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.

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 …

My friend Fedz and I were just discussing how a person normally looks glamorous on occasions that actually requires her to showcase everything she has in her closet. Everyone is always at their best when they are out! Maybe I have to digress that someone’s personal style is not just all about how she is when dresses up for a party but mostly on her street smart-y way of playing with her personal style away from paparazzi eyes.
If you catch someone on an ordinary day in their best jeans …

Barely two weeks already and we got so many inquiries on the Stylissimo School of Style. I’d like to thank everyone for their interest in being part of Cebu’s creative resources for style and fashion. Of the most sought after Stylissimo School of Style workshop, Fashion and Design got the most feedback. With mentors such as Gwen Trott-Rizarri and other Cebu top models, the Fashion and Design school clearly drew a lot of praises for having a successful week.

AD Model slash mentor Gwen Trott-Rizzari is the Philippines’ 1st …

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.

Solstitium (latin. standing still) is the designers vision for “sun standing still”. Very dramatic, I might say and gorgeous! This one night show will highlight Cebu fashion designers and Bag-Ong Tribo Band at the Wineshop, Gorordo St., Cebu. Poster above is actually a preview of this Thursday’s soiree.

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.

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.

When Cebu’s best ateliers, maquillage gurus or wedding resources are up for scrutiny to the public eye, I can imagine why the five-star hotel was full of consumers …

My holy week was serene yet fun. Instead of spending it at some secluded island and getting ass drunk with friends, I chose this year to be with family. By the way, I do not drink alcohol.
 
Good Friday was spent in Panglao Island, Bohol and I have to admit I spent one week agonizing over my wardrobe for this Bohol trip until I realized to my chagrin that there weren’t that many people in Panglao this year. I can smell recession a mile away after I saw a foreigner …

How was everyone’s holy week so far?

Stylecebu observed Lent for the entire week and this writer declared herself a pescetarian after several days of not having meat. Agonizing, I tell you. This site, however, can’t wait to feature how stylishly Rustan’s celebrated their evolution this year by collaborating with the Stylefirm, Stylecebu and of course, the Ad Models Homme et Femme.

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 …

The first time Metro partnered with Lactacyd was two years ago when the famous feminine wash introduced Woman by Lactacyd, a product intended for the active and hardworking women today.

This year, Lactacyd and Metro once again partnered in style and glamour at the Metro Ayala Summer Wear Fashion Show held at the Ladies Department of Metro Ayala and hosted by Nikki Taylor of RCTV. The show promoted a fresh and spanking look this summer.
