fashion shows

Finally! The first season of Project Runway Philippines ended with a boom showcasing the final 3’s collection at the Philippine Fashion Week 2008. Aries Lagat ruled the runway with his ‘More Than A Woman’ themed collection followed by Philipp Tampus’ intricate crochet-glam dresses and Veejay Floresca’s monochromatic modern chic outfits. Below are the finalists’ fashion collection for PRP finale! Watch it!

Personally, I’d go for Veejay’s collection in terms of wearability. It’s RTW which something you can slip in anytime. However, it didn’t have the ‘wow’ effect for the competition in terms of design but worth the modern chic take in overall. Philipp’s pieces were so feminine. You can see how intricate the crochet details were which indeed celebrates feminity. And Aries’s? Well, an obvious showcase of great talent! Intergalactic inspired pieces. I love how Aries completed the idea for his collection. The materials and technique used were just so impressive. Very innovative and creative. He obviously deserved the win! Hope to see more of Philippine’s finest in next season of PR. Congrats guys!

Woah! Naomi Campbell and Chanel Iman in a duet catwalk rampage? I love it! When I initially saw this photo in stylefrizz.com, I was utterly speechless. We know from a fact how wicked Naomi girl is and seeing her with a fellow black model striding the same way on that ramp is simply an incredible sight. I don’t know with you but for me it really is! And I know I’m overreacting here so spare me with your crude reactions and keep it to yourself for now! I just can’t waive such feeling ever since I regarded Naomi C. as a prima donna runway queen who is excessively self-conceited. Does that even makes sense?.. Anyway, this is a photo from Fashion for Relief 2009 show in which Naomi had helped and joined since 2005 to raise funds for various charity causes. Despite her random public misbehaviour, it’s philanthropic of her to actively participate this type of foundation. Define benevolence noh! I kinda think too that with all these charities popping-up like mushrooms, why won’t we bloggers unite and organize something like move-for-a-cause. How’s that? Think it over blogistas and count my sweet face in if it happens.. Ping! Ping! Ping! So who’s who for you? Naomi C. or Chanel I.? Or they’re both stunningly hot to the nth power raise to positive 10 in that Azzedine Allaia’s dress?! Take your pick now.. Meh?… You know how I love every supermodels of this planet! So obvious.. vi-a-v!

Here’s something from NYC Fashion Week and this one really pulled my heartstrings.. Aussie supermodel Abbey Lee stumbled in Rodarte’s S/S 2009 fashion show and the culprit? No other than these Nicholas Kirkwood angry-looking platforms in sky high.

Watch this clip as she almost tripped seconds after coming out and completely toppled after making the big U-turn.

Poor Abbey… This made me really think how uneasy it is being a catwalk princess and you really have to work those crazy shoes hard to avoid being wiped out while sashaying on the runway.. Shocks!
