Ipanema goes chic and young and lovely

MANILA, Philippines - Chic sexy footwear was the hot theme on the runway when Ipanema presented its latest resort fashion during the Philippine Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2011.

Top Brazilian footwear brand Ipanema created big fashion waves with its latest resortwear collection during the Philippine Fashion Week where it translated resort fashion through a showcase by more than 50 Filipino designers interpreting Ipanema’s style into a complete spring/summer look.

This year, instead of heels and leather, models graced the catwalk wearing the most comfortable and uber stylish Ipanema sandals paired with the creations of designers Anthony Nocom, Ramon Favila, Ricky Abad and Simon Ariel Vasquez.

For this show, Anthony Nocom showed off his signature fashion-forward but practical pieces for the modern man who is always on the go. His men’s casual resortwear in blue, white and brown palette was complemented by Ipanema’s sandals in solid blue, white and black colors that are crisp and clean for the urban man.
