Last night, I found myself seated right in front of a catwalk. People from all walks of life were gathered with growing anticipation each passing minute. They have come to see the latest designs to clothe the next generation. Security was tight. Only those with invites were allowed to enter the seating area. There was quite a commotion here and there... they ran out of seats for some unlucky patrons who were left with two choices ---either to stand or to sit on the floor during the entire show.
Soon the crowd started cheering, as the pink, blue, and yellow lights of SM Mall of Asia's Main Atrium started to glow. House music tempered the atmosphere. Chill. The show was about to start.
The featured fashion designers came out from backstage and paraded onto the catwalk. Ava Paguyo, Nikki Sonico, Julius Tarog, Nicky Martinez, Richie Abad, Twinkle Ferraren, and Ziggy Savella waved at the crowd. Swimwear designer Twinkle Ferraren sent flying kisses to her faithful followers, who in turn wildly cheered as the lights placed them on the spotlight. The air got warm. The show was on its way.
As the program got on, more and more interesting designs started to show. Some of the pieces had bold designs, others a bit tempered, only to be adorned with beads and sequins. Neutral colors were the in thing for the day. Black and white dresses retained their classic glamour. In essence, it was all about one thing: ready to wear.
I was lucky to have been invited. As the last model strutted down the runway, the show made me realize one thing:
Pinoys have a very good sense of style.
