08MAY2014 // SKIRTING PT. 3

Top: SUNE / Skort: Rick Owens Lilies SS12 / Cap Toe Flats: ASOS / Sunnies: H&M

For my final bit of this themed 3-part posting, I wanted to do something more fun along the lines of a 'wild card'. I know I cheated a little bit and wore a skort, but this really is one of my top 5 favourite bottoms ever. To own more beautiful Rick Owens things is definitely a dream I am hoping the universe would conspire to happen for me at some point in my life!

This was a fun little photo session- I'm usually clueless/awkward when it comes to posing and such, so I'm lucky to have Cholo this time to help me out with playing things up. I mean, when he tells you to stand on that pick up, how the hell do you say no?! It would be rude not to.

06FEB2014 // GIRLS OF YSTYLE

A couple weeks ago, a very awesome David Milan, asked me to be a part of a fashion shoot for The Philippine Star's YStyle section. I didn't know what it was about, but it sounded fun. All he said was that they were doing a one layout portrait shoot and a 15 second clip for the editorial (sharing the behind the scenes vid at the bottom) and finally, to dress as yourself magnified x10.

I got there early and during that time saw familiar faces of whose styles I really looked up to. To name a couple-- there was style icon-model-turned-photographer Joan Bitangcol (who was in and out of the shoot while I was still in make-up) wearing mostly Margiela (of course), and Daryl Chang, Preview Magazine's Fashion Editor, who was wearing a stunning Balenciaga coat. Bumped into Mano Lotho, our press-boss at work, and took some photos while waiting my turn for the shoot; he was wearing mostly Raf Simons. I was definitely on a fashion high and couldn't (still can't) believe I was on the same shoot as the ladies in the editorial.

The 31st of January finally came and so did the YStyle piece. It was a celebration of the new YStyle; new collaborations, a new section, a very sophisticated brand new logo, and we were the #GirlsGoneYStyle. All mind-bogglingly exciting! Thank you David, Cai and Carla for giving me a little part of the intro!
