I think Kate has a lot of fun when she designs and it really shows.

How She Wore It: Mai Kaufman in Kate Torralba

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

I thought I recognized this outfit at Kate’s birthday show at Fabric last week.

Kate-Torralba-Holiday-2009

It’s a sexy twist to a dress, don’t you think? But I do like how Mai Kaufman styled it better.

Kate’s Giving Her Clothes Away

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

So what happens when this teeny designer moves up a size from double zero to (shock!) a size 0-2. She’s still as svelte as ever but Kate admits that a chunk of her self-designed wardrobe no longer fits her.

All you lucky twig thin fashionistas have a chance to score some of Kate’s pre-loved outfits. Just email me your name, age, and why you’d love to own one of these pieces at stylebible@stylebible.ph and Kate will pick the lucky entries.

I’ll post pics of some of the outfits soon.

Cheers!

Fashion Bites: Fabric featuring Kate Torralba

Friday, January 16th, 2009

I was a little disappointed with the turnout last night. I thought the place would be packed. Nonetheless, it was a fun evening (as would be expected from an event with Kate). So for those of you who couldn’t make it, here are my highlights.

Kate with her team. Check out her store manager, Nice Buenaventura. She’s totally channeling Agyness Deyn with her hat, glasses, and eclectic style.

Jun Poblador gave her a limited edition Bob Mackie Barbie doll. He said, “Check out the gown on this doll. When I saw it I thought of Kate right away.”

She performed three songs before the fashion show (very Tori Amos). She’s actually releasing an album soon so stay tuned. Here’s the gig sched I pulled off Facebook if you’d like to hear her sing live.

Jan 16 (Fri) – West Grand Boulevard Tour, Mag:Net High Street, The Fort 1030pm
Jan 23 (Fri) – Cafe Saguijo, San Antonio Village, Makati 10pm
Jan 28 (Wed) – The POP Shoppe, Gweilos, C. Palanca St., Makati 10pm
Jan 30 (Fri) – Anabel Bosch Fundraiser, Mag:Net High Street, The Fort 10pm

Backstage, we stalked the models a bit to see the tights better. Can you guess which legs belong to which model? Sanya, Bianca, Ornusa, Mia, and Raya are somewhere in this photo. I like the light gray lacey tights with a paisley-ish pattern.

I also thought this was cool.

Styling Tip: Layer a pair of textured tights over a pair of opaque ones for an interesting contrast. This blue and black combination was interesting. It’ll look great with either a simple LBD or a dominantly dark dress with textured fabric or pleating.

This is my favorite dress from the collection. I like the play of textures. I also went through a pink + brown phase a while back. This would have been perfect.

My favorite part of the night was all the dancing and random picture taking that came after the show. It’s been awhile. Haha! Must stick to my resolution to be more fun this year. This was a nice way to kickstart things.

Happy Happy Birthday Dear!
