Randy Ortiz designs for Kashieca

-

MANILA, Philippines - Inspired by the 1940s Parisian fashion house of Madame Gres, Randy Ortiz welcomes the holiday season with a fluid collection of dresses and separates for local luxe brand, Kashieca, which will be launched tomorrow, Oct. 2 at the Greenbelt 5 second floor Activity Center.

“I decided to channel Madame Gres, initially because of my fascination with how she used silk jersey as the major fabric for her designs. Soft draping is one technique that you’ll find common in the collection.”

To make it his own, Randy reinterpreted classic silhouettes into easy, ready-to-wear pieces which vary from one- shoulder Grecian-inspired tops and dresses, blousons, tunics, slip dresses and wraps in different variations.

“I made sure that the garments are easy to wear, comfortable but unique in manner. Wearability was a major consideration, and I made sure

The master, Randy Ortiz, and the muse, Lucy Torres-Gomez.

that women of all shapes and sizes can wear and appreciate them without sacrificing the aesthetics of the collection.”

Making use of a palette of autumnal colors like rich brown, as well as a lot of red hues, jewel tones, and silver gray, the collection is perfect for any Christmas soiree. Walk into a party wearing a one-shouldered frock in plum, or exit with coquettish flair in a drop-back dress in lipstick red. 

Instantly, one gets a sense of effortless grace and sophistication. Such is the effortlessly classy vibe of the line’s endorser, Lucy Torres-Gomez, who makes an appearance in the line’s campaign images. “What I have in mind are active women whose lifestyles are always on the go… Women who love understated glamour and casual street couture.”

According to Randy, these include the likes of Victoria Beckham, Paris Hilton, Kate Moss, Katie Holmes, Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman and Angelina Jolie, all of whom maintain an air of subtle glamour even while carrying out their everyday lives.

“That’s why the collection is transitional, in the sense that they wear them from day to night, by perking them up with the right accessories.“
