I have never attended any shows of Philippine Fashion Week at SMX, so last night was a first. It was also a last– Cesar Gaupo was Phil. Fashion Week’s last show.
 |
| The Runway |
 |
| Show started an hour late. Full house! |
Cesar Gaupo, by the way, was once the head designer of Shanghai Tang, a post he held for 6 long years *and we Filipinos are so proud of this since rare is it that a Filipino designer makes it internationally*.
There were a total of 37 pieces for his S/S 2011 collection.
 |
| The first of the collection. Magical! |
I believe Gaupo’s strength lies in construction and execution. I can see why he is considered one of the gems of the Philippine fashion industry. Here are some of my favorites.
 |
| Great pairing- red shoes with that dress |
 |
| Very reminiscent of Molly Ringwald in Pretty in Pink, but this is very chic! |
 |
| I really want this– I think the ruffles go with the bodysuit though… |
|
|
 |
| Side view of the jacket (with ruffles) I really want |
 |
| Shoes are also by Gaupo |
 |
| Long and lean |
 |
| Bling! These shoes were out to dazzle (and we were dazzled) but I wonder how comfy they are |
 |
| One of my favorite dresses |
 |
| Final walk through. I love the colors! |
 |
| The designer, Cesar Gaupo |
This show is world- class. I have to hand it not only to designer Cesar Gaupo, but also to the show’s director Ariel Lozada. The solo guitarist was wonderful too. Congratulations Cesar and Ariel, it was a beautiful show!
How about you peeps? Tell me which ones are your favorites! 🙂
Anyway, the show was a great way to end the month of October (oh and I can’t forget 2 days of trick or treating with my kids which was sooo much fuuuun 😀 😀 😀 *I ate so much candy haha*)
Oh and lastly, I’d like to say thank you to the team of Buensalido & Associates for assisting me earlier 🙂
