It was Philippine Fashion Week Spring Summer 2011 and I was there to cover it. I really didn't want to go fangirling (over celebs and famous fasyown personalities) so I didn't take that much photos. I attended most of the shows but I was too lazy to take a snap of them. haha. I didn't even document my outfits for the week and all I have are these:
1. [With Vins, contributing fashion writer of blah.ph during the Wharton/ Paperdolls show by Rajo Laurel and Kate Torralba] - blazer from dad(lol) , DU Manille animal print top, Forever21 scarf, Zara pants, DM boots, Coolmax bag.
2. [Cocktail party at Cesar Gaupo's show] Leather jacket with leopard-ish textures(thirfted), Mental longsleeves polo, PRP pants and DM boots.
3. [After the Oxygen show] Handpainted poncho jacket, black Topman shirt, Forever 21 turtle necklace, Human pants, DM boots. *Thanks to Howan, Vins and Jed for the photos. :]
Ok, so here's a quick recap (only from those I have photos of). There were a lot of impressive young designers [read: Kermit Tesoro, Enrico Carado, Xernan Orticio, Don Protasio and more] but among the local brands, SM Department Store was one of those which didn't fail me with their new collection. The store has been consistent since the "revamp."

| At the Paperdoll/ Wharton show. Kate, you are so cute! And meet my new lover, Mark Whittington! Rarr! haha. Rajo wasn't there, hence the mask. |
 |
| Met Alex Mendoza, brand director of Penshoppe. The show really amazed me with that 3D catwalk. nice. :] |
Lee had this university "competition" where young [student] designers from the four major universities were trained and made them design a collection for PFW. UST, for me, made the best collection.

| Why does this collage seem to be super lowres? These are from different collections [Lee]. |
The PFW's finale show for this year was Cesar Gaupo's.
 |
| Joey Espino had his speech, for the first time, during the last show of the week. He usually does this in the opening show. |
Cesar Gaupo deserves the standing ovation he got from audience. With the expensive choice of fabrics designed in such a classic, sophisticated way, a dress or a pair of heels from the collection is surely any lady's must-have. And, of course, it's Cesar Gaupo! :]
That was it! 'til the next season! :]
