MARQUEE STYLE ORIGIN PHOTODIARY

The day after the SM PFW show, it was off to Pampanga for the Marquee Mall leg of Ayala Style Origin. We were there for 4 days: clothes selection, fitting for the guest models, and the two show dates, and those days were nothing but fun. I'm warning you now, this is a very photoheavy entry coz like I said here, I take too much pics and I have a hard time cutting down on which to post. But considering it was 4 days, I think I did not so bad. ;)

The Show
Because of the number of brands joining, we had 2 show dates for Marquee Mall. The styling team under Luis Espiritu and JCA's Poli and Erin arrived Thursday while the rest of the bunch came in on Saturday. The Manila models went around the mall to fit their clothes upon arrival and then rehearsals pushed through thereafter. After lunch, make-up, and a couple of hours with a PMS-guy in between, it was show time.

my id. i love working with JCA :)

The Music
My favorite local album of all time has got to be Urbandub's Influence. It was literally on repeat in my ipod during 4th year high school. I remember wanting to catch them live and was thrilled when I found they were performing in Mag:Net Katipunan but my curfew was 12 and I had to leave before they even got there, haha! Finally watched them play during our Orsem, making me believe that Ateneo was the right choice (just kidding, Ateneo had always been the choice♥). I digress, so yeah, they performed during Day 1 of Style Origin whereas Franco took the stage during Day 2.
