Fancy a glitzy glam doll and biker chick in one couture line? Last Wednesday’s installment of the Penthouse Fashion Series of Dino Lloren featured Cebu fashion designer Barbie Alvez’s babies with accessories from SEPA and Lord Maturan gloves.

We have had a glimpse of Norman Aspiras’ collection from several fashioccasions but never really got to see his work in a blinding spotlight such as the one at the Loft Penthouse last Wednesday. Penthouse Fashion Series gave Norman Aspiras the runway last week and Cebuanos were just too happy to be in close proximity with his fashion forecast this year.

Mary Ty shows that you do not have to be Chinese to wear this Oriental collection of hers. Personally loving this piece with a huge gape at the back. Mary, how do you say sexy in …

Lotte Delima Edwards, a Cebuana bred fashion designer who is now based in Singapore, opened the Island Girl Collection to the public last weekend at the Summer Fashion Frolic show at Plantation Bay Resort. The entire collection is aptly named after the islands in Cebu – Hilontongan, Olango, and Santa Fe Island. Each collection says a lot about the island – mystical, enchanting and very much seductive.

Her Island Girl Collection is all breezy and lighthearted that you would love to wear them from sun up to sun down.
