayaan dan filantropi adalah beberapa hal yang paling membuatnya bahagia.
