Just sharing some of my favorite photos taken by hubby from the recent Flores de Mayo held at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall last Sunday, May 5, 2013. More than 30 years in tradition, this event is organized by the Congregacion del Santisimo Nombre del Niño Jesus.
This year's theme is dubbed "Colors of Mindanao" in tribute to the Congregacion's founder, Ben Farrales, who hails from the South. Some 30 top Filipino fashion designers participated in the event, most of whom are members of the Fashion Designers Association of the Philippines (FDAP).
One of my favorites (of course in purple) is a gown by Buddy Reyes.
Great colors, and the model's smile just brightens up the ensemble even more. Outfits by Francis Calaquian.
This was my winning bet... if it hadn't been for the exaggeratedly matching outfits of the pair. You would appreciate them better if they walked separately. Great job, nevertheless, Obet Orajay! :)
Refined magnificence, that's how I'd describe couture by Danilo Franco. Amidst bright bright colors, this pair was a refresher. Though outmatched in audience impact, they are (for me) the most elegant pair.
Aside from the escort's head piece, I didn't quite understand how this gown went with the theme. But I just had to commend the model for doing such a great job. What you lacked in color, you made up with the radiance of your smile, Ms. Abbygale Monderin.
