Sigh Styles Turns Two! + Sigh Styles Concept for Sunstar - 2014 Color of the Year: Radiant Orchid

Time glided fast, and now Sigh Styles is already TWO!
My latest contribution to Sunstar newspaper came out perfectly in time for my 2nd year celebration.

If you can remember my very first contribution to Sunstar, which came out on April 2013, it was about 2013's Color of Year < EMERALD >.

On January of this year, I volunteered to Ms. Kara Mae Noveda to do a feature on 2014's Color of the Year < RADIANT ORCHID >.  The shoot did came out late as I was searching for the impeccable collaborators.

On June 2, 2014, the 'radiant orchid' photo shoot I collaborated with Divine Orlina Tayrus and Christine Cueto was featured in Shopping Bag section of Sunstar newspaper entitled HEY JUNE!

The next 5 photos made it on print.





RADIANT ORCHID
It is a captivating harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones. 
The color emanates great love, joy and health.  Such a wonderful color isnt' it?
I have no second thoughts in inviting Divine to do the make-up and model for the Radiant Orchid feature.  I knew she is the most befitting muse for this shoot.  On Sigh Styles first year feature in this blog, Divine was the model and make-up artist too, see HERE.

When I conceptualized for this photo shoot, what was in my head is the idea of wearing Radiant Orchid all year-round.  So my preparation revolved on outfits for the four seasons of the year.

 purple longsleeve knit dress studded with faux diamonds + white boots & white beanie embellished with holographic sequins (not seen in pic)

Sigh Styles for SunStar's Concept: Grunge Throwback

I was tasked again to do a photo shoot for Sunstar newspaper fashion spread on GRUNGE Fashion.  It was officially published on October 18, 2013. The next 5 pictures made it on print. 'The most important event in 1990s fashion was the rise of Grunge fashion in 1992. Grunge fashion was influenced by grunge music, which achieved mainstream popularity in 1992, due to the mainstream success of Nirvana and their hit single Smells Like Teen Spirit. The grunge style resulted in a decline in bright colours, and was dominated by plaid flannel shirts, stonewashed blue jeans, and dark colours like maroon, forest green, indigo, and brown. White and black were also popular colours in grunge style. It was considered the most depressing, angst filled style.  via wikipedia Grunge fashion popularized Doc Martens style shoes and boots, and high-top sneakers in red, indigo, forest green, and black (such as Chuck Taylor All-Stars).
