Wow Bubum Melgar is now out and doing couture again? I know he stopped doing it for a long time and was only doing some gowns for close friends like Tina maristela ocampo. (who is gorgeous by the way and a former model). So is everyone here in manila? you guys in the fashion industry/ magazine publishing business?

Ronald Arnaldo's gown looks like a take on Julia Robert's vintage Valentino she wore for the oscars....

Hey ingenue! Um, no just tearing out pages of magazines and posting them.

I'm soon going to post more local designers that are just swell like Dennis Lustico.

Very ambitious and impressive designs for such a smaller market... especially the first dress which I love...
