The PEDRO Fall/Winter Collection 2013

I've been following this brand for quite some time now. Believe me, I've been looking on their shelves a lot and only manage to purchase one pair which I've been able to keep on my closet for a long time. I treasure it a lot; and I've been so blessed lately that I got to cover their Fall-Winter show last week. I've been drooling on the pieces they showed on the runway since then. I have got to get this out and tell you more about the brand PEDRO. They've got one of the most sophisticated lines of Men's and Women's Footwear plus an undoubtedly world class collection of Accessories. This season, they've got it all out in the open and gave Tim Gunn a new meaning on how to "Make it Work!"

There were celebrities of course like famed DJ Mia Ayesa, Male Supermodels and Benchsetters Vince Ferraren and Anthony Semerad, the one and only Ms. Kuh Ledesma and Ms. Daphne Osena-Paez whom I wasn't able to get a photo T_T. Suyen Corporation Executives were there too. Then they started the show!



Of course they had to show the Fall/Winter collection. I'm seeing stripes, relaxed cardigans, coats and oh so awesome shoes! Can I have all of these in size 12? =)

You can me smart casual, suited up, or wearing shorts, just as long as you have PEDRO in your wardrobe and shoes, you can't go wrong!

Cool and comfy coats, sweaters, crisp white shirt won't look bad with classic boat shoes that PEDRO has. It's fun, easy to wear and quite a lot of fun. Nothing fancy, but really stayed classy.

A combo of jeans, cardigan and jackets don't matter too as long as you have suede or faux leather shoes in different colors to match.

Don't be afraid of earth tones because it will only make your assets pop. If you are fair it will be even way better since it'll be cooler to the eyes. Don't be afraid to wear something urban, something of color and texture too!

Then it was time for the gorgeous ladies!

This time they went for intense colors, clean lines and shoes of different heights. Key pieces here are the skirt, the dress and the small clutch. It's way pretty!

Form fitting but still clean lines. I love what the model on the left is wearing. She's Elite Manila's Luane Pasinatto. Pretty no? It reminds me of ladies partying on a yacht; or something to that effect.

Key pieces: The blazer and this awesome print on the pants. It's urban yet they mix and match patters and fabrics. That looks awesome in my books!

I like the fancy shoes! =) Real men wear Fuchsia Pink laces! LOL This is so much fun!

Just by looking at it, they are executing their theme for this season. It's what they call URBAN MODERNISM. We've got layers, textures and colors but mostly on the earth tones. Even if they are structured they still have different fabrics in them so the feel is totally unconventional.

For those who crave for sophisticated independence and want to still exude the feminine silhouette, you can suit up with PEDRO and play along with their blue, green, red and black palettes. Their edgy stilletto pumps that are intricately accessorized and embelished with metals, stones, fabric can ultimately spell your look for this coming season. Bags, clutches that would look so perfect with your outfit are also gonna be out soon.

Men on the other hand need not despair. The versatility and character of the classic browns, maroons, deep blue, cool greys, purple, green and orange hues would be your muse if you want to find balance, sleekness and cleaner lines which is a must this holiday season. Enjoy PEDRO's quality stitching on all their classy footwear and a throng of stylish briefcases studded in metal hardware that puts you on top in the style department. The brand managed to pull it off in this Fall-Winter collection and I've never been so proud I got to witness that first hand on this show. Now it's your turn to impress, so be a nice chap and visit PEDRO stores near you! After all, you deserve to be the man and woman who embodies urban modernism at its finest!

GMA's Sunday Afternoon Game Changer: DORMITORYO

We had the chance to meet the cast of DORMITORYO yesterday and boy it was awesome! I don't want to say something fake and tell you I know all of them but I am so glad of the efforts of GMA Artist Center because they're bringing out their best talents and letting them engage people like us in Social Media. That afternoon was light and the cast had all smiles with them because they'll be starring in this suspense-horror-romance filled program which will air right after Sunday All Stars. It's a huge task for them to take but they are quite confident that they will be able to keep regular viewers glued to their seat because this project is so different, and never have been done in Philippine TV in the afternoon slot.

Nevertheless we had so much fun listening to their own ghost stories as they probably had one like the rest of us. Even their tapings were infested with mysterious things that they were also creeped out about. Their Director Jun Lana is one of the best in the industry and they have been able to work with him already for quite some time now. They've got nothing but good things to say to him and how he manages the project in its entirety. They also in turn learn a lot with Direk Jun because he is so meticulous, that he even gives time to tell the story and the graphics that will go with it. They too are not given the whole script yet so they would be staying on top of their toes every week, they in turn will feel what the audience will be seeing as it shows this coming weekend.

Here's an excerpt of the part of the conference when I asked them "Will you feel bad if you were killed early in the story? If you were going to die on the project, how would you want to do it?"

Congratulations to Lauren Young, Joyce Ching, Enzo Pineda, Ruru Madrid, Annicka Dolonius and Asleigh Nordstrom. I'm sure this will be a hit. Just hold on to your horses and make each part of the story interesting, I'm sure you'll stay on air for a long time if this becomes a phenomenon in GMA's afternoon block.

Thank you also to their sponsors ASYA Filipino-Asian Restaurant (Centris Edsa) and JELLYBEAN for the great stuff they provided for us that afternoon.

Thank you also to my preferred headset, earplugs and earphone maker URBANEARS! Ooh I LOVE THIS! They are available in all leading accessory and gadget stores, and major malls nationwide!

Thank you also to GMA Artist Center who continue to let us talk to their artists before their shows come out. I wish DORMITORYO fulfills their goal of bringing something different to Filipino viewers here and around the world!
