The creations of Anna Leah Salvador were showcased during Day 2 of the 2008 Philippine Fashion Week the New Generation Collection last Tuesday, 27 May 2008.

A very black and white set. Lots of LBD ideas. There were a couple of repeats, though. That’s a no-no in doing a show. I wish they kept the top hat on all the models, seemingly like the signature look. Love that bit.
Thoughts?

I reckon it’s never complete if you don’t get snapped a photo or two as you pose on the runway. Bloggers have graced the event and I grabbed the opportunity to capture their personal style in good lighting conditions.

Remember Becky? Well, I saw her on the runway of the Philippine Fashion Week. I’m talking about the stilettos, of course. As much as I would want to tell you that I came along but no, I saw a model wearing an exact, same pair (check out the first photo on the Artistry Show post).I actually had to point it out. The geek in me came out. Heh.
Anyway, nothing special. A “wala lang” (translate: oh, nothing) thing. Tis just a bit of trivia on the side. Hehe.

I’ve finally gotten around to uploading the last batch of the photos I took during the Opening Ceremony of the 2008 Philippine Fashion Week. Tis a tedious task, I tell ‘ya. Juggling between processing photos and writing them posts. And then there is seeing fabulous photos of the fashion show taken by other local photographers like Ian Ong of ClicktheCity.com. Gawd. I almost didn’t want to upload mine. LOL.
But I know you guys would want to see what we saw that night, yea? Twas models strutting down the catwalk, wearing …

Taking photos during fashion shows just isn’t my thing. I mean photos of models strutting down the runway. I’m too engrossed with watching the clothes. But I did my best to get some shots in for Style Manila during the Philippine Fashion Week 2008. First up is ARTISTRY. Yes, the official makeup of the Philippine Fashion Week this year. I was curious on just how they’ll manage to put on a show on makeup.
And here’s how they did it:

More photos after the fold.

Courtesy of Artistry, my Tuesday night turned out to be interesting and entertaining. I attended the Opening Ceremony of the Philippine Fashion Week 2008 held at Hall 3 of SMX Convention Center.

Artistry is the official makeup of this year’s Philippine Fashion Week.

The night also celebrated PFW’s 11th year, hence the title of the night’s show, “GLIMPSES: A Dawn of a New Decade”. The Philippine fashion scene has been working on building a more global image, hoping to launch the distinct Filipino creativity to the rest of the world. A call …
