The Instax Mini 90 Neo Classic is Finally Here!

Best in late talaga ako sa post and sa event itseeeeelf. Yeees. Me already. But! Better late than never ever!:) Went to the Instax Mini 90 launch at Cerchio Resto Tomas Morato last month. I didn't make it to the program but I was still able to join in the fun! Picture picture galore. I was able to grab photos from the clingys though. So here it is! Guys, meet my future jowa. Haha.

 Presenting... The new Instax Mini 90 Neo Classic!

Fell in love with it in an instant. You all know how much I love anything classic, retro or vintage. So this one's really a winner! Love the classic black & silver color and the boxy design, reminds me of the vintage cameras I use during my vintage themed prenuptial shoots! :) It has amazing features that you might switch from digicam to instax na. Angela of Lush Angel rounded it up for you and me!

• High performance flash- helps optimize the exposure
• Party mode- enables the background as well as the subject to be captured brightly
• Kids mode- helpful to capture fast moving subjects like children and animals
• Landscape mode- best suited to target a distant subject
• Brightness control-add a low-key or high-key effect by controlling the brightness of photos
• Macro mode- lets you enjoy stunning close-up photography
• Bulb exposure mode- In bulb exposure mode, the shutter remains open (up to 10 seconds) while the shutter button is depressed, enabling photo capture that shows attractive night views and light streaks.You can take expressive photos, with more fun added to instax photography.
• Double exposure mode- By selecting the double exposure mode and pressing the shutter button twice, you can superimpose two different images in one frame to create an artistic photo. Show your creativity with a unique photo. 
• Mode dial- By rotating the dial, you can switch modes and functions while looking through the viewfinder.
• Battery- A rechargeable battery is used.
• Tripod socket- can be attached to a tripod giving it stability, especially important when using the double exposure or bulb mode 
• Self-Timer function - yahooo!

Are you sold na? Coz I am!!! It retails for P8, 980. It's totally worth it!:) There's so much you could do with it so get ready to bring out the artsy in you.

Louis Claparols x Ensembles

About Louis Claparols

Louis Claparols (pronounced as Louie) is one of the most celebrated fashion designers today. He’s the elected president of Young Designers Guild (YDG), he once co-owned a vintage store in Rockwell called Marni’s Room, and is now collaborating with Ensembles for a capsule Holiday collection.


He rose to fame with his collection of embellished jeans which further evolved to making sportswear-inspired clothing. But he always surprises everyone at every fashion show he’s part of and shows the audience something new.

“I grew up with a very chic mom. And I believe Fashion is in our blood”, Claparols recalled when asked how his interest in fashion design began. He has female cousins who were top models in the 80’s and a brother who’s a famous bag and accessory designer in New York.

Rich experience in retailing backed by strong fashion design skills and learning, has made Claparols a well-rounded designer. Another advantage that he has over other designers is being part of the Young Designers Guild (YDG). “Being part of YDG has opened a lot of doors for me. I wouldn’t be where I am now without being under the banner of the guild. And being the elected president of the guild, I guess, is my way of giving back to YDG.”

The Collection

Claparols Holiday 2010 Collection for Ensembles consists of very art-deco dresses, tops, skirts, boleros and trench coats. Each piece in this special pocket-collection features distinctive retro-feel prints made into cut-out patch detailing that one can see how intricate and how much passion was put in every piece of this beautiful collection. Louis used colorful stretch fabrics with a mix of prints in the details, making the pieces look crisp and flattering.

Q&A with Louis Claparols

• What is your inspiration for your Ensembles’ Collection designs?

It was inspired by a lot of things from architecture to graphic art to my favorite movies. I played with a lot of lines and shapes & cutout prints to make it really graphic & playful.

• What is your favorite piece from the entire collection?

I love the diamond collection, I love how beautifully graphic it is.

• How do you feel about this collaboration for a capsule collection with Ensembles?

Well I always wanted to collaborate with a local women’s label and I’m just so flattered that I was invited to do a capsule collection.

And now may I present to you guys ENSEMBLE's Holiday Collection...

   

  I want these dresses and cute skirt.

 

2nd from the left dress is my favorite!:) Also lovin' the print on the 4th dress.

 

I love the shorts:)

 

I would love to have the sleeveless trench! (1st photo from left)

 

That skirt is just super quirky and chic:) (1st from left)

 

I personally love the patterns, prints and cut of the clothes. They are quirky, retro, mod-ish and chic all at the same time. Of course I am biased coz this girl loves her vintage. Lol. But, seriously this is an awesome collaboration. I think these are not yet out in stores but get your wallets ready for some serious MOD shopping--soon. :)
