The start of the Philippine Fashion Week Spring/Summer Collection looked very promising as 4 seasoned designers go together to showcase their designs in the show "Pond's Presents Gold". When I saw the names of top notch designers Dennis Lustico, Jun Escario, JC Buendia and Rajo Laurel, all I could say is this is gonna be great. Added to that, models and well known celebs are running the catwalk for them. Stunning models Marina Benipayo, Patty Betita and Rissa Mananquil were just stunning. Familiar faces in TV and print like Tweetie De Leon-Gonzales, Joey Mead, Sarah Meier-Albano, Kelly Misa and Phoemela Baranda also graced the catwalk. Here are my favorites from each designer.

The gold concept was just befitting these designers and models. But after the show, there was something lacking. Or was it just a ploy to let us spectators crave for more? Each designer has only 6 designs to display so the show ended in a blitz. And it is to note that some of the designs lack the glamour we all know from these 4 artists. The start of the PFW was a rather mixed one. It is still good as expected but I know it could have been better.
