Philippine Fashion Week 2010: Penshoppe Has Arrived!

Penshoppe has arrived! *applause, applause* most brands have reinvented themselves and one brand we all grew up with, Penshoppe - has revealed its new direction with aspiring outfits that say sexy - sophisticated.

From the looks of the runway, the Holiday and Summer Collection of Penshoppe is inspired by travel, and Paris. First elements to walk down the runway are sequined tops, skirts, and sequined shorts which I have seen for the first time. Thank you very much Penshoppe.

Here are some exceptional ensembles from the collection:

Shiny Sequins

Still, Military inspired Overcoats

Flirty and Preppy Skirts

Noted how Penshoppe used scarves as head accessories. I wish I learn how to tie scarves around the head, the right way.

This collection makes me want to pack my luggage and travel. What do you think?

Philippine Fashion Week 2010: Oxygen Runway

The message is clear - mid drifts are back and flat tummies are in. Goodbye rice! I guess deconstructed style is flowing towards the mainstream now. Yet Oxygen knows how to do it right, some labels might still be playing safe with just twitches of elements from this style such as uneven cuts, over-sized fabric, and sharp layers.

Oxygen also showed the new way to wear their accessories. Made of small links but alas, more stylish and versatile to wear. I like it as sleeves for the sleeveless shoulder. See more about it on the slideshow.
