Fashionista with a Cause

Have you always wanted to own a designer item but couldn't afford it yet? Or do you want to go shopping at the same time help make Cebu beautiful? Well, this week will be a very exciting week to all fashionistas in Cebu out there. As Zee Lifestyle, in partnership with the Wicked Sisters, brings you the Zee Fashion Finds.

For months now, we have been very busy collecting pieces from different personalities that we can sell at the high-end bazaar. For two days, the Rizal Library Ballroom will be transformed into a shopping mecca of branded items you have always dreamed of owning. As Karla, Sian and I were pricing all the donated items, we can't help but look out on a lot of fabulous items. Some still even have their original price tags! Expect items from MaxMara, BCBG, Kate Spade, Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenburg, Chanel, Prada, Gucci, Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, even pieces from Filipino designers such as Inno Sotto, Jun Escario, Cary Santiago and many many more.

Worried about the prices? Fear not, as they are priced from P200-P15,000 only! The two-day shopping spree is open to the public on September 5 to 6 from 10am to 6pm. Just purchase a Zee Lifestyle magazine on-site and this will serve as your entrance fee, which will also include access to ZFF, and exhibits featuring Furne One's works and dresses from the contestants of Zee's own Shades of Grès design competition. From 10am to 1pm, students can enter the fair for free upon presentation of a valid school ID.

And it doesn't stop there, on Sept 7, Dubai-based Cebuano designer, Furne One, will have his homecoming fashion gala. This will serve as the grand finale to the Zee Lifestyle's Fashion Forward. As a Cebuana and as a former model, I can't help but be proud of Furne. Now, his pieces are being worn by no other than Heidi Klum, Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry, Shakira, Nicki Minaj and Nicole Scherzinger. As he will be coming home to finally have a show for his fellow Cebuanos after making waves in the global arena, it's time to buy a ticket and witness this very exclusive event. Just call me at 09998885521 for tickets.

All these events wouldn't make you guilty afterwards, because proceeds of the ticket sales of the Furne One Finally and the Zee Fashion Finds will benefit the Rizal Library Building and the Beautiful Cebu Movement Foundation. So, what are you waiting for? Join us in this historic fashion event in Cebu!  – THE FREEMAN
