Philippine Fashion Week 2008

Last Friday October 24 2008 is the fifth day of the Philippine Fashion Week 2008, an event held at the SMX Convention Center. It showcases the Spring Summer Collection 2009 (Hamilo Unveils the Luxe Wear Collection A), it Features designers Chris Diaz, Edgar San Diego, Harley Ruedas, Jerome Salaya Ang, Joel Escober, Jonite Martinez, Julius Tarog, Lizanne Cua, Mich Dulce, Ramon Favila, Rickie Abad, Roel Rosal, Roland Lirio, and Simon Ariel Vasquez.

A lot of people came in, especially from the upper class of the society and most everyone but not all are well dressed up for the event. It was a well organized event, from the attentive registration personnel to the friendly ushers. The venue arrangement is simple; that helps draw much of the guest’s attention to the show or the collections itself.

The designers have really exercised their creativity. Like the creations of Roel Rosal which really goes by his name; having his collections in nice shades of pink using lace or soft fabrics. There are also classic style collections, like long stylish dress; a combination of creative tops and bottoms; colorful leggings paired with either a blouse or dress was also featured. Summer outfits was also showcased; such as the floral swimsuits for ladies and trunks for men, accessorized with shawl. I regret not having a camera to take pictures of the featured collections, but happy my eyes re well fed watching the fashion show and observing the expectant hmmm.

The clothes showcased were indeed fabulous as I may say; but nothing I would wear on in the office or in places or event I used to go to, unless I may be invited again in a big social event. :-)
