Bijoux Cebu 2009

When Cebu Fame hosted the most extravagant and most visited trade show this year, Bijoux Cebu last September 28-29 became a denoument of a year that concluded a large segment of the fashion-system juggernaut yet promised more for the upcoming years.

For the risk of sounding trite, the third installment of last week’s Glitz party at the Gustavian Wine Lounge, Ayala Center Cebu opened more avenues for Cebu designers to exhibit exemplary talent found in Cebu. Even thought there is no real science to draw a crowd but there definitely was chemistry last Friday. Edward Castro did a Herve Leger and came up with his own bandage dress version with strips that flatter any shape.
