Glam Mom
CEBU, Philippines - The merry month of May ushers in quite a handful of reasons to celebrate. In sync with religious fiestas, Flores de Mayo and the Santacruzan is a worldwide celebration in honor of our precious mothers who endured nine months of pregnancy and hard labor to bring life into this world.
Philip Rodriguez picked a perfect season for the launch of his newest mid-summer line – on the second Sunday of May when it’s Mother’s Day. So it was just a perfect pick for California based Filipino model and Mom (mother of three and grandmother of three) Gena Germano Kangleon to don Filippo’s colorific hues. Filippo is the chic ready to wear line of Philip Rodriguez, which figured in an expansionist mood as it opened in SM Northwing after its first boutique in Ayala Center Cebu and there’s more to come, I heard. The newest line has an exclusive touch that marries sexy with just the right touch of sweet, perfect for glam moms out there, and classy young ladies, too.
Diverse fluidity is the foundation of the line, and the latest pieces cut it every which way but constricting. There were ruffled sheaths and fuller styles, pegged skirts and flared ones. On top, panuelo-like structures that attach perfectly with a dress that looks oh so modern. Some were bright stretch jerseys, cut close to the body and worn with flat sandals. An interesting piece was a silk organdy layered over satin A-line dresses in emerald green, purples and magenta. Another piece de resistance with a styling flash was a tube appliquéd black tulle dress with exquisite beading over a turquoise column. Elegant moms and young ladies will surely be making mental notes about their must-haves for our perennial summer.
Bravissimo! ?
