iACADEMY at The N.E.W. Fashion and Beauty Fair - Rockwell Tent

I've been hearing about iACADEMY for the longest time and I've never even stepped inside their school yet.

The better alternative came to my email a few days ago when we got invited to the iACADEMY gig at The New Fashion and Beauty Fair 2013 in Rockwell Tent Makati.

The Information and Communications Technology Academy offers fashion courses aside from their current BS Animation, BS Computer Science specializing in Software Engineering, BS Information Technology specializing in Web Development, BS Business Administration specializing in Marketing and Advertising, BS Game Development (on which I want to enroll soon maybe) and AB Multimedia Arts and Design.

They don't have graduates on the Fashion Design course yet because this is their first batch, but it looks promising. The event had a part where designers would be able to showcase their clothes and model too. They've got really a full circle approach in this course where you would be able to figure out what particular field you would do good in says Ms. Nicole Aquino, Chairperson of the Fashion Program at iACADEMY Philippines. The goal is to ultimately be one of the noted Fashion Schools in the country. All fashion lovers should be in the lookout for institutions that would hone what they already have innately. Young and fresh.. they've got to follow their passion and look forward to even make their talent shine, a bit more than the usual.

They even got some pieces displayed that afternoon and I like some of them. These are students, so to see intricate work done on some of them were a welcome sight. That's the "promising" thing I mentioned a while ago. Then there was more.

I also saw Ms. Pia Gladys Perey being interviewed by ETC together with some other personalities (I did that on purpose).

I also saw Renan Jay Pacson who makes SUPERGREAT jackets. I wanted one but I'm sure it won't fit me awwww. This guy's really talented and I like the fact that most of his work is "one of a kind" so you won't see other people wearing things of the same design when you get something from him. He's won awards btw, you should look him up. Maybe I will have one custom made in my size LOL.

Someone Said the Philippines is Not Fashion Forward?!

To tell you honestly I don't know the actual question that was asked of her but her statements on this Nina Garcia dinner/video is sooooo NOT RIGHT. How can you be so irresponsible and tell that your fellow Filipinos don't know fashion like you do?! Ughh... as if you know a lot! This has been spreading like wildfire and I get what people have been irritated with. Her concept of fashion is not even close to icons here or elsewhere in the world, she's a kid and yes I think the other bloggers are right when they said she's a little delusional... not a great thing to tell people internationally REALLY. She must be probably drunk from the fame and fortune because it is after all Nina Garcia, but oh boy I agree with other bloggers that her parents probably should teach her manners.

Rant off: If I were her I'd plan to apologize. The fashionistas and real fashion forward wouldn't like what she said. In fact, they'll probably kick her out of their "coming soon" list! If only the fashion gods and goddesses were here... a lightning would struck her the second those words uttered out of her mouth. Yeah, I officially don't like her. This speck of dust in the fashion photography world doesn't like her! In fact, those who understand would surely still want to kick her in the shin and tell her THAT'S NOT RIGHT! I propose not to get her in Philippine Fashion Week this season!

As if everyone is following your Fashion statements in the first place! Hahahaha!

You are officially SOOO LAST SEASON!
