SIGH STYLES

Transferring to a new location have initially distressed me. Everything was unaccustomed and I was back to zero, career-wise. Then,  I was also in direly wanting to activate my Fashion Styling skills. T he artist in me had a compelling fighting spirit. Why be afraid, why hide, why remain dormant?  So, I went online and befriended creative minds alike.  And guess what? Last quarter of this year, I have successfully made my very first fashion styling collaboration with amazing Filipino talents in the field of photography here in Doha, Qatar and finally got acquainted with my online-turn-real-life friends: Eds Dela Cruz and Christine Lyn Espinosa . Part of resettling is the embracing of foreign culture and adapting to their lifestyle which includes dressing up according to their norms.  If you have been following this blog, you might have known by now that my personal style has permanently gravitated to a direction that always had a touch of modesty.  I ...

Beautiful Horizon had just celebrated its momentous first year anniversary on October 19, 2014 and I am glad that Sigh Styles have played a part behind the making of their 2nd edition brochure.

Gone are the days when the "curvy" ladies are hiding in their shells.  Everyone is equally treated now.  The big and small are now sharing the same spotlight. I have been contributing to SUNSTAR newspaper since 2013 and have styled and photographed models that have skinny figures.  Last April of this year, I realized, why not feature a 'curvy' model and explore the fashion of plus sizes. I was overwhelmed to get another nod by Ms. Kara Mae Noveda to do a photo shoot for PLUS SIZE Fashion which was featured in SUNSTAR newspaper - Shopping Bag section on May 23, 2014. The next 5 photos below made it on print. My styling for this Plus Size concept encompasses the idea of the body as a canvass to express one's self through fashion and strut daily that exuding confidence, telling the world, who cares if I'm not skinny. Being chubby or plump or obese is not a hindrance to look good and feel good about oneself.  And in fashion, being overweight is ...

Portfolio-making is one of SighStyles activities to highlight its advocacy of promoting talents of artists from models, photographers, hair and make-up artists, fashion designers, fashion accessory designer, and fashion stylists like me.  If you have been following this blog, I have helped and may have encouraged others to do more for their talents.  I have worked with enthusiasts, who at the same time want to be profound with their field of interest and was also able to collaborate with professionals. I devote this post to these individuals who have inspired me in one way or another to keep rolling, to sustain the drive and to remain motivated to be more better than what is present. I am blessed to be in a circle of co-workers who have similar passion with me - the arts.  Although, we have distinct propensities, but the denominator is still for the love of art.   Meet DANI ALCEDERA Hair and Make-up Artist Her name may sound familiar as she seems to...

The world was created round and filled with bright, lively colors and ephemeral shades and tints. But as they say, like repels like and the opposites attract. The intensity of the contrast is all that really counts.   SighStyles  again, is featured in Sunstar - Shopping Bag section entitled: OPPOSITES ATTRACT, highlighting the eternal black and white color cocktail. I have always been head over heels with black and white , so much so, that I wanted to share my personal favorite to the fashion-savvy audience.  I know for one that with my sporadic contribution in Sunstar will be one great avenue to express my paramount fondness of this B&W palette.  . I have a number of late-night sleeps in pursuing this black and white concept for the local newspaper.  It started in the later months of last year.  While I was browsing over for the fall /winter trends, I was the happiest when Black and White was one of the trends of the seasons.  So the p...
