A fairy tale come true
December 23, 2005 | 12:00am
Cinderella recently launched Createure a la Mode, a project with Marielle Santos which features exclusive collections from some of the fashion industry’s hottest names: Kate Torralba has her KT Feeling Cinderella line, Tippi Ocampo has Pret-a-Party, Reian Mata has Graxie, LZ Punzalan’s has Blu and Irene Pineda has Waltzing Maria.
Cinderella recently gave its 3,500-square-meter branch at SM Megamall a new look with the help of Design Phase, an international Singapore-based group, as part of the store’s commitment to keep up with the fast-paced world of retail in Manila. The previously predominantly white store is now decked out with stylish murals by illustrator Rina Albert. At the Winter Chill-themed event, they also launched the Esprit Privilege Card along with a fashion show from the holiday collection of Esprit.
Irene Pineda
Which fashion accessories do you invest in?
I invest more on necklaces and bags. They’re nice conversation pieces.
Krista Ranillo
What was the longest time you spent shopping?
The whole day! I love shopping and I’m such an impulsive buyer so I always end up buying so many different pieces, which I don’t really get to use often.
Leo Po
When do you tell yourself it’s time for restyling?
During any major change in my life – new relationship, new job, and new season!
Tippi Ocampo
What is the craziest thing you’ve done for fashion?
Turning my sabbatical "fling" with fashion into a full-blown love affair!
Richie Santos
Who do you share your best fashion finds with?
My girlfriend Sid and my sister Marielle. They both appreciate my finds because they lived in the fashion capitals of Europe, Milan and Paris.
Isha Andaya
Which fashion accessory defines a person?
Do shoes count? Shoes say a lot about a person: a laid-back gal might wear sandals/flip-flops, someone feminine might like colorful pumps and frou-frou flays, while a sophisticated type would opt for pointed mules and sleek boots.
Amina Aranaz
How did fashion shape your personality?
Being in the fashion industry, I get to explore and have fun! It gives me license to be kikay!
Reian Mata
Where did you buy your best fashion find?
Of course, I wear my creations – clothes from Rhapsody, Graxie and Reian Mata to name a few.
CHesca Litton
Who is your ultimate fashion icon?
Cameron Diaz. She makes use of classic pieces and imaginatively puts them together to create a fun, flirty and sexy ensemble.
Chris Yam
Who checks on your wardrobe?
My mom. She is my best and worst critic. But most of all she knows me best.
Sara Black
Who would you like to shop with during store sales?
With my good friend stylist Isha Andaya. She’s great at picking out stuff for me and I hardly have to lift a finger.
Luis Espiritu
When do you dress up?
The best time to express a fashion statement is when you’re at your simplest because if you are fashionable, it should be au naturelle.
Erica Paredes
What do you do with your old clothes?
I find other ways to wear and make them feel new again. Sometimes I trade with friends so we feel like we have "new" clothes without spending. Sometimes I give them away.
