SIGH STYLES

Here's another feature in Sunstar newspaper on March 14, 2014. I was contributing again for the local newspaper and this time, since it is March, I was tasked to prepare a photo shoot for GRADUATION DAY.  What would be the most appropriate dresses and make-up to wear on this momentous day of the graduates' life (not to mention the proud parents and loved ones)? I am always excited to work on anything about fashion styling.  My brain tends to exhaust what is left after a day's hard work from my day job for the sake of the art and maybe, science, of styling.  So it is during my free time where I have the time to insert my fashion styling imaginations.   The following four photos made it on print. When I was told to prepare "appropriate" dresses for graduation day, the first thing I thought of is the LBD - little black dress.  I know black is mostly worn for night parties, but since it's for graduation ceremonies that you will be attending, ...

Heard of BEAUTIFUL HORIZON ?  It's the newest direct selling company in town and originated from the Queen City of the South - Cebu.  Launched on October 19, 2013, this direct selling company has catered the intelligent buyers of beauty products from color cosmetics, personal care, skin care and facial care.   Beautiful Horizon also offers food supplements, laundry and toilet products.  This DS company also provides new products to the baby and kids market! I organized a photo shoot for Beautiful Horizon , primarily for the Skin Whitening line. The shoot was scheduled on October 15, 2013.   Remember this day? This was one of the days that all Visayans dreaded.  The 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit Bohol and affected the neighboring islands, and Cebu was not an exemption.  Our call time was 7:30 a.m., of course, I was the most punctual since I was the organizer.  And everyone else was late because of the earthquake.  Thank God no o...

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). It emphasized long hair, which most teen a...

I was tasked again by SunStar to do another photo shoot, this time on different hair braid styles .  And definitely I said YES. I had no problem as to who will be my muse as I already had prior talks with one of the daughter's of my mom's friend.  Her name is MARY GRACE and she's really prepared for modeling, with that ideal statuesque, with long sleek hair, pristine white skin, lean yet chic figure and that pretty face. And she's another add-on to Sigh Style's list of break-out talents. I prepared 8 hair braid styles and 3 hair stylists for this shoot. We completed the photo shoot in 4 hours.   Only 5 hair braid styles were featured in SunStar's August 16, 2013 issue in Shopping Bag spread. 1. FULL CROWN BRAID 2. THE SIDE-SWEPT HIPPIE BRAID 3. THE FISHTAIL BRAID 4. SEMI-PUNK BRAID (I just named this) 5th HAIR BRAID STYLE 6. MODERN MILK MAID BRAID 7. CHINESE-INSPIRED BRAID 8. WATERFALL BRAID ...
