Personal Style: Earvin Aquino

Got the chance to finally make a "better" portfolio, special thanks to the early-than-expected announcement of the Philippine Fashion Week go see for 2009. Unluckily, I didn't get in. The taste of the panel is really hard to decipher yet, it will always serve as a room to improve more on myself.

So with that, I needed to make my portfolio, rush. And nobody does rush works perfectly than a very good friend/ photographer, Ahleks Fusilero (http://ahleks4u.multiply.com). For the clothes, I really didn't know what to go for. I based some of the clothes from different pegs(photos) I saw online and on editorials/ ads. Good thing, we were able to pull off a complete look; different looks ;)

Here's a glimpse of what's inside my model portfolio:

Adding "Height" To Your Style

Did you know that you can actually create an illusion of looking tall without the bloody, messy, expensive surgery? Yes you can! And for one reason, this is no health blog, so we skip the gruesome surgery talk... LOL

Your clothes can actually give you a little boost of height if you're not that gifted vertically. Making cuffs on your pants, 2-3 folds, can actually create a look that would somehow trick that you are tall. It's like showing that your pants are not long enough for you.

Can't picture it? Then scroll down and picture these:

Now bend down and try it! ;)

Advantage On Vintage

The sun is up and getting soaked wet one way or another will be simply irresistible. As you hit the streets, the beach, the waves, or whatever, add color to the scene with a vintage look.

You'll never go wrong with vintage... unless you overdo ;)

Simplicity In Chic Ways

What look should you have that can turn heads without having the sense of "overdoing" on yourself?

Tiger of Sweden's Spring/ Summer Campaign this year (2009) shows how to prep up without having to much complications, yet, preserving that "tick" of being a head turner. Simplicity yet chic for the modern man and woman... it's all about that.

Its Going To Be A Short Summer

Not that rain will kill the smile on our faces; summer marks a look for short shorts for men, which is not that much of a common male fashion these past few seasons. Days of the colored jeans may have had their turn on the spotlight, short shorts will definitely turn heads even more.

Ready To Wear McQueen

Alexander McQueen has been known to have a deep source of inspiration for his collections. In 2008, everyone was in awe for both the set design and clothing presented to the critical eyes. As for the present year, 2009 for McQueen is just new door to open, and also, something worth looking forward to for his followers.

Alexander McQueen's Ready-To-Wear collection for 2009, Fall/ Winter can be described in just a few words, that is "Awkwardly Superb, Disturbingly Amazing." Looking at his collections, I personally believe that the word "Great" is an understatement.
