Enrico Carado -- Black face masks worn by all the models gave an instant eerie feel to the collection, while the scrunched-up sheer chiffon head pieces gave it a touch of glamour. Some pieces were rugged, looking like they were cut roughly and patched up back together -- yet somehow, the pieces were still dainty. Leather and metal fastening gave an illusion of shape without being too dominatrix-like, thanks to the use of soft fabrics and nude and earth colors. The collection was dubbed as “Tortured Souls” by the designer, who said he was inspired by director and author Clive Barker.
Kenneth Chua -- When the first model came out wearing red with fringe, cut-up lace, and nude tulle, you knew this was going to be a sexy collection. There was a slight “pirate ghoulishness” vibe to the outfits but without the pirates and more of a focus on the ghosts of women they kidnapped and drowned in sea, where they were preserved beautifully.
Joshua Guibone -- A collection of nude with accents of pink and yellow, the wired pieces looked like they came out straight of a Jetsons episode. Regine Dulay -- Stiff yet not stiff. The constructed pieces were designed in a way that gave the illusion to movement, piling panels of various fabrics to form unusual shapes. The designer took her inspiration from household objects -- broomsticks, blinds, husks, shredded paper, Japanese fans and spiral staircases.
Roland Alzaté -- Cleopatra as the modern woman -- that was the impression given by the collection. Sometimes the pieces were fierce and soft at the same time. You could actually imagine the Egyptian queen donning the ensembles and not losing her queen-ness, not even a bit -- although, she’d be on her way to work and play. Bright orange, blue, apple green and cinched waists dominated the collection. -- Camille E. R. Sarte
