SOMETHIN' FOR THE PEOPLE
I went to the "public unveiling" of Philippine Fashion Week 06 at the Glorietta Activity Center yesterday. It was hosted by Raymond Gutierrez and his more popular twin brother Richard.
Oddly enough, for this supposed debut show, casual wear or "Easy Fashion" was featured, a far cry from the typical high fashion stuff that has been on full display thus far. Another unusual thing was that the show was extremely short, clocking in at just barely 30 minutes.
I guess these facts reflect how the fashion industry views the "public." No wonder the fashion industry isn't thriving; it may be too busy being elitist.
The lighting isn't as favorable as that of the previous shows because of the venue change. And since I don't use flash, I suggest that all of you should just learn to appreciate high contrasts, harsh lights, and deep shadows.
