Back to '80s glam
MANILA, Philippines - Unarosa unveils its holiday collection for 2009. Designed to mix and match, transforming morning numbers to evening glamour. The inspiration: ’80s glam matched with structured silhouettes to update the classic Unarosa look.
Peaked shoulders, boyfriend jackets, skinny shiny trousers and leggings take the spotlight in this collection. Bold shoulders and bare shoulders are highlighted, waists are cinched, and the legs are shaped, updating the ’80s trend to a classic form.
The fabrication for this season is both luxurious and editorial. The collection uses rayon and linen for comfort. Faux snakeskin jersey and sequined fabrics are used for cocktail dresses and jackets.
Neutral shades of gray, black and white dominate the color palette accentuated with hues of pink, red and blue.
Unarosa offers a wider size range this season. The size offering starts from size 0 (UK 06) for the ultra waif and the petit up to size 5 (UK 16) for the voluptuous and full-figured women.
The pricing is reasonable. A basic top rings as low as P665, while a cocktail dress goes for P1,590. Good fashion need not be expensive.
Unarosa marks the holiday with seven looks, each one meant to complement your personal style for any occasion.
• Classic contrast. Unarosa combines the masculine structure to the classic shift dress. The feminine figure is draped with the masculine jacket giving the legs extra mileage for show.
• Modern Victorian. Define the torso, cinch the waist and boost the bosom with the modern corset. The bustier is layered with a white button-down shirt, elongating the female figure.
•Peaked shoulders. This is the shoulder of the season! The bold shoulder is emphasized with a bare neck. This look will get heads turning.
•Power layering. A sexy high-waist skirt matched with a loose woven shirt draped over by a knit vest complete the power-layering look. This is a classic fashion mix for the corporate chick.
•’80s glam. An oversized off-shoulder shirt and shiny tights complete the ’80s look. The female figure is subtly exposed and amps up the sexy vibe to the highest volume.
• Curvy duo. This is a classic ’80s look. A loose top tucked neatly into a skinny pair of trousers. This combination is both elegant and sexy.
• Cold shoulder. Unarosa has updated the classic shift to the season’s trend. The fabrication of faux snakeskin gives this look an extra boost.
Unarosa is at the fifth floor of Shangri-La Plaza Mall; second floor, SM Megamall A; fourth floor, The Block SM North-EDSA; ground floor Shoppesville Greenhills, and their new branches in Marquee Mall, Pampanga and SM Fairview.
