Philippine Fashion Week SS2012 Ready To Wear

It was sad that there was no runway for the Philippine Fashion Week Spring Summer 2012 Ready to Wear Collection but an empty SMX Function Room 4 center hall and its black walls and floors. It would have been nice if there was some “runway” so to speak but the show must go on.

For PFWSS2012 RTW show designers Emi Alexander Englis, Harley Ruedas, Jian Lasala, John Guarnes, Joyce Pilarsky, Louis Claparols, Mike Lavarez, Nixon Marquez, Reian Mata, Ricky Abad, Simon Ariel Vasquez, and Ziggy Savella was featured. There were lots of flowy fabrics of sheer and lace and a lot of aqua. 

My favorite designs were from Louis Claparols.

Ensembles Louis Claparols Holiday Collection

Ensembles is one of my favorite local ladies wear brand, I love their wearable chic and uniquely designed apparels perfect for young professionals and the like.

This month Ensembles launch another amazing collection, the Louis Claparols Holiday 2010 Collection  consisting of very art-deco dresses, tops, skirts, boleros and trench coats.

I’ve seen the collection and wow I super love it, the prints and cut outs  gave the collection a retro-feel, wearing any of the piece will make everyone stand out.

Here are some of my favorites:
