Y2's real-life Parisian fashion moments
Maureen was inspired by Gossip Girl, Vogue and Inglourious Basterds
It took me quite a while to choose the winners because there were so many cute entries, but after much deliberation, Y2 Villanueva and Maureen Belmonte are going home with P5,000 worth of gift certificates from Promod. Y2 sent in photos of her favorite Parisian fashion moments—right beside her wearing outfits inspired by them when she went to Paris! I love how knowledgeable she is about Parisian culture. But I have to admit my favorite moment of the three ones she presented was the bit with Barbie, because I’m (obviously) addicted to all things pink.
“I absolutely loved the Barbie 50th runway show showcasing 50 of the most popular fashion designers from all over the world as they interpreted Barbie’s transformation in her 50 years of plastic existence. One of the most striking outfits, the American flag dress (obviously in reference to 2009′s new American first lady), was made by French designer Catherine Malandrino! And those shoes! The Barbie pink (yes, the Pantone color really is named that) platforms were made by none other than Christian Louboutin, who also hails from France. Just as Barbie is timeless and fashionable, so is French fashion and the designers who keep it alive and thriving.”
I love Barbie!
Maureen, on the other hand, talked about her love for old-school glamour as shown in Inglourious Basterds. She particularly loved the cage veil headpiece worn by Emanuelle Mimeux in the scene before the kill:
Elegant, simple--but dramatic
