PHILIPPINE FASHION WEEK ' 09 HOLIDAY COLLECTIONS

My mind is pre-occupied with the forthcoming Philippine Fashion Week from May 26 till June 3, 2009. Events will be held at the SMX Convention Center, SM Mall of Asia
Complex. I'll be presenting a 10-piecee collection for the GRAND ALLURE show on FRIDAY, MAY 29, 2009, 6:00 PM. After an absence last year, I'm back and will be presenting a different concept and inspiration for the show. Still working on my collections. Fitting of the dresses is scheduled third week this month. There's still a lot to do with the pieces. I hope to beat the deadline. Cata Figueroa is directing our show with Runway Productions Joey and Audie Espino, heading the event. Over 100 designers are participating and I'm one of the priviledged designers to be in this undertaking.
I continously aspire to be a well-rounded designer. My specialty indeed is on weddings. However, I believe a designer should be in experience with the many facets of fashion. As the saying goes, "Respect is not demanded, its earned." Working hard to establish my niche not just in the wedding industry but on a bigger scale which is the Fashion industry. Its not about being famous of course! Its about being recognized and respected on the primary aspect of it all, FASHION. I would just evaporate on thin air to be tagged as a "first-class modista". For whatever the nasty meaning and branding is , I would never want to be in their league. The quest continues for me.
