Represent!
My mind is still abuzz. The recently concluded Philippine Fashion Week gave me that much needed kick of adrenaline and sugar rush all in one go.
Venue: Function Room 4, SMX Convention Center Seashell Drive, Mall Of Asia Complex, Pasay City
RSVP: Runway Productions
Attire: Fashionably Chic
HELL YEAH!
Sure, I know some may say it's a social climber's dream to attend but I was there to support a friend and learn a thing or two.
And maybe, just maybe drool over the models who were their to strut their stuff, Dammit!
From the first designer Benjie Manuel who spearheaded the glamorous Haute Couture Runway to June Pugat who appalled and mesmerized me with his silk screen paintings to Popoy Barba who marvelously closed the rest of the night, it was amazingly and wonderfully breath-taking.
Was there another strike of realization that came into my paranoid and superficial mind? Yes there is.
There is a lot of potential in the Philippine Fashion Industry. Forget Monique Lhuillier or Rafe Totengco, I mean designers who are here in the country, showcasing what they can offer to Filipinos and non-Filipinos residing in our country. It took me one Fashion Show, one hundred and sixty garments and hundreds of spectators to realize that. True, I have been an avid fan but only in tube level meaning watching Fashion Shows through our television, nothing more than that. So seeing them for the first time made my stomach full of butterflies and that pump, pump, pump you get after gulping down a doppio espresso. Each and every one of their creations is worth an applause. They are that great with their craftsmanship.
Model after model walking down the runway, garment after garment, my eyes got so full that I forgot about my rumbling and rambling stomach. Hahaha! Although I was fashionably late for the nth time, I was still able to see it from a far, far, view.
I loved every minute of it. I liked most of their creations. I salivated because of the male models. I pivoted my head 360 degrees to look for a potential, uhm, partner. And mind you, there are a lot. Call it Homosexual Heaven. You can literally sniff gayness from one feet radius.
P.S. Of the five that I have invited over to celebrate with me in this joyous event, only one came. Thanks, friends! NOT! :)
