SAPRANG!
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009My Newest Find!
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009I always get so excited when I meet young artisans. It’s like I want to share their talents to the world! From my recent trip to Bangkok, I discovered this brilliant accessories designer. They are actually a design team and they are….I need to take a deep breath… SIRIKARN JIRAJBHASKORNKUL & SUPOT SWUNNASING! Whew! LOL! Their line is called SAPRANG. This season’s collection is very romantic, but it has a real edge to it. The collection reminds me of fairy jewelry.
I brought a couple of limited pieces home to share with all of you! Please come visit the House of Laurel (Please call 028955688 loc. 808 and look for Cara or Lay for more information.) You must try them on! You will be pleasantly surprised to find out how really affordable the line is. My favorite piece is the petal cocktail ring, I love the way it moves as you gesture!

Bangkok International Fashion Fair: Part 2
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009This is part 2 of my fashion fair escapade. It’s actually the very first time my ready-to-wear company has joined a trade fair like this. We had to really prepare for it. We created look books, line sheets, swatch books and many other things. In a way, it was like a testing ground of sorts. We garnered a lot of inquiries and got a lot of positive feedback. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that we get some orders!
Everyone in my team had a wonderful time exploring the fair. I cannot help but compare how advanced the Thai designers are compared to us. I was like totally impressed with the workmanship and their aesthetic. They have so much government support and it really shows. I for one was really inspired, and even if the local fashion industry gets really minimal government support here, I am not daunted! The Filipino designer is really world class, we only need to be highlighted for us to shine! This day will come very soon! Count on it!
I loved this photo of Yoya against the graphic wall!
The fair had areas specifically geared to the upcoming trends. This is one trend for fall/winter 2010-2011.
The bigger picture of this trend called "clean." I am drawn to this.
The fair had a section for the young Thai designers. I liked this one!
Tim Yap flew in to write about the fair. Check out his "barong" vest. Here he is with designer Rhett Eala. Rhett created the famous "map" shirt for his brand Collezione 2.
The fair also had booths geared towards printed materials. You can create and order your own prints.
My team and I went nuts over the exotic skins! Check out this ostrich foot! I love it! It's creepy but it's so chic! They had also had tons of crocodile products in the fair! I have the good mind to design a couple of items for my line.
I loved this booth and its products!
They had a presentation of Thai designer Koi Suwannagate, a finalist for the Vogue-CFDA fashion fund last year. It's a contest for fashion designers where the winner gets a grant from Vogue and CFDA, not to mention a whole lot of press and attention. The winner this year was Alexander Wang.
These are Koi's clothes. She recycles cashmere and other luxury materials to create the most romantic and delicate pieces.
The Philippine Pavilion was very bright! It had lime green walls! LOL! We really stood out! This is my booth. I was showing my ballet collection.
This is the booth of Patrice. She is doing so many wonderful things with piña now! It's really amazing!
The Queen of Philippine knits Lulu Tan-Gan was there too! She is so fun to be with!
They gave us a mini show at the fair! They had a peek at my ballet collection.
This is Patrice's dyed piña dress collection. She really garnered a lot of interest with her dresses.
My friends Eddy Fung from Hong Kong and Roj Sangkasaba from Thailand paid me a visit! Thank you for dropping by!
The fair also had scheduled fashion shows twice a day. This show featured the young Thai designers.
I loved the stage setup! It's so bright!
I was really impressed!
