Checkered Dress by Joel Escober

 "You have an eye," - Joel Escober

I saw a blouse at the Designers Holiday Bazaar yesterday. I don't know, it's my instinct maybe. I really liked the top. It's something I'd wear, it looks comfortable, OH MY the mix and match of patterns and colors plus the applique! Gusto ko siya. But I want it as a dress. The person assisting me said, "You have an eye." He was so accommodating, gentle, and sincere. OMG....

Si Joel Escober na fashion designer pala ang nag-assist sa akin. Kaya pala he gets me when I told him why I liked it so much. I like pieces na may "wow" at classic pero may something AT ako lang meron. He said that they can make a dress for me and I can get it before the event ends. 

I'd like to give myself a chance to think twice but the truth is, I wanted to go to the bazaar because I'd like to see his stall to see his clothes and GUSTOKO's. I always remember the summer dress years ago by him. 

I am excited to see the dress version of this FOR ME! <3

There's a skirt that I liked, too but I have to remind myself to start saving up. :D

Be organized!

I never noticed that note at the edging machine until last week.

"...Everybody is talking about cutting down expenses and then we literally started cutting old ball gowns and then with the remnants of the ballgowns, we make new garments." - Viktor & Rolf (Spring Summer 2010) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_AxzhHluqQ

How smart, MODERN, and unique these are!

John Galliano

His works are potent.  The more you look at them, the more beautiful they become... and never leave you.

Never would I forget the gold dress I saw in a Dior's window when I was young.  I had not seen anything like that before.  I fell in love with it.  It was like a melting gold.  It changed the way I thought of constructing clothes.  Pwede pala yun.  Paano yun?  I was amazed.  It was magical.  Galliano was the designer at that time for Dior.

Then I watched this, I've seen here the magic of that dress.  The second skin effect, the liquid effect was from the bias technique, it's Galliano.  

Suddenly, I remember why I love fashion.  It's magic.  Galliano creates magic.

I am inspired to create magic, too.
