YoU mag launch, among other things

I promise myself I will update more frequently. I have such a long backlog of entries that won’t make sense to post now so my past few (super late) entries have been about the more important bits of my ‘fashion life’. This one will be not different but it will be the last of these late posts. Promise!

Two Saturdays ago was the launch of YoU magazine and along with four of my schoolmates, I showed two punk rock inspired outfits at their show. I shall have proper photos taken as soon as I get them back, right now I only have a not-so-detailed runway shot of one of them.

So yea, it looks like a puff of pink because I did make a puff of pink.. a hot pink tutu. I’m especially happy about the back of the bustier, where the zipper is attached tot he bodice using rows of safety pins, but as I said, I’ll just post detail photos here next time. It was a nicely done show all-in-all, the place was really packed. So full, in fact, that I got stuck in the middle of it trying to get out for around 10 minutes without getting one inch closer to the exit. But it was all nice, really. The other schools who showed outfits were Colege of St. Benilde, SOFA and FIP. None of them went up the stage when they were called though.. wonder why. So I don’t know them.. if they were students of faculty.

Okay have to go, Pattern III class is about to start.. and kacci and gloomy apparently have some pressing chika to tell. Haha.

In stylebible and You Magazine

Grab a copy of You magazine, Sep/Oct issue =) You magazine is fashion + music.

It’s Sonja Lehmann.. not sonJa haha.

Sonja Lehmann, Shermaine Katindig, Steffi Go and Kristine Bautista are my schoolmates at La Salle College International =)

I saw a couple of my old classmates from diff. schools in that issue.. weird.

Speaking of old classmates, I’m realising that keeping in touch is much easier said than done. Even in this age of mobiles, cars and Facebook, months, and even years in some cases, would go by without seeing friends who I used to be with day in and out. Just recently, it took a few days and dozens of messages just to confirm a lunch with some of my old friends for next week. It’d be great to see them again but I’m well prepared for last minute cancellations as more pressing matters have the habit of coming up these days.

Some things can’t be helped but in the end, I think it’s worth the effort.. specially when plans push through =)

Our Fabric fashion show is on stylebible.ph Stylebible.ph is Preview magazine online.
