It seems that fashion rhetoric is taking a more proletarian bent as of late. There’s less preening within the stylish set about Chanel and Louis Vuitton acquisitions. Instead, recessionistas or stylistas du jour are smugly trotting out those old Balenciaga, Balmain and Fendi (thrifted) pieces that have been lounging in the back of their huge walk-in closets.

One of the world’s leading sport lifestyle companies opens its 9th store in the Philippines at bustling Cebu City!

The 3-hour private sale was for those invited guests given black tickets that they will have to present to the counter and …

With the right body type and the right attitude, you can never go wrong with a designer piece. On September 9 at VUDU, Wednesday, a bevy of beauties were entertained by a play-by-play ensemble of what fierce should look like - dark, menacing, imposing and intimidating. For April Escasinas, Jason Manatad and James Cañete, the designers who hosted the event, fierce was in the form of wires, black eyeshadow, and attitude. If there had been a lion — or an entire safari backdrop — it wouldn’t have been a surprise.

And then the waif AD models’ Gwen Trott, Ana Andrada, Sharon, Chai and everyone else appeared in sugary pink Lava dresses, What a Girl Wants, Space, and the men, oh, yes. Hot fashion Aref and Alfonse in Diego. Oh, so much to anticipate!
