Just a photo snapped last year of me wearing a dress by a local (Philippine) indie designer Irene Pineda. She runs an online shop over at Multiply called Irene’s Closet and used to have a shop at the Archeology Wing of the Power Plant Mall located in Rockwell, Makati City. I reckon she know has a shop along Jupiter Street also in Makati City.

I love the tiered ruffled dress with paisley print in pink and purple crossover straps. It actually has the right length. Looks very dainty and feminine. I only wore it once before I handed it over to my sister as a gift. I hope she likes it as much as I do. It’s one of the dresses I like cuz it’s one of a kind, something you can often expect if you’re into the whole indie fashion scene. It almost feel like you own couture!

More info on the outfit can be found over at Style Manila: Emily Ruf Dress

Emily Ruf Dress by Irene Pineda

One of my great indie fashion discoveries is this Daniella De Corsie dress, which I found in a Indie Fashion boutique called F*ART located in the North of Metro Manila. I wore it to an event which took place during Summer (my country) this year (April-ish).

Yes, Daniella is a local indie fashion designer and this particular work of hers IS made of wow.

There was a moment when I had put it on that I had wished to be more fuller, esp around the bust area, to fully maximise the creation. It’s very sensual in its own subtle way. If this dress impressed you, then better hold on to your jaws when you see the rest of her work.

When I stumbled upon this site, I can’t help but remember the requests made by guys who stopped by Style Manila. They were asking where they can find options for t-shirts and such that are unique to our country, Philippine-made.

I’ve already featured some and I hope to find more. To add onto the list is S^CRED Clothesline.

Like the two items seen on the image above, they design tees and hoodies that are inspired by the unofficial national sport, Basketball. On the left is the Jaworksi Tee, on print it says “7AWO LEGEND” cuz Jaworski was dubbed as the “living legend” in the sport. I’d like to explain it further but I’ll leave it to the basketball experts. Heh. And on the right is the DUNKMAN hoodie. The image is quite reminiscent of a Jordan thing, don’t you agree?

The former is priced at Php 249.00 (around $5) and the latter, Php 399.00 (around $8). Reasonable prices, I should say.

They’ve got a few more options on their product page, feel free to have a look.
