Here's another Filipino designer who has taken my breath away! I really don't have any access to Philippines fashion circuit save for Style Bible online, who thankfully, does showcase some of the rising stars of the nation's design sphere. Joel Escobar's Holiday 2011 collection showcase some of the most ornate dresses I have seen since the reign of Georgina Chapman and Marchesa. From glamourous ruching, to maribou fringing and gorgeous textures applied on the simplest of silhouettes, Mr. Escobar is definitely not one to be conservative. Just by the look of his colour palette, my god it screams with vibrancy and a richness, enough to up the ante for whoever chooses to wear his pieces. I am astounded by the talent that I have seen from my home country, really. Not that there was any doubt. Not at all. I just can't believe that this is what I have been missing out on. Fortunately, I now have Style Bible as my access to the collections of very artistic and talented of Filipino designers. So much easier no? Here are some of my faves;
Luxe and uber glam! Love it.
