Pilipino Couture

On the lookout for some fresh Asian meat.

Finally they have a Filipino fashion blog: Manila Style. Now i can look at hot pee-noys and see my peeps in couture.

Hot pee-noy #1

Hot pee-noy #2

Hot pee-noy #3

They don't look at all bakla.

And these guys don't look like posers. At all.

Yo, apl.d.ap! Kumusta ka!

More studs.

What is it with dudes from the Philippines and backpacks?

This guy has potential though.

Who needs clothes when you a tattoo this cool?

her shirt is the menu at sinugba:

Only a Filipino would name their child Peewee:

The epitome of western colonization of the Philippines: man wears army coat over traditional barong.

Easily one of my favorite designers: Mich Dulce

Spotlight Designer: Jovovich-Hawk

I'm like, totally in love with Jovovich Hawk. I saw them in Lucky magazine and was intrigued by their inspirations. That, and Milla isn't known for her acting, but who knows? Maybe her clothes might be cool. Luckily, the clothing line hasn't disappointed. It's almost like an upscale, less young-looking, Free People.

Folk Tales

I'll always love the bohemian/hippie/folksie look.

Birds of a Feather...Flock to the Mall

Cathy Waterman, by far my favorite jewelery.

All those nature-inspired pieces. Love it!

This is the coolest idea ever!

How does one go about getting this Mara Hoffman sandal???

Did I mention that I love feathers? Anything earthy.

Something else to distract me from my work...

...a flying lightbulb from Ingo Maurer.

A much more subtle dress than the one Jennifer Lopez wore.

Check out the Grecian straps!

I'm actually diggin' on the entire photograph itself.

Like something out of a Dr. Seuss book.

I coulda used this a couple days ago!

On the other hand, I love looking like the '30's!

Yee! This is the best thing ever! It matches the clutch (see above)!

Ah, the perfect accessry for a Halloween costume.

I love peacoks! And these earrings look totally elegant

with a hint of Asian allure.

Boots are totally fab. Especially ones that with animal skin print.

Long live snakes and birds!

More Asian bird jewelry.

Looks like something my fiance's mom would wear.

The piece de resistance! I love animals on shirts!

This one takes the cake.

KI-KI-Kimono

Speaking of Asian exocitism, I usually despise anything of the sort, but whenit comes to fashion, I can swallow it when designers only use traditional Asian attire as inspiration and not the actual garments themselves as fashion statements.

For example, the Asian detailing on this dress is reduced simply to the floral graphic on the side.

And on this A.F. Vandervorst dress, I can barely see the kimono sleeves.

I see a resemblance of a doji belt in this one. My only gripe is that the neckline is hella deep. Would make a cool trench, though.

Ok, now see, this is waaaaay too Asian for me to swallow. It's overkill. Plus, who would wear that?!

I just put this one up because the model looks like a dude. Actually, to be more specific, the model looks like a linebacker, although I do love Comme des Garcons.

Don't see the Japanese in this outfit at all. I am intrigued by the exaggerated lapels, though.

Love the pattern!

Getting close to being too Asian, but the colors kind of distract from that. This outfit looks totally fun!
