A few days before the event people were texting me, "What are you going to wear?"
There was a mad scramble to find outfits befitting the dress code, which called for something cinema-inspired.
"I don’t know. I never follow dress codes," I texted back.
I really don’t. I just usually wear what feels right at the moment, depending on a bad or good hair day (i.e., a bad hair day means I’ll be wearing a hat, which will determine the rest of the outfit).
So not everyone followed the dress code, but I do remember spotting a couple of Holly Golightlys (a no-brainer), someone straight out of the Bagets movie and Fight Club.
One thing’s for sure, though, some of Manila’s chicest people came out to show us their finest.
