Blue Fight!

"We are inspired by motion , levitation , and the coolness of mint and blue. Celebrating our admiration with heroes and power rangers, we translated it into something modern and street hence the paneled pants with knee pads paired with our handmade shredded tees."
- Karl Leuterio

NIXON MARQUEZ / ASHLAR MASONRY

NIXON MARQUEZ / ASHLAR MASONRY

ash·lar |ˈa sh lər| n’ Ashlar is prepared (or “dressed”) stone work of any type of stone.

ma·son·ry |ˈmāsənrē| n’ stonework.

A type of building construction utilizing polished stones arranged in a calculated, précise and meticulous manner. When done correctly it can create arches, curves and walls. Ashlar is usually referred to as “dressed “stone because the faces are sometimes embellished or decorated with carvings.

Ashlar Masonry Collection by Nixon Marquez is the product of his fascination with geometric shapes colliding with streetwear, creating clothes with structured silhouette and lethal minimalism.

Super Earth!

Perfect for summer! Well, not really for the beach. This lace shoes is entirely made from used rice sack with natural suede lining. It's from the brand Super Earth Goods! 

With hopes to develop a brand that stands for equal-trade, sweat-free, earth-friendly, and that is functional and cool at the same time, Super Earth Goods makes clothes/accessories by hand using pre-worn and pre-washed materials, therefore each piece is never the same and may exhibit signs of wear, such as faded fabric, small holes, cracking print.
This is the nature of used materials and what gives each piece its character.

Check out these cool sneakers and bag made out of used tires and rice/coffee sacks. Awesome!

The Sartorialist: Scott Schuman

funny how the girl in 2:30 was so snobbish at first, then eventually changed when she came to realize it's "the sartorialist."

Bare Manifesto

 Dark White (clothing line) and Staal (accessories) just launched their latest collection Bare Manifesto. I love how minimalist the cuts are and the color palette is so refreshing. Staal went a bit experimental mixing various chains with beads, stones and some charms. 

Congrats Bea and Debbie! :]

The number one fashion and lifestyle magazine for the family in the U.S. has finally arrived here! BC Magazine Philippines just launched its first issue last month (Oct.- Nov. issue). And I am very proud to say that I'm a part of its editorial team. :] You guys know how fascinated I am with magazines and yes, it is a dream come true for me to be actually working [not just contributing] in a magazine - the thrill of every photoshoot, pulling out clothes, shoes, accessories [for adults and kids], styling, some writing, conceptualizing, layouting, coordinating with celebs/handlers/muas/ hairstylists, meeting a lot of people, etc. :] 

For BC's premiere issue, we have two covers - Ms. Dawn Zulueta-Lagdameo with kids and a collage of our Most Beautiful Moms(bts photos above). :] Next week will be our official launch party/ photo exhibit [Most Beautiful Moms and some Hollywood celebs BC has done], I'll tell you more about it soon! :] Meanwhile, please like our FB page. Thanks! :]

P.S. There's a new addition to the BC family, which I am very excited about - SPARK Magazine, details soon! :]

Hologram Magazine

Designer friend Ezekiel Aquino made this editorial imagery where one of my snaps from the Philippine Fashion Week was used. It's from Michael Cinco's show as supermodel Ria Bolivar transformed this enchanting dress to a military inspired outfit.
