JOEL ESCOBER FOR FASHION WATCH

Just got home from a two-hour Easter Vigil. Haven't attended one in a while. Thank goodness it was air-conditioned, and the lights were turned OFF for effect. Not that I was sleeping. Nooo. Heeh. It was better because it gave the mass a more solemn effect. (We had candles on) Halfway through it of course they turned it on to signify that Jesus has risen. Because I seldom get to go--having the chance to hear mass always makes me feel better. But since I got here on Thursday, I've been to 10 churches (for Bisita Iglesia) and a two hour mass. Check! Pogi points for my "good" book. I wanted to go to confession as well, but I think it was a majorest event for all the priests because there wasn't even one for anyone to confess to. Wow.

Anyway, sorry, I did say that I was going to update. But vacation mode took over and it was a marathon of movies and early nights in. In other words, *BLISSS* Siiiiigggh. =)

Anyway, heeeh. Back to fashion, this time, its Joel Escober for Fashion Watch.

Signature surface texture with tailored mens suiting in between.

Henjoy!








This is my favorite piece.

The end.

Day Three
Luxe Wear Collection A
Oh no. That was the first thought that came to mind when i was looking through Escobars collection for fashion week days before the final show. Fully sequined copper fabric? Not only is it associated with diva showgirls, its actually quite hard to pull off. Full Review Here...
Then comes his show, the first girl out indeed wore the metallic sparkles but the shine was trapped beneath a same tone outer layer of chiffon effectively masking the glare. "I wanted glitz and glamour." Joel explained. And it was that and more, It was tasteful, contemporary and chic. He also played with surface texture adding liquid finish circle paillettes on already winking ebony sequined dresses, and it wasn't tacky at all. In fact, it was luxe with a capital L. Knowing that the glimmer might be enough of a distraction already, he did simple shift dresses in classic shapes. He also downplayed undisguised shine with matte solid statement neckpieces of pleated taffeta, corded lace, distressed tulle and tassels. But strangely, his strongest pieces were the ones that came with no sheen at all, the pretty rust colored pouffy dress in varying layers of chiffon and the edgy black mini tube dress with pleated scallop details called out to the fashion lovers in all of us.
