FASHION WATCH CLOSING SHOW

Was Ivarluski Aseron and Joey Samson. Thought it was really fitting that their designs ended the Fashion Watch Series. Their collections were both strong and beautiful. The type that made me (and I'm sure a whole lot of other women) want to rush backstage and make pakyaw all the clothes. Sorry that there's only Ivar's here. My cam bat was gasping for air already, and we were suppose to go to another event that night, Lourd De Veyra's book launch in Katipunan. But because it was stormy, wet, flooded and traffic everywhere, we had to turn back. I had to wait it out in the mall, hence my next blog post down there. Anyway, on to the show.

Ivarluski's pieces had statement rear details, like this leather jacket with scrunched up wings.



Some Rick Owens spotting on Kaye Tinga.

Mond, Mike, Carlos

Was happy to bump into Liz, haven't seen her in ages!!! And oh, I have a new haircut. Heeh.

Thats eeet, pansit.

JOEL ESCOBER FOR FASHION WATCH

Just got home from a two-hour Easter Vigil. Haven't attended one in a while. Thank goodness it was air-conditioned, and the lights were turned OFF for effect. Not that I was sleeping. Nooo. Heeh. It was better because it gave the mass a more solemn effect. (We had candles on) Halfway through it of course they turned it on to signify that Jesus has risen. Because I seldom get to go--having the chance to hear mass always makes me feel better. But since I got here on Thursday, I've been to 10 churches (for Bisita Iglesia) and a two hour mass. Check! Pogi points for my "good" book. I wanted to go to confession as well, but I think it was a majorest event for all the priests because there wasn't even one for anyone to confess to. Wow.

Anyway, sorry, I did say that I was going to update. But vacation mode took over and it was a marathon of movies and early nights in. In other words, *BLISSS* Siiiiigggh. =)

Anyway, heeeh. Back to fashion, this time, its Joel Escober for Fashion Watch.

Henjoy!








This is my favorite piece.

The end.

JUN ESCARIO FOR FASHION WATCH

I'm multi-tasking. I'm writing my column for Supreme as I'm writing this draft. I'm actually stumped on the other end so I figured maybe if I de-stress here, words would come out freely in the other.

Was anyone out on the roads earlier today? It was sooooooper, as in soooooper traffic because of that fire in Guadalupe. I seriously thought that my PMS was spiraling out of control because my patience quotient was running on unbelievable low, (as en I could almost feel heat radiating out of my hot head, migraine girl lang) couple that with unbelievable ***holic drivers who can't seem to wait for their turn, tear-hair-out-and-gnash my teeth frustration moment. Have you guys ever had that? Good thing I wasn't on my way to a meeting, that would have been even more stressful. Gasht.

Least theres shopping for consolation, to those who haven't been to the malls recently, Topshop and Topman are on sale since the 15th. And I thought I'd know that first since I practically live in the mall! Yup, still worth checking out though, I found these nice, tan, pleat-front trousers for only P1400 in Topman, but I was in a hurry earlier, no time to try it on. Will definitely go back tomorrow. And even a few pieces not marked as sale are on discount, I would know because half the items I picked that I wanted to pull out were from the regular racks--but I couldn't get it because it was also on sale. So try asking the SAs, that dress you've been eyeing on might be yours tomorrow!

Anyway, speaking of running low, I'm also almost empty on images to upload, no events till after Holy Week. Everything slows to a standstill come Thursday. Flying to Cebu to de-stress. I'm hoping I could take photos of local stylistas there, but I'm wondering when will I get the chance? And where? I'd really like to showcase Cebuano style naman, I'm pretty sure theres a lot! But how?

Well, least here's a start, Jun Escarios show for Fashion Watch. The luxury couturier from Cebu showcased his collection in his signature elegant, romantic classic-ness.

Congratulation Jun!

After the show I went backstage to take a closer look at the clothes.

Heres a few more that I liked but didn't get to photograph.

Somehow this suit reminds me of Alexa Chung.

And a secretary dress thats so 70s, I like.
