The main Highlights from Style Fashion Week LA F/W 2013-14


Hailing from Los Angeles, Linden headed by designer Jennifer Lynn has always exuded a calm and cool sensibility in short, a very west coast vibe. We can say it is not only a fashion week but it is the main source of women fashion forecasting. The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, a novel by Haruki Marukami, inspires her Fall/Winter 2013-14 collection, which is perfect since Linden usually turns to art, music, literature and film as inspiration points for her creative juices. Linden often uses recyclable materials and keeps the manufacturing close to home in Los Angeles.

Highlight from CPFW Fashion Premiere Night


As we continue to cover the fabulous fashions exhibited at PLDT Canada Philippine Fashion Week‘s marquee event, Fashion Premiere Night at Roy Thomson Hall, we cannot NOT talk about how the evening took us all the way to Manila by their savvy themed segments throughout the show. We can say that it is the main source of women fashionforecasting, Francis Libran’s epic fashion presentation was of course, amazing, but what was even more ingenious was the evening’s salute to the country’s various festivals. Pistahan de Couture had a parade of key gowns by select designers that were inspired by a particular festival.
