Pam Quiñones Shares An Editor’s Perspective of the Vogue Philippines Gala

Fashion team getting ready.

Popped in the exhibition before dinner wearing Jude Macasinag’s stunning fully hand embroidered deconstructed T shirt and skirt. This look is from his Vanitas collection and it’s a showcase of High Craft.

Joyce is wearing a beautiful piece from Jojie Loren’s 2007 collection. Look at that SILHOUTTE!

Table hopped to say hi to these icons who have graced our pages and covers.

Had to do a selfie with Inno, a pillar of Philippine fashion.

Bea was asked by Clint Ramos what she is most proud of. She said, “the TEAM.”

A very dapper trio

Bryanboy called for a bathroom selfie / groufie / ussie ? (LOL)

This happened just before we made our way to the exhibition.

Multi-faceted creative and ultimate muse to designers, Jo Ann is an icon of Philippine fashion. She’s also so cool. She wears her own design with a Batanes cap (she picked up during the shoot) and a Zacarias clutch.

Lukeresia in Carl Jan Cruz is a standout.

Jasmine rewears her 10-year-old Vania Romoff dress.

Family affair with the Curtis-Smith’s.

Neric Beltran and Earl Semitara.

Neric’s brooch – upcycled from discarded plastic bottles found on the shores of Batangas.

It’s the same technique he employed to make the phylaenopsis dress on our cover story.

Fashion talk with Daryl and Carlos.

Changed into this upcycled look by Nina Amoncio. The top is constructed from 4 old leather jackets from my closet. The skirt is an old Vania piece I rented from Vestido.
