Eric delos Santos for Karimadon

A few months ago, I had the opportunity to style for one of the country's top brands when it comes to women's formal clothing. They initially got me to style for 2 editorials that were supposed to be forwarded to magazines. The project didn't pushed through, but they were able to use the shoot in their website, Facebook and Instagram page, and also on other local websites and for bloggers. We were also able to use the behind the scenes footage on my t.v. show Style List.

Have you met my long-lost, Spanish sister Sara? Hahaha, no, she's actually a friend I was able to get to know more during our Ayala Style Origin days. For a few months last year, we were together almost everyday inside Ayala Malls here in Manila and in other parts of the country. She was assigned to help us during our Metro Weddings Editorial "Love on Sandy Shores" that came out October 2014. I'm always mesmerized by her Spanish beauty and hypnotic eyes, and that's the reason why I wanted to make a side-project with her during our editorial. Good thing she's game and as you can see, this girl is really a stunner.

Happy 2015, everyone!!! I promised to update this blog before the year ends and put all my 2014 projects here... but... family first!!! And I'm sure I've skipped a project or a campaign before this... actually maybe a few.

Anywho... so here is another Metro Weddings editorial I directed and styled. I conceptualized with Rae Venturanza-Salazar (W@w top, make-up artist), a friend I got to know more over the past two years. She showed me the pegs for something desert-ty and I absolutely loved it. Made me think of getting hitched in Vegas then hitting the desert to snap photos of the bride. For this editorial, Noel though of putting the original photo next to how it was layed-out in the magazine. I used some of them for this entry.
