Ladies in cocktails

A cocktail is defined as a drink made up of a mixture of different beverages — for example, fruit juice or soda and usually alcohol — and this is also how fashion is shaped. It is a mixture of different fabrics, textures and materials or elements combined together — shaken or stirred, the result is something new. Fashion is that process of combining ideas and concepts to create something unusual and, hopefully, beautiful. Diageo recently hosted a party at Fiamma to celebrate its brands and to bring cocktails to fashion with ladies dressed in diverse cocktails of style and accessory.

Cris Chanyungco

Her good friend Mich Araullo designed Cris’s dress. The earrings are from H&M, the bag from LV, and the shoes from BCBG. She is a banker who loves to shop.

Paula Rosales

Account executive Paula wears a Pinko Italy bubble dress, Janylin patent pump shoes and a Valerie Stephens USA bag. Her vintage necklace accents her pre- World War II fashion inspiration.

Vicky Montenegro

Managing editor for Preview magazine Vicky wears a Bayo shirt and a skirt she bought recently on a trip to Korea. The necklace is from New York, which she actually “stole” from her mother who recently got back from a vacation there. The vintage clutch bag is from her American friend Carole and her shoes are from Mango.Jolene Francisco

Jolene wears a dress from Moonshine Clothing Line. Her accessories are gold bangles and pearl earrings. She chose to match her bronze dress with a turquoise Coach wrist bag with Janilyn brown peep-toed stilettos with a turquoise accent. She looked to the ’60s for inspiration that night.

Mela De Luna

Manual style editor Mela wears a brown striped T-shirt dress she bought from Jag with dark stockings and black patent Maryjane pumps from VNC. She accessorizes with gold hoop earrings and a dragonfly necklace from Topshop. She describes her style as “the clubbing look” — comfy but still sexy and not over the top.

Bianca Juani

Bianca wears a dress by Marc Jacobs and shoes by Tyler. She wears vintage gold accessories and her style is about modernizing vintage silhouettes. She is a graphic artist and sculptor.

Kato Chua

Kato bought her top and jeans from Hong Kong. The skinny jeans are her favorite and the bag is from Mango. This account manager never leaves the house without her bangles, which she got in Bangkok.

Karla Soliman

Bailey’s brand manager Karla wears her favorite Mango dress. She loves the print design and wears it with a cover-up for both the office and after work. She chooses very simple, classic accessories to complement her sleek and sexy but definitely not-over-the-top  style.
