Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2013

There are few things I look forward to eagerly, and one of them is this:


I've been attending the Philippine Fashion Week for three years now as guest of my good friend, fashion designer June Pugat. Thanks so much, amigo! This year's edition is special because my niece joined me. I used to babysit her during breaks from law school, and look at her now.
my niece all dolled up for the show
Like me, she went the traditional conservative academic route, but has many friends who are into the arts, who sometimes make her their fashion muse.

Pieces from my friend's collection are featured below. June Pugat went metallic and shiny for this edition. Click here to see his past collections.






Bravo, June! 


Below are select pictures from the other designers featured in the Grand Allure Show.









Until the next Fashion Week.

Pictures from Two Years of Philippine Fashion Week

I love my artist friends. Many members of the first group that I joined in university are now writers, interior designers, painters, and media practitioners. I am in awe of the creative process, and as much as possible I celebrate with them when they exhibit their works.

I'm fortunate to be friends with fashion designer June Pugat, and he has been graciously inviting me to his shows during Philippine Fashion Week at SMX. I look forward to the whole spectacle, and this post, long overdue, is my way of thanking him. For one hour I also get the chance to photography things other than food. 
Group shot from Fanny Serrano's show, the only decent picture I have of last
month's PFW. Time to buy a camera with better zoom.
My friend was part of the Grand Allure collection

My friends, like Paul, came in dressed to the nines.
Below are pictures from June's collection last year.
