ALBERT ANDRADA: Kohinoor Collection PFW S/S 2011

                        
Albert Andrada, Dubai based Filipino designer, carved out a distinctly original niche with a sharply sensuous and deceptively edgy collection at the recent Spring/Summer PFW Week2011-Grand Allure segment.

The show started with the interesting fashion inspirations from exotic India, where Andrada's state of mind reflected, in his gorgeous clothes. It was the mystical Kohinoor-which was the title of his show, that featured exotic creations from his drawing board to runway.

 With mirror work tops in nude stretched tulle and Swarovski diamants and brilliants,  tasseled with  degrade synthetic goat hair, silk satin  panelled  jodphurs and embroidered bodices that caught the attention on the ramp and made his first runway show at Philippine Fashion Week , a success.

Interspersed  with cascading flower origami in long tailed gown attached at the back, the mystic of Indian Maharanis echoed luxe and elegance in diaphanous mask  that left the audience spellbound.

 The stunning impact of intricate jewelry set of embroidery from the sub-continental artisans of Jaipur, resonated the audacity of Andrada's work in the Gulf where exuberant and exquisite gowns are the normal order of the day.

 The runway was  filled with  style, glamour and drama, and will surely be remembered long after Albert Andrada's will join the Holiday Collection 2012 next year.

RONALDO ARNALDO: REIGN SUPREME- Philippine Fashion Week S/S 2011

Ronaldo Arnaldo's Spring/ Summer  collection at the Philippine Fashion Week 2011 was like early morning breeze with blooming freshness of flowers in spring . The delicate fabrics done in minimalist designs provided that sexy feminine look to his collection.

As Arnaldo's signature, he  included dash of  other colors like yellows, reds and cobalt blues. The models took over the ramp with his mesmerizing feminine collection comprising of simple dresses in white with contemporary cuts and insertions of stripes.

Wearable and clean, the stunning designer pieces of  floaty dresses with trendy long skirts, provided the feeling of quite glamor, this designer emphasized heavily on the comfort factor of the garments.

Ronaldo Arnaldo is well known for his simple yet attractive clothing lines which are high on value and seductive quotient. Unlike other designers he preferred his garments to hang comfortably around the body instead of body hugging/tight fitting clothes. He used free flowing fabrics like crisp cotton, light translucent linens and stripe satin duchess.

Stunning silhouette, long lean white skirt with tails, slide neckline  blouses, deep shoveled armholes, low back and front necklines, were some types of garments he presented. In evening wear he glamorized the A-line tubular silhouettes with matte stones as arm blings. The ranges of colors choosed by him for his collection were grey, black, pale yellow, red and white, thus the colors were also sober and subtle.

Arnaldo's maturity in high tailoring and mastery in controlled silhouettes separates him from neophytes, wannabes, newbies and mere tailors.
