Velvet Fashion Trend

Dresses made from the velvet fabric are a simple yet effect way to get the look, just pair it with some patent heels for a night out. The velvet fashion trend is increasing rapidly as we see more and more pieces begin to be created using the luxurious material. The Fall 2012 runways proved the fabric is no longer reserved for regal costumes and '80s theme parties. Velvet dresses, tops, scarves, bags and blazers are sophistication and aristocracy clothing fabric. As always, Celebrity is on top of the trend (Kate Middleton, Kim Kardashian, Jessica Alba, Angelina Jolie has been hitting up velvet for days! Remember this perplexing glove dress?).

I'm here in the business for 5 years and I still love what I'm doing.
Designing is my passion. It is exciting and very fulfilling especially when people appreciate what you've done.

Last week, I was honored to be chosen as the guest designer for Mega Young Designers Competition (YDC) Grand Finale at NBC Tent. This is considered to be one of the most awaited shows in Philippine Fashion. Many successful designers started their career when they joined this competition. Some noted designers are Rajo Laurel, Mich Dulce, Ivarluski Aseron, Aries Lagat and Furne One. I was a former finalist (Batch 2006) and to show again, as an alumnus, was another milestone for me. Thank you Mega for this opportunity, it's very special because it was also their 20th Anniversary celebration!


This was my collection last 2006 entitled "In Her Womb" inspired by the beautiful shape of motherhood. The theme for that year was "Shape of the New Future."

When I was asked to create a 10-pc capsule collection, I was very excited, but I didn't know which idea to present. I've done several collections ago, and this time, I wanted to create something different.

I took inspiration from the Circulatory System. I got inspired with veins, arteries, blood vessels, and capillaries. I wanted to achieve a look that's very sensual, strong, contemporary, and powerful.





I wish there will be future VJF brides who would ask me to do wedding gowns inspired by this collection. This idea can be translated to a beautiful wedding gown ;-) don't you agree? I remember one client told me the reason why she booked me. She loved my ideas and how I think. She said that in every collection I make, there's always a concept behind it, a story to tell.

Fashion is freedom. Everything is possible. ;-)

Nail Polish Trends 2012

Show your eagerness and excitement over the wedding season 2012 be through the colors that you paint on your nails. Nail polish trends of 2012 will surely bring in everything that you love about this occasion. Wedding is the perfect time to wear something bold,  bright colors and grab your yellows, oranges, cobalt blues and aqua greens. Having these colors on your nails can definitely accentuate your outfits. Try wearing a Black dress with yellow nails, or give your white top a pop of color with neon pink.

Glossy pinks and reds definitely bring out your feminine side. It is recommended to match your nail color with your lip color. However, if you don't have an exact match, just pick a nail color that is closest to the color of your lipstick. Complementary colors also work best on lips and nails. You can pair a berry tint on your lips with pastel pink nails.

You can choose a sheer, opaque gray for work or you can have the ones with silvery tones to glam up your nails during a night out. This color is so versatile that you can definitely wear it anywhere.

Another color trend that never goes out of style is the neutral or nude color. Nude colors are practically such classic colors that it can be worn at any time, anywhere and at any location. These colors are especially great for weddings and other formal events. Colors can vary from very light pastel colors such as pinks and peaches to flesh tones and platinums. You can surely never go wrong with this!
