Freeway x Levi Celerio - National Artists Collectors' Series Fall 2012

Hey Coffeeholics! Ever since 2009, Freeway has gone out of their way to reintroduce to the new generation of Filipinos an interest and a love for our very own Philippine Arts and Culture with the collaboration of our country's National Artists. Its awesome that Fashion and Art can come together to stir us all up to love our country and be proud to be a Pinoy. Thanks to Freeway, Fashionalism can now be hip and relevant. 

This Fall, Freeway has officially gone galactic with one of the most loved form of art and the universal language of mankind, Music.  Freeway is excited to feature its first National Artist for Music in the Series, Levi Celerio.



Levi Celerio is a composer and song writer.  Famous for being a lyricist, his songs treasure life; express nationalistic sentiments and complete grand philosophies.  He is best recognized as a Guinness Book of World Record holder for being the only person able to make music using just a leaf. Celerio was proclaimed National Artist for Music and Literature in 1997.

Get ready to fall head over heels with Freeway x Levi Celerio National Artist Collectors’ Series Fall 2012!  The stellar collection includes beautiful modern tailored dresses, sublimation print graphic tees, woven tops in chiffons and poplins, sexy printed knit mini dresses and accessories printed with words and lyrics from some of the most famous works of Celerio which includes Sa Ugoy ng Duyan, Saan Ka Man Naroroon, Ikaw ang Mahal Ko, Ang Daigdig Ko’y Ikaw, Ang Pipit and O Maliwanag na Buwan.  Lots of choices for that impressive workwear that lets you stand out or that memorable weekend get-away outfit.  It’s Freeway’s way of honoring Levi Celerio and his rich legacy to Philippine music. Don’t just sing his songs, wear them!  The collection is already available in all Freeway stores. Check out some of the clothes from this collection which I really liked a lot!

Hey Coffeeholics! This is what I wore during the One Hyundai Club - Life in Style event and Philippine Fashion Week. That day I really had a jam packed day of events. It was fun and I'm so glad I wore this outfit. Would you believe that the dress is thrifted? And guess what, it was my mom who saw this and gave this to me. Hehe. Thanks mom! You're the best!

During that day I also went to the Superb Bazaar at SMX where I saw Ana from Anagon Collection. Its always awesome meeting up with this gal. You should check out her awesome online store where she sells these affordable and chic accessories.

IMPALPABLE by Michael Cinco x Bench at Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2012

I've always wanted to watch a fashion show by Michael Cinco. So when I got an invite to watch a fashion show by Michael Cinco during Philippine Fashion Week I was thrilled! This fashion show was a collaboration with BENCH for the launching of IMPALPABLE - a new designer scent by Bench.

Allison looks absolutely gorgeous!

As we entered the event place for the fashion show, we were greeted with scent samples of Impalpable - the latest designer scent by Michael Cinco in collaboration with Bench. I love the scent and makes you feel definitely beautiful and glamorous.

IMPALPABLE by BENCH
I know its around 400+ pesos only!

Anyway, besides the brand new fragrance, the whole setup of the fashion show really stole our attention. I LOVE THE SET. It was ethereal. It was magical. It really set the mood and built the anticipation of the people.

It was like straight out of a magical forest kind of setting plus the music being played was very mystical and ethereal. Definitely it made you really expect that this show was going to be awesome. And of course, Michael Cinco did not fail to deliver! Be enamored and captivated by Michael Cinco's princess-like creations.

Yes that's Dominique Reighard from America's Next Top Model ALL STAR Cast! 

I apologize for the low quality photos. I am now using a Nikon digi cam which I think is an old model. I'm still not familiar with it hence most of my long distance shots are fail. :( My photos cannot even fully and eloquently show how beautiful the models and their Michael Cinco gowns were. 

Another ANTM All Star Cast - Allison Harvard - image model of Impalpable.
And yes, another fail photo. :( most of my photos after this was blurry. I  couldn't get decent photos of her. huhuhu.

She even perched on the swing right in front of us. Whenever I snap the photo, I miss her face shot by the second. Yes its frustrating. :P So what the heck, why not borrow some photos from other sites - so much more decent than what I have.

Look at the awesome details of this princess-like dress! LOVE LOVE IT!

And of course, the man of the hour, MICHAEL CINCO. Truly it feels as if his creations were made by magic! I got to know his creations at America's next top model. I had always wanted to watch his show but had no opportunity to do so until now. I feel so blessed and privileged! 

THANK YOU BENCH and Mr. Laurence Cua for the invite! And hats off to Michael Cinco for making us Filipinos proud again with your wonderful collection.

Don't forget to drop by a BENCH store nearest to you and check out the IMPALPABLE fragrance!
