Visualzine Fashion + Art Exhibit with Fashion Academy Manila

Philippine Fashion Week was already finished but still the Fashion Style still goes on and on. Last May 27, 2011 I was invited to cover the Visualzine fashion and art exhibit.  The exhibit was star-studded with local personalities named Maxene Magalona, Rich Asuncion, Bubbles Paraiso, Tim Yap, Raymond Gutierrez and some fashion models of Visualzine.

Visualzine together with Fashion Academy Manila intends to bring it all together under one roof to become a springboard for anyone who is passionate about modeling, design, photography and beauty. Featuring seven specialized curriculums focusing on Photography, Make-Up, Hair Creatives, Fashion, Styling, Modeling, Artists’ lab and Personality Enhancement, the academy provides a platform by which an inherent skill can be developed through practical application.

The exhibit was a rich showcase of photography, graphic design, light and fashion. Check out some images I taken on the said event.

How do you get your inspiration for the outfits you wear ?

Mainly I get my inspiration from fashion blogs I’m browsing daily, fashion magazines and from people meeting on the street.

What blogs and websites do you follow and why ? 

My favorite fashion blogger is Andy Torres form Style Scrapbook and I’m following her since 2009. This chic is really stylish and inspiring. And I really wouldn’t mind sharing closet with her = )  Apart from that I’m following a lot of polish and foreign blogs, for example Le blog de Betty, Streetdressed or Sanna’s Land of Illusion.

How would you describe your style ? 

I think I don’t have a specific style. I like to play with fashion and try new trends, colors, patterns and shapes in order to find a piece which completely suits me and my character. But definitely I like when my outfits are feminine with a pinch of rock’n’roll.

How do you choose your hosiery ? 

I think I don’t have any particular key. I just bought hosiery in colours and patterns I want to have at the moment.

What was the last item of hosiery you brought, how much you spent etc ?

It was black dotted tights, because I ripped off my old pair. I really love this pattern = ) I’ve spent less than 6 $/ 4 €.

Do you prefer sheer or opaque tights, stockings or holdups, socks or kneehighs, sheer toe or reinforced ? 

I definitely prefer opaque tights and kneehighs. Sheer toe tights I’m wearing only with peep toe shoes, in other cases I prefer reinforced.

Do you ever wear 10 denier tights or sheer hose if so how long do they last you ?

I wear at least 20 DEN tights and they last pretty long. I don’t wear 10 DEN tights, and I really hate sheer nude tights.

How does wearing tights make you feel emotionally ? More feminine, better with girly outfits not thought about it ?

 I love wearing dresses and skirts, so tights are good supplement to these. They can emphasize femininity and make outfit more interesting.

When do you wear hosiery, daily-once a week etc ?

I think I could wear hosiery all year round, except summer of course = ) There was time I wore tights daily 3 months in a row = ) But now it’s more or less 5 times a week.

What is your hosiery staple ? 

Definitely black opaque at least 40 DEN tights in fall and winter and sheer black 20 DEN tights in spring.

Do you keep a spare pair of tights in your bag ?

I do keep a spare pair in my bag only when I’m going on a wedding or some important party. In everyday use I forget about it.

The best and worst things about hosiery, Love-hate ?

The best thing is a right pair of tights help our legs look sexier and make them eye-catching. And the worst things are their impermanence and too strong elastic – band = )

If you want to see my whole tights collection don't hestitate and keep visiting my blog!
