A Designer’s Christmas Bash!

Monday, December 21st, 2009

One of my favorite people in the fashion industry is Randy Ortiz. I have known Randy my entire career and he has been one of the nicest people. Each year, he hosts a Christmas party uniting all of his friends in fashion. I was not able to take my camera so I am borrowing the great photos of JC Buendia.

Randy Ortiz is in the center holding the cake of our December birthday celebrtants!  Jing Monis, Toots Tolentino, Marco Protacio and Roan Espino.

Mango Mania!

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

I was invited to the 10th year anniversary bash of the fashion brand MANGO.  Nix and I were really psyched to go because Nix’s classmate from grade school Michael Coson heads Mango here in the Philippines. The event was held at the NBC Tent in the Fort. When we arrived, I immediately loved the chill out vibe of the party.

The tent was decorated like it was some really cool club. Great live music was playing and they were serving lots of drinks and bar food. The energy of the event was really cool, as there were so many young people and they were all so stylish! I had such a great time taking photos and just celebrating with MANGO! I mean, 10 years is a major milestone!  Congratulations!!!!

I spotted the beautiful Teresa Herrera with Mr. Victor Siasat.

The Heathers!

Friday, September 4th, 2009

I decided to end my work day early to attend the launch of “Heather Miss Grey.”  This is the new collection by Cecile Van Straten for the super cool store Bleach Catastrophe.  I wanted to come early so I could get my hands on the collection! I was so sure that if I came late, there would be nothing else I could buy! LOL!

This collaboration was so special because Cecile sadly does not design anymore. She gave it up to be a business magnate! (She owns the super fabulous Pepper Lunch.)  When I heard about the collaboration, I was super thrilled! The collection was really beautiful!! The cotton they used was super soft and the shapes and prints of the designs were very intelligent! I was a really happy shopper! LOL! So for all of you fashion folk….hear me! THIS COLLECTION IS A MUST!!!!! Go there and buy na! I am not sure that this will happen again!

Bleach Catastrophe always has the coolest merchandising!

People started to wear the collection the minute they bought it. It was as if they could not help themselves!  I love how Cecile's work lends itself to interpretation and independent personal style.

This tunic/dress is really a winner!  I fell in love with the print the second I saw it. Did I mention that the collection is like so well priced?  IT IS!
