Styling Stint: UNIQLO Fall/Winter '12 Launch

A few weeks ago, I, together with my favorite co-stylists, styled for UNIQLO's Fall/Winter 2012 Collection launch at Le Pavillion Metropark. With just a few hours of sleep (just came from Ilocos) I came to the set with overflowing enthusiasm (haha). It's my first time to style for UNIQLO plus I was with our "power team" -- with my veteran co-stylists Jear and Argie we were assisted by the best girlies Kaye, Bianca and Kai. :) It was the perfect balance of work and play! Jear originally thought we had to come up with 72 looks (weh haha) but it boiled down to 12 (haha!) and all looks were pre-styled, so petiks galore. We styled the mannequins on our own though! Photos!

Wasn't able to take photos na while the show was ongoing. Well, obviously. Haha. Fashion shows are always the craziest in styling. Everything happens in seconds, and you have to make sure the clothes are right, perfect and the changes are under 10 seconds if possible. I stationed myself at the stairs before the models walk the ramp to straighten out the clothes, check for misaligned stockings/leggings or creases! Wild.

stylists gone wild? LOL

You might be thinking, how on earth could we wear the pieces above in a tropical country such as ours. Well actually, they are pretty lightweight. You just need to style them well, it will depend on how you mix and match your clothes! It helps that it's colder now (hello BER months!) and it's raining almost everyday. All pieces were chosen to match Filipino's taste in fashion and our bipolar weather. Highlightd fall colors were blue, orange, maroon, mauve, purple, gray, etc. My favorite from the collection is the cape/poncho!!! What's yours?
