Play this first for some mood music!
To tell you honestly, I've heard this played a lot of times when I was a kid. It was my first connection to Brazil, the first thing I've even heard of the place called IPANEMA. To me it was a place where Bossa Nova was common... the beaches and the women were all grand... life was easy along the Brazilian shore! These days, it's not just easy music. It's a brand of Flip flops that everyone absolutely adores. Best of all, they've collaborated with top designers from Philippine Fashion Week Spring - Summer 2012 collection and this time it's a celebration of those neat things I've heard of about IPANEMA and MORE!
With Summer just around the corner they've brought out the guns and buns to shock and awe everyone in Philippine Fashion Week. Just like Gisele Bundchen these foot candy ain't joking when they said that it's luxurious to wear and carry around. How can you not love these?!

Now if that ain't enough for you imagine this being worn in a Summer Wear collection by models in Philippine Fashion Week and you'll surely love this!
Brand Ambassador Daniel Matsunaga was there to greet IPANEMA lovers!
Isn't he just perfect?!
Men wore something reminiscent of Cuban outfits but more on the form fitting style!
They never were afraid of COLORS!
Nor the prints!

Or something formal... Cuban I say! Still looking good in Flip Flops from IPANEMA!
Easy and breezy, colors or prints you can match the perfect little pair if you want to!
You can be hunky and still stay as smart with them all the way!
Dave Ocampo executes this beautifully with colors and prints; quite perfect for the season!
Raoul Ramirez opens up with this almost naked lad. Now that was surprising! I saw some ladies covering their eyes LOL

I love the colors! IPANEMA definitely did something right with the lineup of designers they had for this summer wear line. This one did a psychedelic - 60's vibe. I remember Mike Myers and his movies while seeing this bit. I really like the boxers-trunks they wore.

A continuation of the psychedelic thingy. I love it! Maybe if DARNA were to wear something totally different from her current costume this would be great. The designer definitely had good ideas!

I love the structure of the top and bottom on the left. The dress is definitely a stunner! The coat and slacks is another moment in style. I would love that for myself!

Now this is one thing that women would adore! Reds and yellows, its all good!
Make it blue and a neckline like that? I know some friends who would die to have this!
Turquoise and blue greenish colors, its a revolution waiting to happen this season!
Greens and blues, its so cool in the eyes. These designers definitely know their strengths.
Mr. Raoul Ramirez, I am officially now a fan of your work. You have real attention to detail and I love how you courageously used colors and kept it sexy.
I saw a green one like this, and liked it too!
IPANEMA you have definitely outdone yourselves! The dresses were way too hot to handle, the flip flops definitely stood out when they walked out the runway. Gisele Bundchen would've loved to go to this event if she weren't too busy! I'm loving IPANEMA now... I wouldn't be surprised if the general populace wouldn't do the same.
Congratulations on your successful tie up with these fantastic designers. The names Anthony Nocom, Dave Ocampo, Lyle Ibanez, Raoul Ramirez and Catherine Cavilte have definitely made your brand proud of what it is today. Congratulations on a very successful show!
