PHILIPPINE FASHION WEEK, SCULPTURED CRAYOLA FLOWER BOX

Philippine Fashion Week 2008
SMX Comples
Roxas Boulevard, Manila

During the Manila shows I kept noting the number of variations on the chic sculptured and summer dresses. It wasn’t hard. There were those three killer examples from Czarina Villa, Mich Dulce, and Tina Daniac. I think Happy Andrada’s take on artsy fashion’s fun.

Colors are all over this season—a reason to buy. I’m entertained.

21st century capitalism, new fashion, good strategists and changes to come. There are a lot of thing that are going to have to change, that are changing, a lot of things we haven’t seen and aren’t going to see, a lot of things that will happen but not overnight, and some things that should but haven’t been highlighted yet. This is a great time for fashion and for the people who follow it. Our values and assumptions, the way we look at clothes, consume them, the way business is done—it’s all changing.
