WHO'S THAT GIRL... IT'S JES!!!

Just sharing with you one of my happiest works to date as a designer---my Jessica Graphic Shirt.

What makes this special is that the girl printed on the design is one of my most treasured friends, my sweetiecake jessicake JESSICA YANG. :)

We were talking before about model Ornussa Cadness having been printed on a graphic shirt for Topman. Jess and I both thought it was super cool. And being a designer for Folded & Hung, (ehem) the country's one of the leading fashion brands (ehem), I decided to do the same with Jes, since she told me that it's also one of her dreams. 

Few months later, after design processes and product development, here comes the shirt I designed for her! The photo came from Jes herself, since the original photo of her that I wanted to put on the shirt was kinda "out of permission" to be used. But anyway, I really think the shirt design really captured what I wanted to express. 

I created a whole collection of graphic shirts inspired by her photo. And the collection (Yes, including this shirt) will be out on September at all Folded and Hung branches nationwide.

PS. Jess loves spicy food and so do I. I want to call the shirt Chili Chica Wow Wow coz it is so freakin HOT!!! :)

I really wish I made her happy. Besides, it's not everyday you get printed on a shirt and be sold all around the country. :)

Anniversary Event for Cosmopolitan Magazine and Metro Magazine!

Last night was an unexpected dose of fun, energy and drinks with some of my coolest and awesome friends, as we attended the Cosmopolitan 15th Anniversary event at NBC Tent and Metro Magazine Event at Prive Club at The Fort.

Fun started when Slater drove for the first time in Manila, as he was already able to get his driver license yesterday. He promised me before that he will drive me as soon as he gets his drivers license, and he really kept his promise. Caress and I were his first passengers! YAY!

sorry pero ang gwapo lang talaga ng "driver" namin last night! haha

The night was filled with awesome chats, picture taking here and there, drinks (i just had sips from my friends' glasses. LOL) and dance moves. 

We also partied with our other PBB close friends. I missed my girl Denniesse a lot! And also my bestie Jessica Yang and her boo John James Uy. :)

Just wanna say that I am so proud of my booty Caress! She definitely pulled off the dress and sheer blazer I provided for her, despite her injuries in the legs. And double YAY for I was able to make her wear heels! Not just plain heels but RED PUMPS! Achieve! So seldom that I get to pursuade her to up her style a bit and dress up for events. :p

As usual, Slater looked so dapper and hot in his suit and shirt,matched with his gwapo shoes and jeans. His stylist for the night talking... ehem! LOL

Enjoy some of the pics I took from last night's events.

Sharing drinks with our magical straw. :p

Till my next event post!

HEY MONDAY!

Nothing but good vibes and love the whole day. I spent my day cooking pasta, meeting a client then bonding and catching up with one of my most favorite person in the world--- JESSICA!

It was so nice finally seeing her again, after quite a while, and we ended up eating, chatting up and moving from one place to another whole afternoon and evening.

Finally, I got to give her the drawing I made for her, and my long overdue Christmas present, and was able to have her taste my own recipe of vegetarian pasta I named after her.

The portrait of her that I made. :)

Two foodies unite! haha! At Starbucks eating the potato pudding and Jessica Supermodel vegetarian pasta I made for her. :)

Sweetie working the jacket I made for her. It's part of my <organic> collection last year. (a capsule collection I made for my aunt's friend's boutique in Hawaii) 

Jessica bought two rings for us. Mine's a bird (I love birds) and her's is a two loop with chains. SWEET! :)

The birdie ring she bought for me. CUTE!!!

 I always love hanging out with friends, not just friends but real friends whom you know are genuine and without pretentions whatsoever.

And did I tell you that whenever we see each other, I always get inspired fashion-wise? She is like my mana tree of fashion inspiration---I feel recharged and rejuvinated. She makes me feel FASHION in its truest sense.

Now I'm spending the night designing clothes and stuff. And proly planning on a collaborative collection with her.

Goodnight guys! :)

JESSICA SWEET CAKE :)

*original photo* credit: Jessica's FB account.

Here is my attempt in drawing my most favorite model friend/muse/fashion inspiration/sweet cake--JESSICA YANG.

To people who know me, it is no surprise to know how much I truly adore this girl. She is one of the sweetest and most genuine person I know in the fashion world. And I am very glad to be having the privilege of calling her my friend. :)

I so love this girl, and I made this drawing/painting (I used watercolor pencils) of her to give as an advance Happy Birthday present for her.

I rarely do portraits/draw people. I love drawing stuff but not people's faces. I mean, I'm fine drawing faces but not copying a certain face because I am not very good at it. This one, is a brave attempt and I think I kinda deserve a pat on the back. hehehe. Plus, this is the very first portrait art that I made. YAY! 

And as far as I know, in my entire life, I have only given paintings/drawings I made to three people so far, and those were just abstract art/drawings. (Of course, not counting the fashion sketches I have given to all my clients-LOL). Two paintings I have given to my best friends in college, and one painting just the other year to my other model bestfriend who got married. (Actually I am not really confident of giving/gifting artworks I made to people...) Jes will be the fourth one--but the first to receive a portrait I have made. :) 

I just adore her like that. :)

Here's one of my favorite pics with her, taken during my Dots and Stripes Birthday Celebration last year at 7th High Superclub.

^___^ 

Cheers to having amazingly beautiful friends, both in and out. :)

And Happy Chinese New Year to all, too!
