Lifestyle Asia, June 2011

I was in the US when the June issue came out so when I got back, I had to get my copy of Lifestyle Asia, June issue.

I was so delighted to see a few pages that put a smile on my face!

Here's Ms. Lily O'Boyle wearing Jul B. Dizon Jewellery.

Dennis Lustico and I were discussing lengthily that this magazine has become an outstanding glossy that provides lots of useful luxurious information.

I was so happy to see a wonderful write up about GREEN COUTURE!

And a page where Lucille is on about her being part of a short fashion film of Philippine Star.

To the awesome people behind Lifestyle Asia, THANK YOU for keeping us fashionably updated.

Dear Karen,

We have never met but I am glad that there are Filipino talents who, even if abroad, have a sense of supporting projects locally. It is good to know that you are also environmentally conscious and making 3 gowns for GREEN COUTURE is very much appreciated by EARTH and Manila Waldorf School.

I must tell you that I have come across 3 people who want to purchase your patches dress. Please let me know if you plan to sell it.

Thank you and hope to meet you soon.

Dear Patrice,

It was unfortunate that you weren't able to attend the show. We all missed you.

Your piece got sold a few minutes after the audience saw it. It really is a nice creation and I just want to thank you, on behalf, of the Waldorf School and the grade 8 parents and students for agreeing to be part of Green Couture.

Hope to see you soon.

Yours,

Candy

The MATERIALS: Plastic bottle caps,

Plastic drinking straws, woven rug.

The CREATION!

The DESIGNER: MICHI CALICA-SOTTO.

Dear Michi,

I know how swamped you are with work. Aside from designing clothes, you also have a flower shop and the fact that you took time out to reach out to helping Manila Waldorf is beyond me. But I am very grateful and I am sure the whole school thanks you as well for your kind gesture of support.

Truly yours,

Candy

Puey Quinones for Green Couture.

The Materials: NEWSPAPERS, BUBBLE WRAP, PAPER CUPS!

The Creations!

The Frutti Froyo piece just blew me away!! It's just amazing how you can think of make something this fun and conversational out of paper cups! You surely made one of our sponsors happy about this piece.

This paper gown just shows how old paper can turn into something

"NEWSPAPER" worthy!

Front page at that!

This skirt reminds me of one of my very first Puey Quinones pieces. Love it!

The Designer: In fairness, Puey Quinones!

Dear Puey,

You might have been thru a lot of obstacles lately but I just want to say that I am still in awe of your talent to create. A lot of people asked me why I included you in the line up but I am grateful that despite what you went thru, you still decided to help by donating 4 spectacular pieces to help raise funds for Manila Waldorf School.

With proper guidance, I know that you will make it to the top once again.

With love,

Candy

Ivarluski Aseron for Green Couture.

The Materials: GARBAGE BAGS AND TIN BOTTLE CAPS.

The Creation: It's to DIE for!!!!! I feel closest to this piece because it reminds me of gold which we use all the time in our jewelry. It's so shiny and...GOLD!!!

Let me explain that these caps were flattened and painted gold. It looks like something you would find inside a treasure chest buried for thousands of years by pirates! LOVE LOVE LOVE.

The Designer: None other than IVARLUSKI ASERON.

Dear Ivar,

I love everything about you. Your sense of humor, your creativity, your sweetness and most especially the way how you and I understand that being GREEN (meaning bastos) is a very important aspect in life.

Your gown made me speechless. You should try your hand in jewellery making because I think you would be great at it too.

You will always find a friend in me. A good one at that. Never forget it.

Thank you very much.

Your sister,

Candy

The Material: RICE SACKS!

The AWESOME Creation!

Rice sacks shredded into a million strips!

The Designer: The Talented Tippi Ocampo!

Dearest Tippi,

You know that I have always been fond of you. I think you are the sweetest girl ever! I remember bonding with you in this magazine launch somewhere in the South. You are a beautiful person inside and out. Maybe that's why we get along. HAHAHA. Seriously, thank you for taking time out to make this dress that everyone is still talking about.

I hope to work with you again soon.

Love always,

Candy
