The Fashion Show: School of Fashion and The Arts Graduation Show 2011 Posted on Saturday, July 30, 2011 |

The Designer and his moooooowdels...

The Runway

Fashion shows mean glamour and is also the best way to social climb... Bwahahahaha! =) But you should add to its definition the stress you had to go through in choosing the best outfit for the event. I was so happy because I managed to wear something that was SO Vitori Vita without breaking the bank....

I knew I bought this coat for a reason...

Bought it more than 6 months ago and I ONLY got the chance to use it last night... At last!!!!

Our golden ticket... matched with our golden seats!

The invite came from Dan Duran, one of Preview Magazines' Top 10 Designers to Watch Out For in 2011. He is our friend from Dumaguete and so we came to grace the show to support him. He's the sweetest. We were beside the VIP's but we are situated on the third row which wasnt so bad after all. We can't complain except that it was too difficult to take pictures of the models and the clothes they were wearing. After all? I have to share the experience with you guys.

ViVi and Trisha (emphasized her pucker-wicked lips)

Dan Duran and her favorite model

I went to the event with Trisha who picked me up from work. She was ranting about the rain and how I cant be reached when she was trying to contact me. The truth was I wasnt in a hurry because I thought that she'd be caught in the traffic. I told her that I will wear something that resembles a corporate bitch. Which means that I'd be wearing something black and some hues that are quite close to it. I was surprised! The moment I got inside the cab, she was wearing the same hues except the red lipstick which I cant wear.

The travel from MakatiMed to The Loft at the Manansala Building Rockwell was easy-breezy. Went to the 38th floor and wrote our names on the guestbook. The gay guy wearing black told me that he liked my jacket. Of course, I smiled and said "Thank you!" I just thought that it was too obvious that I was just returning the favor if I said that I liked his accessories. Which was true, by the way. I tried calling Dan before getting inside since it was quite intimidating as there were no ushers. However, I figured out that it was OK to get in without Dan. I just told a nice lady that we are guests of Dan Duran and she helped us find our seats. Purrrfect!

While Trisha and I were waiting for the show to start, I pointed to Trisha a very chic looking lady who stood out from the sea of people. I wasnt sure though if it was Amina Aranaz. But after the show, Dan introduced us to her and yah.... it was Amina! Trisha and I figured out that having the best nose-bridge is the key to being pretty but of course, we had to be skinny.

We clapped and clapped as the models strut with each masterpiece on the runway. Some were nice. Some were just too artistic. I was rooting for something that I can wear when I go to work. Just kidding! I dont need it. I can wear a shirt and shorts and know that I am still as fabulous when Im wearing couture. LOL!

This photo was taken for the sole purpose that if it is medically possible to copy-paste Amina's face on mine, then I will have it done without batting an eyelash... Trisha feels the same way.

Indeed, it was very euphoric in the most fashionable way!
