Massimo Dutti launches its boutique in Greenbelt 5 with a blast. Attended by Manila's elite and "fasyon" society, it was like a circus. Everywhere you turn your head, you'll see a familiar face.
Models, socialites, designers, E-I-C, PR mavens, Investors, Business tycoons, they party the best and the posh-iest! Mr Fernando Zobel de Ayala and Kitkat Zobel just roaming around without guards? I love their humility and money.

Trishan CuasoThe LV shirt I heart Lonely boy

My favorite collection

Mitch Dulce's model

Rissa Samson

In the hype of recession, Ayala Mall decided to have Fashion show for Greenbelt 3 tenats last May 29, 2009. Some brands offered discounts and some free refreshments. I had a close encounter with the models I love for the first time in my lifetime stalking career. You can finally see who's really good looking, who's not, who has big pores, who has smooth skin and who's really skinny. Across LV store was my crush then, Trishan Cuaso who was a little snob. I called him but he didn't turn around and didn't smile at all. hay....He's really good looking.

Assistant goes to Swarovski Event: Heaven on the 5th Rustans

Caffeine needs for the day
The Gaga origami

April 25, 2009 at the Heaven on the 5th, Rustans Makati was the launch of the Endangered Wildlife Swarovski Collection. Anton Hirzinger made 2 impressive gorilla crystal figurines in faceted black diamond crystal. It depicts Mother and child bonding from the wilderness. It was a sight to behold. However, this event was a lil to old for me and my friends so after the luncheon and the mini film showing we hurried off to get some coffee in the nearest starbucks. We found an origami page in a magazine and decided to make a dragon's tail body ornament and copy Lady Gaga's costume.

Assistant goes to Fashion Show: Philippine Fashion Week

holy Marc Nelson!

jacket:comme des Garcons, shirt: Jil Sander, Pvc leegings: Zara, Vest:topman

Luckily, Im getting invites from my designer friends not because of my job. I always thought of Fashion Week as glamorous as the way NYC and Milan do. Here its well celebrated yes, but not as posh as it should be. why?

• Seating arrangements are not being followed
• Runways start late
• They don't give out loot bags, if they do, it has been snagged by your seatmate
  
  

This year I only attended the first day of the fashion week, May 26, 2009, 6:00pm at the SMX Convention. There were the SM Runway, The Marlon Rivera show and The Premier Collection A which includes Angelo Estera, Jerome Ang, Joel Escober, Randall Solomon, Raoul Ramirez and Yako Reyes. I'ts really fun to see beautiful clothes and beautiful people, make you feel almost like a model too. But when the time had come for me to see Marc Nelson with his buddy (Tisha Silang's Bf), I was just speechless and petrified. He had the perfect smile, tone and jaw. My lips didn't open for seconds and I was too late to take pictures of him. However I found this picture from http://www.runway2reality.com/ taken the same night. hay.. I wish I had a picture of us together.

Next stop: Baguio City

This is what I call C-list Fashion Show. SM Baguio Marketing Team organized a Fashion show participated by the tenants to celebrate its Centennial Month. Yes Brand X is one of SM's most loyal tenant. They borrowed a few clothes from the boutique, styled a lil and walah! There goes the soaked outdoor fashion show. I wish they could have anticipated the weather behavior in Baguio... Final Verdict: Disaster!
