SIX DESIGNERS wowed the crowd and left them wanting to see more than just their 10-piece collections on the fourth day of Philippine Fashion Week.
Following are short descriptions of each one’s presentation:
Bo Parcon -- All white, fringe heavy and rosary beads. The designer came out with an all-white collection that was sophisticated yet had the casual feel of cotton. There was a slight heaviness due to the fabric used which was balanced by the myriad ways fringe was used in the collection. Hair buns and rosary beads as accessories finished off the looks without being too attention-grabbing.
Dax Bayani -- The most memorable item in the collection would be a bucket hat which felt like it was aspiring to be its classier counterpart, the cloche. He showed mostly short nude dresses with sexy cutouts in strategic places and cinched waists. The collection featured chemically untreated natural fabrics and raw textiles.
Dimple Lim -- Texture, texture, and more texture. Prints, lace, fringe, big and tiny ruffles, and cutouts gave a coarse feel to the collection.
However, the earth colors used managed to make the pieces look dainty.
Jaki Peñalosa -- She incorporated silver handwoven abaca into her black pieces. Its use started out subtly, becoming more apparent as the collection proceeded. Her pieces ranged from classic modern looks to more traditional styling.
Jot Losa -- Pulling away from a neutral palette, he impressed the crowd with a bold collection filled with red and leather -- two things that are hard to pull off without looking cheap and stiff. The pieces were fit for a temptress -- but definitely a high-class high-society one. It was made more devious with crowns of red thorns and roses donned by all the models.
Xernan Ortico -- Undeniably Japanese-inspired, his fuschia accented white pieces were works of art. They were polished and full of character without feeling overdone. Classic cuts were reinvented but were still timeless and wearable.
