A-LIST: BLINDxx Creations SS13 (Official Lookbook)

If you read my last post, I'm sure you had this coming. Last week had been a very exciting week for us at local, online indie brand, Blind Clothing. We have just released our cut-and-sew line's spring-summer collection entitled: The A-List.  Hurray!! :)

The whole time we were developing this collection, we had the sophisticated, sexy, smart, confident, woman  in mind.  We were so happy that in the shooting of our look book---our model portrayed this so well. She really looked (and acted?) the part; a huge transformation from when we last shot her for in our A|W 2013 collection. Our HMUA and photographers also did an equally great job in bringing out out that "slightly spoiled young aristocrat" vibe (whilst making sure the clothes shine through) throughout the look book in consistent great quality. I'm always amazed at how a team of left-brained people can come in unison and create something beautiful and cohesive.  It's overwhelming (humbling even) being able to collaborate again with such talents, who, with their excellence in each of their fields, are able to bend a little and be good team players to meet your vision/ direction  :) 


Ladies and gents, may our team present to you,
Blind Creations S|S 2013:
The A-List.

We know that the whole fashion world is celebrating summer like it is in the other side of the world, while it's starting to rain here in the Philippines. So we at BLINDxx tried to bring you the best of both worlds. I mean honestly, who's over midriff tops? :)) So we give you fitted midriff tops in sets that come in thick, textured material. We made  semi- silky slip dresses and slit skirts so you have the perfect inner wear to match your bombers and blazers with, or pair  your sweaters with, and still look sexy.  These are pieces that are friendly but luxurious enough to take you from day to night-- from shopping with the girls to a big dinner party-- something you can wear out on a hot day, or layer with on a cold day (atleast in the tropics). 

This is a collection mainly pegged on chic luxe. With the influx of mass produced clothes coming into the market, this collection craves for:  good clothing structure and construction, and the subtle sexiness and elegance that understated but flattering shape and proportion gives the female body. It is a celebration of good print palettes, rich textures, and  sophisticated cuts.  

Good news is, we are now open for orders.

Shop our latest collection here. Enjoy! :)

A-LIST: Blind Clothing SS|13

I remember when I landed back in Cebu from all the board exams shiz last March, the first thing I was so hasty to work on was Blind Clothing's next cut-and-sew collection. Ninz and I dug through our idea jar for inspirations, searched for fabric, and started working on prototypes and trying to get them right. I am not a fashion designer by profession but I don't recall being as obsessive compulsive in our pieces as much as I have now. I guess all the working with the furniture factory taught me the value of construction detail, putting dimensions in everything, keeping a keen eye on the every cut, and basically making it easy for the tailor to get it right. Fast forward to 4 months after, our 13-piece collection is finally complete. Hurray! :)

Our incoming collection is basically pegged on chic luxe. With the influx of clothes coming into the market like curry in hong kong, and kwek-kwek in the Philippines, we found ourselves looking for good clothing structure, good shape and proportion, good color palettes, and of course texture texture texture! 

A good team of super talented artists were so kind as to collaborate with us in helping us come up with our look book just for you: Dexter and Shanida Maneja (photographers) , James Canete (hair and make-up), and Christine Morrill (model)... also the very warm and fun Chillage team were so accommodating as to let us shoot in their very chic home exuding with all sorts of good vibe and positive energy it almost makes you high!

So please please please...  come join as we launch "THE A-LIST" tomorrow, August 14 (Wednesday) at 8 on our facebook page!  Let me leave you with our teaser video! See you all! x
