Daydreamer

Dress: Randy Ortiz  Clutch: Aranaz

The Styling Team namely: Reg, Me, Rudolph and Mikka were tasked to each have a shoot that we would handle on our own.  A much needed challenge that was welcomed by all with both jitters and excitement. 
Mine was to feature the clothes of Fashion Design Council of the Philippines's (FDCP) designers to promote their contest entitled, Weaving The Future: A Social Design Competition.

My greatest challenge for this project was the location and no one was allowed to use a studio. I am so grateful that my friend recommended ALPADI ESTATE in Antipolo. As it turned out my cousin is friends with the owner and so was our make-up artist! It was the perfect setting for the shoot as it provided the natural elements that I needed. With so many areas, we didn't have a hard time finding interesting spots to shoot. I felt so blessed too that the weather cooperated. It was raining right until we finished with make-up and rained again right after our last lay-out!!!



 The accessories
I was so grateful that I was able to borrow these great pieces from Gerry Sunga who is also a member of FDCP! Each one is indeed a work of art. Their intricacy is beyond words!


 I also pulled out from Aranaz their De Lujo Collection!
 I am so amazed that something so simple can turn out so wonderful! 
 And the Joyce Makitalo pieces always inspire =) 
 The clothes are from: Randy Ortiz, Joel Escober, Jerome Salaya Ang, Avel Bacudio, Gerry katigbak, Ramon Esteban, Len Nepomuceno Guiao and JC Buendia
The look for this was very ethereal even for the hair. I am so glad that Ria  did the make-up to the tee and more!!!  We were having our doubts for the hair since I wanted it to be sooo big but Sony Mar delivered perfectly!  And to Jackie our model who accepted this stint the night before (thanks also Mikka), I am so thankful! She is such a trooper!

 Our photographer Mau Aguasin who wrapped up the shoot in 2 hours thank you!!!!
and Ate Grace for keeping me sane and making me sit down when I kept pacing the room thank you!!!

And of course we just needed to have a team photo after!!!
THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!
I think they got it that I am truly thankful hehe I must have said it a million times already!!!
and to LUIS thank you too for pushing us and believing in us =))
