These pieces were only found when me and my mom were digging up bundles of used clothing. I wasn't really sure where did all the clothes come from but I am guessing it might be gifts or clothes that were only worn once.To be honest, I was very hesitant on trying on this skirt. Its not really my cup of tea as per say. I am only 5'1 or a few inches taller and I always try to avoid clothes that would make me appear shorter. Making me avoid folded pants, or maxi dresses and skirts. I prefer showing my knees and legs and wearing heels to elongate my legs. Thank goodness my mother pushed me into trying on new clothes. She always do that because "As a designer or a lover of fashion you must always try new pieces even if you didn't like it at first."
When I wore the skirt, I fell in love with the fabric and the feel of it as I move. The cloth playfully glided on my legs in sheer bliss. It made me feel so free and majestic as if I wasn't even human.The skirt was so appropriate for dancing that is why I pulled in my Jimmy Choos. My mother DIY-ed it by puncturing it and putting ribbons to add a delicate ballerina touch when a friend of ours wanted to borrow it for her wedding. Lastly, I worse this corset like top which was a perfect subdue of embroidery. My friend had to add a cute pastel flower crown to make this look more pretty thanks Ij.
In my head, I always portrayed that the outcomes of the shoot should look as fluid as possible. I didn't want my pictures to look like I was only posing for the camera. I wanted the audience to feel happiness and freedom of being in their own skin so I was actually dancing with no music. It was shame that I didn't think of any more graceful dance steps while the camera was shooting. The people were already crowding when we shoot this so my shame kicked in. But other than that, thank you Gian Pardo for these wonderful pictures. I wouldn't have have it any other way. You portrayed my ideas on these pictures perfectly and I am so glad you help us in these shoot. More power to you.
Here are some random selfies from Ij. From left to right, Me(obviously), magnificent Gian and the lovely Ij. I will be attending a debut the week after this and I will be designing my first dress ever. Wish me luck my Darlings. Other than that
Stay Sweet~
