Philippine Fashion Week Day 5 S/S 2013: Burdang Taal, Habing Pilipino

Sem break 2012 was well-spent. 

Aside from quality time and random adventures with my family, our sched permitted me and my mom to watch the Burdang Taal, Habing Pilipino Show during the Philippine Fashion Week. 

Now do not feel a tad of insecurity if this show doesn't ring any bells on your haute couture-programmed eardrums. Burdang Taal, Habing Pilipino for Spring/Summer 2013 was actually the first one in the Philippine Fashion Week history.

Along with the local government of Batangas, Runway Productions' main goal was to awaken the embroidery industry of Taal that was long established during the Spanish era. To promote fashion tourism and to provide more job opportunities for its residents, Burdang Taal was once again given distinction by talented Filipino designers whose creations I will be showcasing in this post.  

Because we got second-row seats parallel to the middle of the runway, most of my photos were taken on sideview. :( I sure hope though that they've given justice to the designers' amaaaazing creations.

And of course, here are some of my favorite photos during the final rundown. 

I enjoyed how the colors popped from model-to-model! It was also a good opportunity to take photos of the collections that I missed during the individual designer presentations.

I just had to take a photo of Fanny Serano. Hihi.

The second head (poking from left) is Renee Salud's. They're seated just right in front of us!

Can you guess whose collections were my favorites? (CLUE: tangerine and cutouts)

My fingers are still crossed for PFW Holiday 2013 this May.

I really WISH I could watch again!

See you there guys if I can. :)

Much love, 

Mela
