A model and a designer at the same time, Barbie Alvez has made a mark for herself in Cebu’s fashionsphere as one of Cebu’s young designers who participated in several fashion shows and competitions such as the Cebu Young Designers Competition, Fashion Design Council and just recently, the Samsung Metrowear 100 at …

If Wednesdays are the new Fridays, won’t that make Thursdays the new Saturdays? This Thursday, watch another gathering of people who all have one common love: fashion.

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.

This Cebuano designer is all keen with amorphous details and bold colors as how he is known in the fashionsphere. Let’s just say this designer is consistent …

It is just right and grand to hold Cebu’s annual wedding fair that is anticipated by everyone every summer in Marco Polo Hotel. Chalk it up to the months before THE wedding month of June, this year’s bridal fete was a two day love affair of Cebu designers and the upcoming brides in 2009 last weekend at the Marco Polo Hotel.

How was everyone’s holy week so far?

Ayala highlighted a fresh graduate’s transition to the real world through a fashion exhibit aptly dubbed Transition Wardrobe two weeks ago. Mannequins that wore Karimadon, Bossini and Essenxa …

Yep, I attended a rock concert. Because I am not a fan of mosh pit rah-rah crowds, I normally curl my lips at the thought of getting shoved by rock stars whose angst are written all over their shirts.
Last Saturday’s rock concert underestimated my rock concert attendance since time memorial. Perhaps only Yves Camingue can make me go to one. Yves Identify at the Handuraw for the We Will Rock Your Wardrobe on display for SUMMER 2009. His ready to wear apparel gave us breezy and flirty ensembles in …
