Philippine Fashion Week 2010 Opening Night

May 26, 2010 – Media personalities, models, bloggers, and fashion aficionados came together once again to witness the opening of the largest fashion event in the country – The Philippine Fashion Week.

It was a dream come true for a reluctant fashionista like me to attend The Philippine Fashion Week. Fashionistas and guests alike were at their best “Fashionably Chic” attire. I even spotted female celebrities like Ms. Desiree del Valle and Mrs. Christine Jacob-Sandejas all glammed up for the night. And oh boy, I was so lucky to occupy one of the front seats in the show.

SM Department Store officially started the fashion week showcasing its latest collections in three (3) categories: Ladies Wear, Accessories, and Shoes. Through the years, SM provided us with stylish yet practical fashion finds. Now they’ve even raised it a notch higher featuring pieces for resort, casual, work, and evening for the ladies wear. These collections mirror the very lifestyle of a modern Filipina who works at her office 5-6 times a week, parties with her girlfriends on Friday nights, spends time with her loved ones during weekends, and on vacations she goes to the beach to relax and have fun. Certainly, SM understands that SHE needs to accomplish them all in style.

RESORT. On focus were an impressive display of resort clothes in solid colors, floral, stripes, and sexy animal prints in flowing fabrics. We can enjoy the beach all year round with bikini tops and bottoms, tank tops, wraps and skirts, cover-ups and tunics, and beach pants.

CASUAL. The casual wear collection exudes total femininity with an array of playful dresses in rainbow colors and abstract prints. These are perfect clothes for shopping time, movie dates, and coffee with friends.

WORK. The office collection consisted mostly of collared blouses and ruffled shirts, high-waisted slacks and skirts, plus glamorous frocks – all in neutral colors.

EVENING. Pinays work hard but they play harder! The evening collection in basic black and white is especially created for intimate dinners, cocktails, late night parties, and clubbing.

If you’ve been wondering what brand of gorgeous shoes the models wore at the event, well it’s none other than “Parisian“. Yes you’ve read that right! Gone were the old-fashioned sandals with thick heels your granny or your mother used to wear. After taking on a 360-degree turn and having their debut last October 2009, Parisian shoes stepped out in style again this 2010 for more daring collections – Re-Belle with a Cause, Natural Palette in Beige, and Natural Palette in Blush. Wearing these “revamped” shoes will give you sexy gams in no time!

WWW (What Women Want) accessories also made its runway debut. Bib necklaces, Cleopatra cuff bracelets, and classic pieces from their Gold Collection ruled the runway for accentuating each outfit perfectly. Also featured was MSENSE (Men’s Accessories) consisting of fedora hats, functional bags, scarves, and shades. Both are exclusive SM accessories brands.

I had my eyes on this laced top & gold ballerina skirt combo. I think it’s time for shopping! Ciao!

Manish Arora Spring Summer 2010 collection at Paris Fashion Week

I declare Friday 2nd October Manish Arora Day in celebration of his fantastic Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010 collection.

The collection debuted yesterday at The Crazy Horse in Paris and was sci-fi-tastic! Models looked like beautiful intergalactic travelers adding drama to the collection which was heavily adorned with Swarovski crystals.

The collection showcased structured, crystalized shapes and silhouettes with Indian inspired fabrics and embellishment. Draped chains and fabric and hot pink embellishment gave a feminine feel, and balanced the armoured shoulder pieces. Sci-fi wardrobe departments take note, this is how it’s done!

It’s easy to see why he has such a huge fan base worldwide and in his native India, including fashion critics and celebrities. Katy Perry and Lady Gaga are fans and are often seem in his dramatic and beautiful creations. Lady Gaga was recently spotted in this jewel encrusted beauty while flashing her vampires fangs (someones been looking through the SS 2010 Wildfox lookbook!)

Happy Manish Arora Day!

Paris Fashion Week Spring 2010: Gareth Pugh

Bonjour, it’s Paris Fashion Week! Gareth Pugh, fashion prince of darkness, is back with a softer side. His front row boasts big names such as Rihanna, Michael Stipe, Terence Koh, and Adrian Grenier from Entourage. This time, his designs are more floaty and less structured like last season. If you ask me, the models look like anime characters. Villians or Superheroes? You decide. I am quite curious to see where he got his inspiration from – manga? anime? I am thrilled that Pugh has moved on from his hard, shape silhouette to a more romantic side – it’s like a breath of fresh air. You can easily see for yourself.

The Long…

… and Short of Gareth Pugh.

Things you can do with paper shredder. I’m just kidding.

Metallic goddess.

Now, this is what I call the “superhero” look.

OOH, LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Do you think this is appropriate office wear? I’d like to wear these to work.

The guys were not spared by Pugh – lookin’ sharp, boys!

Christian Dior Couture: Cruise 2010/Lady Dior in Shanghai

This year, Shanghai has succeeded in being labeled the “Paris of the East”. Having hosted the most prominent runway shows of Summer and Fall 2010, John Galliano added to the mix on Saturday with the Christian Dior Cruise 2011 Show. A flirtatiously-styled “Parisian Chic” is what the Dior Cruisewear show brought to China’s rapidly-growing fashion capital. Galliano’s fashion house is the latest to make a major splash within the Chinese luxury market.

Inspired by mod-chic and French cinema, Galliano’s latest ensembles projected a pretty, “Barbie doll”-like appearance using the label’s trademark of exotic leathers and edgy details. The collection appeared very wearable, adding to the appeal of this fashion house, famous for its over-the-top designs in couture.

J’adore spokesmodel and actress Charlize Theron was present at the Shanghai show, draped in a stunning metallic strapless dress. Other front row guests included stylish soccer star-turned-Calvin Klein X model Hidetoshi Nakata (below, with Delphine Arnault) as well as actresses Helen Mercier and Zhang Yuki.

The city was truly abuzz with Dior, who also celebrated with yesterday’s re-opening of the Shanghai’s Plaza 66 flagship store. The event also marked the release of an exciting, limited collection of never-before-seen accessories from Lady Dior Blue. This year’s lush collection of leather handbags, jewelry and scarves, exclusive to the Shanghai boutique, continues to be inspired by the rich history of the ever-iconic fashion House of Dior.
