Walter Quijada's Summer End Fashion Show

"Dreams do come true" a famous phrase from the ultimate Anne-bisyosa, Anne Curtis always says. And indeed it does. Fashion Designer Walter Quijada became a Fairy god-mother for a night making precious fantasies into a reality.
The show took place last May 23, 2012 at CAP Auditorium.

Personally, i never expected the show would turn out to be such. I had the opportunity to witness one of Walter's earlier fashion show (Summer Solstice held in Station 91, March 2012) and comparisons are inevitable. It was unusual to see the auditorium filled with family and friends of models. It was fun!

The show started with a quote from Genesis: At the beginning there was darkness" (or something like that). Then came out veiled ladies (which kind of reminded me of Morticia Adams of Adams Family) wearing exquisite dresses in black. I really admire the creativity in starting the show so dark yet divine and how it transcended into something lively, playful and full of colors.

The first part of the show consists of outfits of colorful shades. Most of the clothes has simple yet unique cuts and structure suitable for everyday wear. It has a relaxing vibe appropriate for that last minute summer splash or just having fun in the sun just before the rainy season begins.

The second part was filled with formal wears and bridal collection with excellently tailored structures. The cuts and details surely contributed to the elegance of the whole look of the collection.



But what captured my interest are the models wearing the collection. They aren't the usual models that I've seen  in previous fashion shows I've attended to (and believe me when i say I've been to a lot). i see the adversities and uniqueness of these models that i don't usually see walking in the regular runway. I've also seen the potentials with their passion and flare which are rare-finds these days. Surely, they still could use some improvement and still can blossom to their best. yet, they are still fresh and young so there's no need to rush. 

I look forward in attending shows like such! 

My Rating: 3 inspiring stars!
