Blanc et Noir

A study in contrast is what the collection is all about as young designer Jackie Climaco, designs for the house of Joy Bernaldez. Indeed, the fruit never falls far from the tree as daughter Jackie inherits her Mom's knack for fashion-an infusion of fresh blood. Utilizing the frail jusi to become a very functional trenchcoat, a dress that from afar looks like being inspired by a pine cone as it is edged by black thread & pieced together and a coatdress over black skinny leggings. Other noteworthy pieces are a black bubble dress over a white baby tee, a halter dress with black and white columnar lines and geometric shapes and an array of red confections that can take you from the bedroom to an evening soiree.

A new name will soon rock the fashion world as Jackie Climaco successfully wooed the Manila crowd with a series of super successful shows at The Embassy and immediately followed by the troika shows in Tonic Bar in this southern city, covered by what else, Fashion Television (FTv). Congratulations, Jackie!
