Solstitium (latin. standing still) is the designers vision for “sun standing still”. Very dramatic, I might say and gorgeous!

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.

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 …

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.
