Watch DEXTER ALAZAS newest CRUISE Collection this Friday at PLANTATION BAY, 6PM.

Let’s welcome October fetes!

When I said that Ray Kuan sewed earth-friendly into the hems of his menswear collection, I knew that madness will begin to have method.  The Fashion Accessories Manufacturers and Exporters Foundation (FAME) as the leading business support organization for costume jewelry in the

The Philippine costume jewelry industry is largely dependent on such maintenance of our natural resources.

Cebu FAME then launched Bijoux Cebu – a trade-only exhibit open to the public last July 15, 2008 at Casino Español.  An ON THE SPOT Design Competition held in timely fashion at the Marquee, Shangrila Mactan last Sept 20-22 had fashion shows and programs all lined up all for an international or better yet, global exposure.

The photos below show some of BIJOUX CEBU’s collection.

The jewelry and accessories fair was successful with 147 exhibitors! Janet Chua, FAME’s President, spoke of $1.7M earnings as reported by SUNSTAR Cebu and such flourishing feat could mean more of these in 2009.

You would love the newest creation in footwear technology available at RES TOE RUN recently. In all its 80s glory, Res Toe Run launched FIT FLOPS last month with AD MODELS flipping around in these too-stylish- for-gym wear pairs.

  WHY EVERBODY IS WEARING FIT FLOPS:

1.       Fit Flops gives you a workout while youre wearing them. Their unique safely tapered midsole has varying densities to help with the support and balance of your foot and leg muscles. Fit Flops impugn those hard to reach muscles more.

2.       Fit Flops tone and trim your legs and bum. It increases the amount of time that their muscles are activated every single step.

 These pair fit into your 30minute exercise everyday. It’s a fashion forward trend that force your foot forward shifting your weight onto the balls of your feet, yet, the small heel is absent and replaced with a small square — oh, wait. What am I talking about? You’d have to experience it to relate.

 Sold at $35-$45.

Watch Cowrie Cove transform into an Ice Palace slash bar as Ipanema and Smirnoff Vodka bring you WINTER CHILL this Saturday night.

Dazzle in white, Cebu! Mary Ty will also be featuring her collections for the sponsors.  Check out the posters for details.

This coming Friday until Sunday during mall hours, Havaianas will once again set up shop at the lobby of the SM Northwing.

This one of a kind event which has also been held court in Sydney, Paris, New York and Tokyo will have you customizing your favorite flip flops for a limited period and a minimal fee. The straps starts at P700 and the rest of your blings’ prices depends on its design.

See you all there, Cebu!

Hip Young Cebu at PHAT THURSDAY two weekends ago was not a hiphop undulation but a series of fashion upheavals that gave way to Cebu’s newest designers.

Say hi to Mary Ty of Very Mary collections.

Mary started dabbling with designing clothes when she was still in highschool. “I started drawing on any notebook I could get my hands on - and they weren’t even mine!” she said. Mary finally catered to public viewing the time she launched Very Mary collections this year.

We will miss you, VUDU. Encore lasted till the Sunday morning, Sept 7. See you guys soon. Style sighting in progress, Cebu.

Thanks, Paolo Mañalac and Paul Gotiong.

With the advent of haute couture blossoming into Gossip Girl aficionados, we’d rather be wearing the latest oversized headband than be caught dead with last season’s skinnies. Only a true Cebuano could actually sow influence among the few. He will make us go back to our roots and cultivate it. Dexter Alazas brought us back to old style Cebu without even moving any step backward. Before ooh-aahing his newest collection, see Dexter Alazas’ Linea Sugbuana as captured by Joseph Ong.

 “LINEA SUGBUANA is my new line,” explains Dexter. “…very Filpino inspired… tradition with a modern treatment… laser cut techniques… (all) done in a more contemporary way.”

Hello, Cebu! I have to apologize for the last posts because the server sometimes gets crazy and the draft folder has so many pending submissions – crazy to do all of them together.

 Thank you for the past months and let us wish for the best on these upcoming months before welcoming another Sinulog fete next year. People have been very supportive of the site and sometimes it is hard to moderate comments when everyone wants to say something at the same time. For the record, this site may or may not be the authority for Cebu Style nor it claims to be one. The politics of dressing up has always been very liberal, free of inhibitions, open-minded and fun. If you think you could get better lifestyle source elsewhere, by all means, we are not stopping you; but, then again, thank you very much for your continued patronage. For style-worthy news that you wanted to flash, please email info@stylecebu.com and we will definitely get back to you. Direct comments from valid email addresses, too, so that we can correspond and follow up. We don’t charge for placing your press releases here unless you have online ads that you wanted placed on the site itself to be a daily, weekly or monthly banner - then, that is a different thing.

Again, we feature every street, glam and even ghetto style we can catch sight of – definitely not from grandma’s friends, of course. 

Relax, let’s have fun. As Dexter Alazas would say, “Let’s keep Cebu in style.”

Opening the vinyl ropes for September and embracing the –ber­ months is key because fall season happens to elevate from Spring and Summer trends. Watch out, you may be the next Go See in the future.*wink*
