HotWind in Manila
January 20, 2006 | 12:00am
The secret of Manila’s fashion savvy is out! HotWind opened its doors at the Glorietta and launched the Shanghai brand’s latest collections.
The brick walls, antique chandeliers, plush velvet ottomans and framed artwork of the Glorietta boutique are a step above the more pedestrian feel of HotWind’s rapidly expanding stores in China. Displayed on steel plates against the breadth of the trademark HotWind brick wall, the shoes are like works of art in themselves.
The HotWind flagship store is located at Level 1, Glorietta 4, Ayala Center, Makati.

What makes shoes the ultimate fashion accessory?
Shoes can change your whole look. It’s easy to switch from formal to casual just by changing them.
ANGELA REYES
How long does it take for you to buy a pair of shoes?
Ha! It depends if it is love at first sight then it only takes me 10 minutes maximum.
HAPPY DAVID
Where do you go shoe shopping with your girlfriends?
At HotWind, where they assured me my size will be available soon!

How would you design your own shoe?
I love wearing sneakers, they are so comfortable, so I’d design a pair in cream suede with embroidered lining in rich colors – simple on the outside but fabulous on the inside.
KATE TORRALBA
What particular shoe design matches your style?
A strappy little sandal in kaleidoscope colors with a high but delicate heel. Cheeky details are a plus. What can I say, I love, love, love shoes!
XANDRA RAMOS
When do you wear your most expensive shoes?
As often as possible so I can lower their cost per use!
MAGO SUACO
Who is the first person that compliments you on your footwear?
My mother and sister because they are the first people to see my purchases – and if my shoes are nice, my sister borrows them!
RHEA DE VERA
Would you allow your lover to pick a pair of shoes for you?
Yes, his choice would reveal how he sees me and how well he knows me and my style.
