CHARLENE ALMARVEZ: NYFW REVIEW

k,l; Here are the list of shows FORD Filipina international top model CHARLENE "CHAT" ALMARVEZ did during the recently concluded New York Mercedes Benz Fashion Week (Fall 2012). Though we have missed fellow Filipina, Ford Supermodel of the World Danica Magpantay in New York this season, Chat did a great job for walking a total of 13 shows this season which includes her opening for A Detacher, and her impressive 5th consecutive season for Nanette Lepore.

Continuing the winning streak of Asian models on runway shows lately, Chat surely did represent Filipina beauty on the international scene, once again.

This has been a great season for Chat, her best so far. With her visa issues last year resulting for her not being able to do shows in Europe, I hope this time, she and her representing agency (Elite Milan and Elite Paris) will be able to fix things out. I can't wait to see her doing shows in Milan and Paris. Milan Fashion week will commence in a few days, I am stoked. Hope she makes it.

Her walk has improved a lot from her previous seasons, it comes off stronger and more controlled (but in a good way) this year. And I totally love that she adds a very different dimension and fresh dynamics to the concept of "asian look" in runway. And I truly love her facial expression on the runway. If Sasha Pivovarova has her famous "death stare" on runways, Chat has what I call the "ninja stare". ^_^ That certain look in her eyes which spells fierce and deadly but in a concealed way. That type of stare which looks lonely and sad but at the same time you can feel that it is fighting from within---and it is just waiting to strike in a blink of an eye. (Gah, It's just so hard to explain it. 0_0)

You're on your way to the top, Chat. And a hardworking model like you will surely make it there, sooner than we all know. :)

Hugs and kisses! xxx
