In line with my previous post Starting Point I was telling you about the things or the categories I should start of in creating my designs.
as for me I don't want to release my designs just yet, I want you all guys to wait for "the day". so its to be a surprise!but for you to understand where I'm coming from once you see my collection. here's a bit of a tiny detail about the inspirations I have in hand.Actually, I forgot to tell you that we MUST also design clothes that are Asian Inspired. so to cut short we have to pick one country.I chose this country not because I just wanted to do so. it doesn't have any significant meaning but this country was introduced to me since I was a kid. So I was kind of familiar about that country, it may not be specific, I may not have been there but this country but I'm sure this is one of the prettiest country that I want to go to.
Well, yes I know some other designers would choose this as well but that wont stop me in doing what I want or what my heart wants. I'd rather choose a country that I'm comfortable with rather than a country that I barely know, yes I know its worth the risk, its worth the try. but I'd rather be sure and be cofident defending it rather than making things up.I know if we all think about this country which I know, even though I don't name it, you know it. we all think about the traditional, but this country speaks more, I mean a lot more. Watching movies especially The Fast and The Furious Tokyo Drift made me love the country even more, and me wanting to got there even more. Before I used to think about this country more like of the tradional, like praying, white faces with red lips, offering stuffs and that. but this movie made me realize that Japan is a lot more of what people think. Because of this it did encourage me to well yes, choose this country.Well this is just one of the inspirations I have, I don't want to bore you guys this a very long blogpost, I would be too draggy and I hate draggy! haha! and yes, I want you to want for more.Till next!-A.GPhotos fromhttp://www.worldpopulationstatistics.comhttp://upload.wikimedia.org -
As a Senior Fashion student we have to come up with our very first collection that will be showcased on our Graduation Show is April.every student has to pick a number/group from a box, well we don't get to choose what number we want so you're lucky if you were able to get what you want.each number/group has its own category.as for me I got this. and yes you have to guess each picture. but its like I'm not going to say it, but hey! its worth the fun.
Its pretty obvious. haha
Clue : an event before the I Do's
This is a bit hard to explain.
Clue: Season/s
That's all I can give just not to be blunt.
Commonly you would say "aztec" but no.
Clue: Roots in colonialism
its an interior design, yes. but what "feels" does it have?
clue: century
its a house yes, but not just a house, what kind is it?
clue: more likely a rest house
its not a cruise.. well its obvious. haha
clue: water transportation
lame clue, I know.
so got any answers?see if you got it all right!1. Engagement2.Autumn-Winter3.Tribal4.Old World Chic5.Villa6.Yacht
So there! I have to start with all this. An Engagement party during Autumn-Winter in a villa/yatch (well I'm not really sure where it is going to be held since the last time I talked to the people who got the same number/group as me we change the venue to a villa/resort. but I kinda went with a bit of a villa that can still be worn on a yacht. its kind of you'll decided once you see it, and I'll keep you posted!) with a tribal and old world theme.

When I entered college my wardrobe changed. I used to dress up pretty boyish, I like wearing sneakers and rubber shoes. But then it all changed; I started wearing dolls shoes, sandals and heels. I’m not a fan of dresses, skirts back then. You couldn’t even let me wear sleeveless tops. I always wear cover ups, or just wear a jersey jacket or loose shirts. I may not be a fan of dresses and skirts back then but you couldn’t even let me wear pants. As far as I remember maybe 4 years ago I only own 2 pairs of pants. You could find different kinds and colors of shorts inside my closet. But you wouldn’t find any girly garments, not at all.
When I entered college, I somewhat adopted how my sister dress up. I started buying heels instead of sneakers, I started buying doll shoes’ instead of rubber shoes. I started buying dresses and skirts instead of shorts and jersey jackets, I started buying sleeveless tops or blouses instead of plain t-shirts. I became really girly that I myself was shocked because of my wardrobe change. But hey! I liked it too!
But not just that. I was a fan of skirts, short shorts, tube dresses. I don’t own any of those that actually would go beyond my knees. To the point my guy friends would tell me to pull my dress or skirt down. I do still wear muscle tees but I don’t pair it with sneakers I still pair it with doll shoes or sandals to reveal the girly side of me. But then it changed again, well it didn’t I just somehow tried out something new. I started wearing maxi skirts and dresses and palazzo pants. I don’t usually wear them before because I think I look really small. But I loved them so it became one of the garments I usually wear.
We had this “MAKE OVER PROJECT” where my partner would dress me up and me; her partner would dress her up as well. This was her output:
Before After
Even though my college bestfriend was my partner in this project, still she didn’t know how I dress back in high schoo. But when she let me wore her clothes my high school days came back to me. Especially on how I dress myself. I can really say that I like what she let me wore. Yes I wear sneakers before but I have never wore sneakers of dark color. So it was still something new to me. As I was saying earlier I don’t own any clothes that would go beyond my knees, it was always shorter. This dress may be knee length but also something I have never worn. She then added a denim polo wrapped around my waist. I was planning to wear something like this before but I don’t know how to make it look good since I have never tried it as well. Over all I clearly like the meke over she did.This make over project with Ingrid Borja taught me how to eplore and not just limit myself with what I want instaed I should go beyond and see what else I can do and try out something new that will still look like me but in a different way.

After talking about Jeffrey Rogador 3 weeks ago, I am now going to tell you about one of the Filipino Fashion Designer who inspired me a lot. He’s one of my favorites, I can tell. I even dream about working for him because by that I can learn a lot of things since he is also I Benildean I think or I’m assuming that we can get a long, yes I’m dreaming too much. But hey! Why settle for less? But don’t ask for more!
Enough about that, now I’m going to show you the works of this fashion designer that was indeed my favorites!
First, when I saw the first photo I got really inspired on how he was able to create the corsette type, the details was really good and at first I didn’t know that it was partnered with a skirt that will transform into a long gown. This was really good well atleast for me cause I know we all have different tastes. Actually he using that fur skirt made me love fur fabrics but still I can’t find the perfect store where I can buy it. So if you guys know where I buy something like that, just comment below! It will be much appreciated.
The 2nd design that I’m going to show is the dress that he made for Julia Barretto. It as simple but really elegant. The bead work was really good, and I didn’t even knew that the details will still be that “wow” at the back. The dress was fully beaded which I admire the most because I have never seen a gown that was fully beaded but still didn’t look “too much” that it doesn’t look good anymore, he managed to make the gown look good with all that details.
The 3rd design that I’m going to show is design for Ms.Universe …… if he was chosen to design that Mj Lastimosa’s going to wear he was inspired by the ati-atihan festival. This look was a little festive but was a bit modern as well. I didn’t know he could pull off a design as pretty as this. And I can say that this would be pretty if he was able to make it as an actual gown.
The 4th design that I’m going to show you is the gown that he made for Ms.Marina Benapayo. As for me yes I’m a fan of gowns. But not of a huge balloon gowns, but this did really caught my eye because when I first saw it, it made me remember one Disney Princess, do you guys know who’s the Disney Princess in my mind? Well… the color of the gown gives out a big clue! BELL from beauty and the beast! I think she attended a ball wearing this gown but I’m not really sure. Haha!
The 5th and last design that I’m going to show is a very simply yet elegant gown that he made. It’s a bit revealing. Some of the girls out there may be shy to pull this off, but hey! Just be confident like this girl on the photo and you’ll definitely rock this gown! Going back, I really liked how he executed the embroided bust area of this gown. It may be look to “open” but the details made it look classy and sophisticated.
So I just showed you my top 5 favorites of this Filipino Fashion Designer. Some of you may also like his designs and now curious who this designer is. But I know some of you already y know who this designer is. If you’re into fashion and know some Filipino Designers this would be really easy for you and very obvious.
The person behind this design is none other than the great Rajo Laurel!
