The Week Leading Up To PHILIPPINE FASHION WEEK 2008
The past few days my diet consisted mainly of this...
That, and the occasional SIOPAO from our friendly neighbourhood bakeshop which happens to be open 24 hours.
I end up getting about 3
hours of sleep on the average because for most part of the day I'm working on my collection which is nowhere nearing it's completion. TOUGH!
So far, out of my 10-ensemble collection, I have completed 3.
Another thing that has been stressing me out is my shoemaker! It's already Friday and I still need to get hold of 6 pairs of shoes for the show. I have this nagging feeling that whenever I step out of the shop he stops working on my shoes to deal with other clients. Waaaaaahhhh...
The most fun I had in the past week was when I went to SMX Convention Center for the fitting. I was able to take a break for half-a-day. FYI, I was able to fit only the lining.
Then I realized that time was running short 'cause the my show falls on Tuesday so I had to do some of the work myself which is fun because it brings back the days when I was still in design school.
Look at my rack...
If you look closely, there's plenty of empty clothes hangers. I still have to produce 11 articles of clothing the last time I checked. Now I can't post more pictures of the clothes until after the show. :)
The picture below was taken on the day of the fitting. The bag is by Gionna Cabrera. It's the most lovely handcarved bag I have laid my hands on. And it's made out of one big chunk of wood, too, unlike other wooden bags that were just glued on together before carving. I wonder when I'll be able to finally afford one. :)
It also felt great to see some friends from design school again. They were present to help out fellow Benildeans fit the clothes. Thanks, guys! :D
Take a look at some of the pictures I took of my workspace..
Those are my stack of the patterns I drafted for Philippine Fashion Week 2008.
And that's me cutting fabrics. :D
And that's my lovely little stack of denim that I use for my fitting samples...
Wanted to post more pics but I have to get back to work...
