Cue in "Woo hoo!"

This night was my first serious fashion show experience.

An organization I joined in at UP hosted a fashion show in Plazuela de Iloilo, "Fashion's Night Out" (patterned after Vogue's event of the same name.) The designers who featured their designs are Bo Parcon and members of the Young Designers of Iloilo group: Doddie Vril Tan, Angel Tan, Djohn Clement, Jor-el Espina, Marvin Banaag (also a UP student!), and Mike Sorilla.

I made a BIG mistake of forgetting to bring a camera. The pieces were definitely something I'd have liked to capture on film. I am a naughty little blogger.

The preparations really took a toll on everyone working backstage. (I wore pumps, which was a very stupid idea because I was one of those backstage folk and had to run from one end of the venue to another. I have to hand it to myself, though. I've got mad skills in wearing heels.) Still, when the designers arrived, it was more than enough to compensate for our strained gastrocnemii.

The show was a success. I don't really know how to judge in that area but I was mesmerized all the while, so I guess my opinion has some rational basis. I hope next year it'll be even better, if that's even possible.
