NIHONGO FIESTA (PH)
Japan recently came to Manila in the form of the Nihongo Fiesta, which includes a Street Fashion Exhibition and Contest promoting the cultural and arts exchange between the two countries. I was invited to judge the Street Fashion Contest and, I must say, the Filipino kids really came in their J-pop best. Apart from the contest, there was also an exhibit featuring style photos from the streets of Tokyo (courtesy of the Japan Fashion Association) and Manila (taken by our very own Filipino fashion icons - Cecile Zamora-Van Straten and Jujiin Samonte). It truly was a visual feast with everyone looking extraordinarily fashionable. So, without further ado, I'll just let the photos speak for themselves.

StyleWars (KL)
Last Thursday, I bore witness to an epic war that left no one injured or hurt (except heartache perhaps). The atmosphere was charged and there were loud yells and cheers all over, yet there was no animosity or ill intentions towards one another. Of course, this wasn’t just any war; this was StyleWars, a showcase for young Malaysian designers organized by Raffles International College. Click to view LOTS of pictures from the fashion show and style shots of some seriously stylish people there!
