CHITO VIJANDRE PFW Spring/Summer 2012: HAUTE GYPSIES

SLIM'S AT 50
Philippine Fashion Week 2011 S/S

Ancient. Traditional. Preserved. Fashionable. The style icons in an Asian woman’s wardrobe are all this and much more. Some have charmingly transcended boundaries to become staples on and off the global runway. Most cherished treasures, exquisite, richly made into magical and rich pieces. Asian trousseau complete with heirloom pieces, the designs, fabrics and craftsmanship vary from neighboring Asian countries just like costumes, languages and mannerism. Vijandre flaunted once again the traditional fashion aces into modern and contemporary staples and a solid classic haute couture pieces that surpassed the mundane trend cycles that the world slaves to. And they work everytime.

Then these are crafts which, that requires a knowlegeable status here, have taken on the international fashion scene. Some have appeared occasionally on runways and high streets, while others have established themselves as perennial style statements. Even though they retain their status in the ‘crafts’ hierarchy, they are also part of mainstream fashion, instantly recognizable, instantly Vijandre.

His luxurious brocade gives glorious mesmerizing effects together with his Chinese silks taken from mulberry plantations.

The mixture of solid colors and the embellishment of chinese tussles in rounded upper sleeves matched the loud fuchsia shoes. Hair rising hair extension added the contemporary look.

The appearance of python gloves added the screaming eclectic components that blended harmoniously in the total silhouette.

Like a contemporary gypsy woman, the simple golden skirt, the well cut blouse in an open sleeves lined with jade green and his unmindful head gear of split horns reminded the highland women of  Tibet, alluring and exotic.

And suddenly Vijandre transported his muses to the 70's /80's silhouettes where he was famous on the ramps on Manila's highlife fashion shows and events. The magic of a CHITO VIJANDRE is still there.
