Havaianas Flip Flop + Doormat

Way back in 1907, a factory that produced simple and cheap sandals called alpargatas opened in Brazil. These sandals were used by coffee collectors. Today, it became a fashion icon and turned into a worldwide craze with its new name, Havaianas.

Over the years, the brand has kept surprising the public by proposing trendy and cool flip flops. Though expensive, Havianas became one of the major global sales hit and one of the most recognized brand for flip-flops.

Their latest product is a limited edition doormat with a pair of exclusive Havaianas. It is a pair of Havaianas embedded into a colorful doormat. It simply suggest that you can just pop out from your house, sticking your flip-flops on when you pass by the door.

Natalia Vodianova Retires

I wonder, what's happening to the fashion world these days? Models got pregnant while designers retired.

While everyone was watching Valentino as he took his final bow last week, Natalia Vodianova, the seventh-highest paid supermodel in the world according to Forbes, will be locking up her modeling shoes in the closet for good. The popular Russian supermodel has decided to retire after taking part in Valentino’s final show last week in Paris and after walking on the runway for 10 years. Vodianova is said to be taking Valentino to Moscow for a week and then to Brazil for Carnivale as a celebration of their retirement.

Nothing Beats the Beat of Dinagyang 2008

Last Sunday (January 27), the place where I live, celebrated Dinagyang 2008. Dinagyang is the biggest and most colorful religious and cultural festival in Iloilo City, Philippines. It started some 40 years ago in honor of Señor Santo Niño.

It was considered as the one of the grandest and most spectacular street parade in the country wherein colors and sounds were put together into a dance that reverberates in a multitude of figures and body kinetics. It was a dynamic and religious merry-making activity that symbolizes the devotion of every Ilonggos in making Iloilo "the only one" when it comes to its own story of faith and culture in perfect timing.

Checkout the following photos that reflects the Ilonggos celebration in their most fashionable way...





*Dinagyang was voted as the best Tourism Event for 2007.

Christian Dior Haute Couture 2008

You want something unique and quite weird-looking outfits? Then you should have Christian Dior Haute Couture for 2008. Perhaps it is absolutely not anything anyone could actually wear , but the designs are certainly interesting.

In the Paris Fashion Week 2008, Dior's collection was all about volume, structure, colour and vietnamese-looking head gear. Strapless dresses with fitted bodices and volumous skirts in turquoises, yellows, pinks, purples and maroons can be seen in the runway. Everything matched from the colour coordinated platform shoes and oversized earrings to the eye make-up.

The gowns looked stunning with embroidered gold detailing and volume either in fish-tails, around midriffs or in the entire dress.

According to Yahoo, in fashion, it's always about the next big thing - and the next "it" girl and face. And so, Ford named Seung-Hyun Kang as the new Supermodel of the World after scouting for the world's freshest face last January 16, 2008.

Seung-Hyun Kang won a $250,000 contract with Ford Models. At the age of 20, she is the first Asian model to be the top among 49 representatives of other countries.



The judges noted that her most attractive point is that she has both oriental mask and western figure. Oriental for having a single eyelid and long eyes and western for possessing a tall height and long arms and legs.

Valentino's Goodbye To The Fashion World

Yesterday, January 23, 2008, the fashion world wept as Valentino bade his final goodbye after a phenomenal 45-years in the business at the age of 75.


"He is parting in happiness but the fashion world is in mourning," said front row guest David Furnish who, together with his partner singer Elton John, is one of Valentino's friends.


Valentino’s latest runway collections got amazing reviews: "It's a happy collection. It's not a collection with tears in between.". It's colorful, playful, elegant, chic, and at times simply breathtaking.





Italian designer Valentino's red dress is projected on the wall during his Spring/Summer 2008 Haute Couture collection show in Paris yesterday. Lipstick red, the color that defined Valentino's career, engulfed his final turn as the designer streamed models down the runway in his signature shade, creating a flame-hued tunnel.
