Globe says: Let’s celebr8
November 23, 2001 | 12:00am
Young designers rocked "Style Icons," the second installment of "Celebr8 – A Globe Get Together." Held at the ABS-CBN Compound, the event highlighted a fast-paced fashion show featuring the latest Globe Handyphone models set to electrifying live performances by top talented bands.
Opening the Robby Carmona-directed show were the Eraserheads playing as models showed Warp’s vision of a Kubrickian present. Ronald Pasyon’s A Clockwork Orange-inspired collection featured vaguely-Gothic deconstructed plaid pieces evoking boys wearing painted brows and eyeliner and schoolgirls gone bad.
Noni Diza’s Grunge collection was a throwback to the early Nineties when hair was limp and Dave Grohl was just Nirvana’s drummer. The idea is a backlash to the Eighties dominating influence today. "The ’80s was about rich, luxurious...the ’90s was more about angst, more about attitude."
In a surprising move from the fashion-forward retail brand, Milkwear’s segment explored corporate attire to the music of the Rage Band, Milkwear’s Stephanie Villaraza and house designers Stefaney Sarmiento, Paolo Raymundo and Kenneth Chua fully explored different professional personas for the show.
Rajo Laurel showed a condensed version of his Victoria meets Op-Art collection. This time around Laurel intended his collection to take on a softer edge.
Ignacio Loyola’s coatdresses, on the other hand, were Edwardian pieces in upholstery fabrics.
The Young Designer’s Guild chose to take their cue from their music and presented an avant garde tribal collection. Taking inspiration from neo-folk-ethnic group, Pinikpikan, the designers came up with outfits utilizing jute, capiz, abaca, DMC thread, denim, linen and nito, a locally produced leather-like thread. "We drew inspiration from our ethnic tribes like the T’boli, Tagabawa, Gadang and Mandaya but it is a thoroughly modern collection, very slim and sleek and very experimental," says YDG president Dennis Lustico. Key pieces were Ivar Aseron’s high-necked leather and processed abaca jacket, Yvonne Quisumbing’s face-printed chiffon mandarin collar top and long wooden beads ensemble, Lustico’s award-winning hooded slim jacket made of DMG threads, Mel Vergel de Dios’ beaded rafia and abaca pants and halter top adorned with mother of pearls, Avel Bacudio’s terracotta top and shorts made of waterlily stalks, Carlo Jequinto’s abaca wrap, Joey Samson’s denim tuxedo outfit, Ricky Vicencio’s hand-painted top with origami art details and Reian Mata’s copper chiffon cape, beads and skirt with an elasticized gathered hem.
