Meeting @nixalanon and @rajolaurel

Hello!

I am late in posting due to puyat and all the extra stuff I have been doing. So before I disappear today for the Azkals game (yes I am a certified follower of the team and kung finafollow niyo post ko kilala nyo kung sino favorite ko na member. Clue--> I call him Capt. Von Trapp hahaha) eto na!

During the final day of Fashion week, the Fierces had the privilege of watching the Bench Fashion Show featuring Rajo Laurel's launch for his perfume and jeans line. Dubbed as Rajo-Revolution, the show was energetic and had the youth vibe. If you have seen the photos in Rajo's blog and fashion sites, you know what I mean.  With all the dancing and grinding on the stage, I can tell you that one person stood out for me aside from Rajo: Joey Mead.  She was perhaps the model who I saw that really rocked the stage (and it helped that she was dressed punk as she in vibe the tough look for her character).

After the show ended, people in the area were taking photos and buying Rajo's collection. Unfortunately the Fierces were really not allowed to take photos with celebrities because of a strict rule we followed from Divine. This all changed after we exited the room and Nix Alanon dropped by to say hello to us. He was very nice to the group and was game in taking photos with us. Soon, Rajo and even Direct Robby Carmona joined in the fun and we all were happy. Wala nga masyadong pictures with celebrities but look naman....Rajo, Nix and Direct were happy meeting us fierces aka Divine's minions hahaha! :))

The good thing that came out of this? A gathering of the Fierces with the possibility of the three in attendance. Bongga diba! It is humbling to know that busy people in the fashion industry and celebrities in their own right take time to get to know their followers. A mentioned in my previous post, Direct Robby is one of the nicest people I've met in the industry. Oh and just to insert in, Rajo tweeted back yesterday when I asked him about his jeans collection having a plus size since I wasn't sure if I would fit in one and for that I was just glad he answered.

The group with the one and only Rajo Laurel. Special thanks to Daniel  for the photos.

Will try to post more photos soon. Sana ready na lahat so I can upload and and upload. Watch out for Fierce profiles where in you will get to know each Fierce member soon.

Bumping into Direct Robby Carmona

Hello!!!

Medyo delayed ako sa post because I have been busy with some rackets (not to mention sleep since I am awake until 1am in the morning kaloka!). I am also trying to figure out how the other fierces can post considering I had to use my email address to access blogger. Hopefully I'll be able to transfer it otherwise I'll be force to give them my e-mail to access the site.

So jumping from the what We Wore Segment, I had the privilege and honor of meeting Direct Robby Carmona during Fashion Week last Saturday. I confess  to be an admirer (and was startruck hahaha!) of the man behind Saga Events because I have watched so many shows and discovered that Direct has been in the profession for the longest time. He has mastered the craft of putting spectacular productions from product events to fashion shows  (I hope he'll give a talk again soon as I really wanted to learn from him about productions and stuff) so it was fortunate for me to meet him. When I tweeted that I wanted to interview him for the blog, he tweeted back and you cannot imagine the excitement in my eyes. Initially hesitant to approach him, I finally did and was able to have a short conversation. I had my tape recorder with my me but for some strange reason, our talk was not recorded at all (big time arrrgh! ) but thank goodness for a good memory, I was able to recall our conversation.

I asked him about directing shows and the challenges that comes with it and he admits there is a huge pressure to making the shows spectacular and for the audience to love it it. He also commends his team from Saga because they step up when he's too busy already to handle all the shows coming their way.

As for the future of Fashion, he see nowhere but for the industry to go up considering so many avenues (Twitter, Facebook, Blogs) are now available for today's generation. He also sees Philippine Fashion going international (which is now happening with the likes of Michael Cinco, Oliver Tolentino, Francis Libiran and Rajo Laurel featured in America's Next Top Model as well as other designers getting featured in international magazines or clothes worn by celebrities).

Lastly, I asked him about those who want to follow in his footsteps and those who want to make it in the fashion industry. he simply said to "go for it, enjoy and be experimental."

After that encounter, we had a photo taken and I feel like my dream has come true. I hope to bump into Direct Robby again soon and who knows, maybe he can contribute more ideas for the Fierces since we have come to love him as much as we love Divine, Victor and all those who have come to embrace us.

The author with Direct Robby Carmona. So honored to finally meet Direct!

Fierces look at Fashion Week Saturday May 26

Due to popular demand, I am posting photos of the Fierces from last Saturday's Fashion Week shows. We came in force to support two of Divine's favorite designers; Tina Daniac and Veejay Floresca (who I love in Project Runway).  Going to post in the coming days more stuff  but without further ado, here are some of the Fierces' photos.

Yours truly in what I call the "secretary" look.

Tin wearing a powder blue dress and green bib necklace.

Borj in a relax look na we all agree Penshoppe look peg :P

Allyson in a bustier top and bias cut skirt which is very in nowadays.

Jencee looking polish in her ensemble. I love the green skirt. Style ka pa kay Victor kala mo lang haha :P

Our fierce organizer Jasmin in an ensemble from Forever 21.

Our future stylist Fifi. Type ko yung bag girl!

Love the gold chain!

Allen, Shine and Allyson. We baptized them as Powerpuff girls because they were all wearing bias cut skirts and colors pa ng PP girls yung skirts haha :))

It was good to see all members of the Fierces gather even for at least two days. Watch out for our shots with Nix Alanon, Rajo Laurel and Robby Carmona (who I was able to stalk for a short conversation).
