PhFW Holiday 2013 - Day 3

ERIC DELOS SANTOS JEFFREY ROGADOR JEROME SALAYA ANG JUN JUN CAMBE M BARRETTO 

We arrived at SMX at 12:30pm for our 1:00pm show, which was the latest we’ve ever been! We still got good seats though, considering our place in line, which was pretty lucky. The show started, and the lovely Marina Benipayo came out! She graced the runway with her flawless twirls as usual. She walked for Eric Delos Santos. (Side note: We just had to find Marina after the show and take pictures with her! We're such fangirls!)

The pieces were lacy with very traditional feminine silhouettes, all in funky black and white prints.

          

Jeffrey Rogador’s collection was quite similar to Eric Delos Santos, with black and white prints and combinations, but played more with the cut and shape. He also featured menswear (I wanted to wear more of the menswear! -Celine) His men’s shirts and jackets were quite creative. 

          

      

Jerome Salaya Ang’s collection was lighter and more colorful. It was very fantasy-princess, though some of the quirky colors and textures were quite attractive.

          

Jun Jun Cambe’s collection was supposed to be retro chic, but at the beginning, it came off very circus-y. The later pieces were more sophisticated –modern interpretations of the retro look. Suddenly a whole group of abs-men came out –a bit out of place with the rest of the concept (can't complain tho. we love our abs-men -Mae). The last few pieces were these black dresses embellished with gold embroidery.

       

  

M Barretto’s collection was the most wearable and edgy –in mostly grey and black. The women wore chic black bobbed wigs, and the styles were quite masculine. The menswear was kept casually edgy.

After the show, we found Marina Benipayo and had a picture with her whilst trying not to embarrass our fangirl selves. Then we found Francis again! We quite liked his outfit, so we had another picture with him.

For some reason, we were both extremely tired after the show. We just went out for Thai food and called it a day. Perhaps our bodies were launching a pre-emptive strike for the madness that was to ensue the next day?
