Critique on Pamela Manalo's Gowns

2009-08-03T04:07:00.000-07:00

Pamela Manalo, the country's delegate to the 2009 Miss Universe pageant is set to wear the following designs by Colombian designer, Alfredo Barranza.

In my honest opinion, Philippine designers can do better. It would be best to look at Imelda Marcos' archive of ternos. That's classic and authentic Filipiniana style.

Regarding the evening gown, since we cannot do anything about it, I guess here are my tips on how to carry the gown:

All she needs to do is twirl like Taliana Vargas and spin like Dayana Mendoza so that her sheer gown will "float on air". Also, she should wear a sexier panty, it will complement the sheer lower part of the gown and it will work like a champ :)

In the spirit of recycling gowns, I wish she could re-use Karla Bautista's gown instead:

If we don't want Maestro Barranza's design, might as well do something about it.

Next time, I suggest that we get our pageant representative's measurements and submit our own designs. Each designer must be able to make sure that the design is relevant and up-to-date. Let's show it to the organizers or to the candidates and let them choose.

I really wished she wore a michael cinco design...

Romantic: Sassa dela Mar

2009-07-13T23:09:00.000-07:00

Sassa is a Program Manager for a WNS account. I love her simple yet sophiticated style. She opted for a black spaghetti strap undershirt with lace trimmings, pencil cut skirt and a belt. She completed the look with a powder pink lace blazer for achieve a polished look.

You gotta love those shoes, which are from Charles and Keith.
