Where you at the PLATFORM?

The PLATFORM Show last Sunday held at the Ronac Center has got to be one of the coolest events I've ever been in (given it was organized by the uber cool Sarah Meier). :) Catch, Tracy, Mich and I spent hours looking at amazing locally made merchandise as well as people watching. I swear, it was like a mini Fashion Week or I felt like we were at Harajuku lane. Heh. Everyone's so fashion forward! Also saw a lot of celebrities there. Anyhoo, here are photos I snapped at the event!

See You at PLATFORM!

What is PLATFORM Manila? It is Manila's First Youth Culture Convention on March 18, 2012, SUNDAY, at The Playground, Ronac Art Center, Ortigas Ave. :) I'll be there the whole day at the Chocolate Clothing booth so see you and pls say hi!:)

40 booths, a central blogger and guest lounge, a DJ booth and stage. Live music, art, and energy. The Platform event becomes kilometer zero for the day as the country's youngest and most dynamic designers, creators, and entrepreneurs exercise their style, networking, sales, and marketing skills. The event aims to be the youth's first "grown up" culture convention, as well as an opportunity for the market to understand the scope of what kids today are capable of.

Selling opportunities, as well as a literal screen and stage, a well curated crowd, and an energy hub become the key elements to harnessing the explosive potential of our young, creative, global Philippines. 

In my love Alyssa's words ---"It's sort of like a bazaar...only cooler! HAHA There are booths selling stuff, (some are blogger owned like Reg's Peace Love Fashion and Mike and Karl's Paradigm Shift!), a DJ the whole time, live art, ALCOHOL, a blogger lounge and a kick ass program that includes a fashion show (which a few bloggers will be joining!). The whole idea of this event is to bring together fashion, streetwear and art and also serve as a 'platform' (hence the name!) for local and independent brands. Support the industry! :D  It's actually organized by Sarah Meier and her husband Banj Albano.".

 Sounds pretty cool! All roads lead to Ronac on Sunday, so see you there!!!!:) Wear something Pinoy while you're at it!:)

KEDS: Original Sneakers Exhibit

So I braved the Manila traffic last Monday just to be able to attend 2 events--"KEDS: Original Sneakers Exhibit" at the Ronac Art Center, Greenhills and an intimate dinner with Vicky Herrera and Sarah Meier at Big Bad Wolf resto for their book Unscripted (separate post). Both were fun in different levels. :) I had fun at the KEDS event because I'm a huge fan since way way back!

Gift from Dred blue dress, Closet Chic purse, Chickflick oxford heels, Bubbles necklace, Soulifestyle belt

Believe me when I say, I just threw on the 1st thing I saw lying around our apartment. I'm seriously running out of clothing/outfit options! Uuugh. Anyway, back to the event.
