My friends and I came and watched the Premiere B Collection (featuring the collections of Albert Andrada, Bandoix Flores, Butz Fuentes, Ezra Santos, and Kermit Tesoro) last Thursday during Philippine Fashion Week in the SMX Convention Center. As usual, we were (well, more like I was, but still) chasing time, and just manage to make it right on the dot, so there was only standing room left.
Given the situation, I wasn’t really planning on taking pictures any longer since it’s kind of pointless to. However, when Ezra Santos’ collection started, everything was just so lush and exquisite that I decided to snap anyway, not even knowing how the shots would work.
As I was running through my photos upon getting home, it hit me — photo after photo.
These aren’t just runway shots — these are representations of the fashion industry. Everyone wants to be part of it, yet it’s very selective and accepts only a lucky few, and the only thing left to do for everyone else unlucky enough is gape in admiration.
Exclusivity is such an interesting concept.
Oh, and those shadows around some of the photos? Those are Solenn Heussaff’s shoulders. Yep, I was so close to her that I can literally lick her hair, and unhook her bra if I wanted to.
PS: Sorry for the lack of updates this whole month. Summer classes have been more exhausting than I thought.

Anonymous asked: Hi, how and where did you make your dp on twitter? :)
Hi! Sorry for responding to this late. I haven’t used Tumblr in a while. I used Photoshop! Haha.

Denise and Jara: Post-Shoot. In case you didn’t notice I shot Denise and Jara’s Young Blood in just one day. This is the three of us right after the (surprisingly quick!) shoot we had.
On an unrelated note: what happened to my hair? I wanna run a brush through my screen and fix it.

Aggy’s 18th. There’s one thing you should understand: when my friends and I get together, things can get rather chaotic. I went to Aggy’s debut last Thursday in Makati Sports Club thinking I’d go home with a lot of photos. Well, let’s just say my friends happened. (Not that I’m complaining or anything — I love them.)
Anyway, here are a couple of shots from Aggy’s all-white debut. I love how her reactions during the dances were diverse, if not honest. It was such a refreshing breather from all the smiling debutantes I’ve witnessed.
Like I said in my toast, here’s to the fulfillment of Aggy’s life dreams and aspirations! Love you lots girl! x

Beer. This has been quite a tiring week. I just need a drink right now.
