PFW S/S 2012 Day 6
So, if I’m your facebook friend, you would have noticed that this photo is my current profile photo. :) This was taken on PFW Day 6, and has attracted a lot of likes. Harhar. Come to think of it, I do look rather sexy in this ensemble, yes?

Vans - PFW S/S 2012
Vans Philippines unveils the brand’s latest offerings at the Mall Of Asia grand Atrium. The event was hosted by Troy Montero and Juliann Salvard, and accompanied by a DJ on the side. The show was a tad bit short, unlike the other shows I’ve been to thus far. Nonetheless, the pieces were wearable, fun, youthful, refreshing, and street savvy, as expected of the brand. The portion that got my attention the most though, was the Hello Kitty portion. haha I’ve been a Hello Kitty fan since I was a kid, so it was obvious that this would catch my eye. I’ve picked a few pieces which I liked, and you’d see them later on in this post.
Here are my favorite pieces from the show:

In between the shows, there was this BMX rider who did an exhibition. I’m telling you, I held my breath as I watched because some of the stunts the guy did was pretty dangerous. Anyway, aside from the BMX rider, there were also skateboarders who abused the inclined ramp.
Celebrities also walked in the show:
Diana Menezes
Krista Kleiner
Jhong Hilario
It was a pity I didn’t get decent shots of Jhong dancing on the runway, I swear he even did an aerial among all those stunts he did, if my eyes were right. He’s actually pretty good.

Hunter!

PFW S/S 2012 Day 5
For day 5, I got to go to the Vans show, I actually got there really late, so I had bad seats. Anyway, you know the drill, OOTD first!
Dress: Shop The Runway | Wedges : ALDO
Peace Ring and Classic Ring Set: Peaches On Top | other accessories: gifts, and random stores
Oh and if you think you’ve seen this dress before, well, you might remember this dress from this post. Plus, I believe repeating outfits is not a crime. haha (excuses for not having a huge enough wardrobe.)
Runway report next!

Eric Delos Santos - PFW S/S 2012
Eric Delos Santos makes a statement with bold graphic prints, sheer, flowy fabric and shiny leather. With blue, and black being the collection’s dominant colors, it was surprising that even with a relatively blah palette, the pieces really stood out. Soft feminine pieces were given that much needed edge by cinching with the essential leather belt, whereas textures were also at play. Overall, it was a stunning sight to behold.
With Marina Benipayo opening and closing the show, and with other prominent models (Danica Magpantay, Claire James, etc..) walking as well, you would expect an equally awe inducing collection.
Note: I was able to watch the designer’s Holiday 2011 collection last season, and I must say, he never disappoints, still one of the best ones during PFW.

Lizanne Cua - PFW S/S 2012
Fluid, luxe, simple, and solid, these are but a few words that would describe the Lizanne Cua for SMDC collection. The use of flowy fabric greatly flattered the female silhouettes, whereas the solid colors are apt for spring-summer.

Chris Diaz - PFW S/S 2012
A video played at the beginning of the show, it showed the preview of the designer’s TECHIHHILA collection.
The Chris Diaz collection was reminiscent of the ocean, and beaches, as the prominent colors were blue, khaki, and bit of peach, salmon and violet accents here and there. Definitely wearable, the pieces also boast of the use of shells and other indigenous materials, and turn otherwise blah accessories into something luxe.

PFW S/S 2012 Day 4 - SMDC Presents
For my Day 4, I was able to watch SMDC presents Chris Diaz, Lizanne Cua, Eric Delos Santos Show. Thank you Boggy and Chris Diaz for the invites!
Once you enter the SMDC GrandShowroom, you’ll be greeted by pink uniformed ladies who will direct you to the buffet. iwasn’t expecting that as I only prepared myself for the fashion show. Nonetheless, the food was great, Hizon’s never disappoints. :)
At the event, guests were invited to go to the second floor to view the model units that the SMDC condominiums offer. (photos after the jump) Lucky for Fran and I, we were able to take a few shots of the model units before the guards told us to stop. Ha! Sneaky sneaky. LOL
The program started a bit late, but the wait was well worth it, the pieces were stunning. more on that in later posts. The event was hosted by the awesome Sarah Meier, with an appearance by Anne Curtis at the end of the show as SMDC endorser.
My sister and I got e-vites, but I still had an extra two normal invites so I brought along my Mom, and my brother Nathan’s girlfriend, Joyce.
Say hello to Fran and her cousin Bea. :)

And before I forget, OOTD! I didn’t want my whole look to be all black and white so I decided to throw on red pieces for pops of color.

Arnold Galang - PFW S/S 2012
Since the designer’s collection consisted of 45 looks, I decided to take 15 favorites to post here, and my very own decent shots of the other looks.
Arnold Galang succesfully executes chic flexible ensembles for the everyday woman. Flattering silhouettes dominate, while architectural contruction make the looks soft, and yet edgy, definitely something that would catch one’s eye. :)
photo above, middle look was my favorite! I love ze jacket!

Guess - PFW S/S 2012
Sir Bang (a.k.a. the Coolest Professor EVER) gave me tickets to the Guess show. I was actually planning to bring Fran, but due to time restrictions, I brought Z along instead. I had a lot of fun in this one, prolly because this one had free food, drinks, and booze. and yes, i can finally say I had a drink with my Pharmacy professor, even if it was just one drink each. LOL
Animal prints made an appearance in the show, as well as a lot of laid back comfortable outfits (Gingham & Plaid dominating that group). The party outfits, as well as the sexy sassy ones were also good as well. The styling was exceptional too, definitely giving that Hollywood vibe. Overall I think the first Guess PFW show was a huge success, not to mention it had a huge turnout! :)
Maxene Magalona leads the pack.

L'Oreal presents Michael Cinco - PFW S/S 2012
It has been a dream of mine to be able to see Michael Cinco’s creations on the runway, ever since I saw his eco-friendly gowns on ANTM Cycle 16. So when L’Oreal had this twitter Giveaway, I joined, and won two invites for the show.
above is a photo of the whole collection
Michael Cinco
This gown was my favorite piece :)
The highlight of the show was when model Claire James literally showered at the center. It was a sight to behold, not to mention she was very graceful with her movements, fluid indeed.
