Artsy prints and sheer fabrics in Philippine Fashion Week round-up, part 2

Here once again are some of the overarching trends from Philippine Fashion Week – this time with dramatic folds and fabrics with painterly touches. Part 1 here. 

 

Origami

 

Folded and pressed into graphic shapes, these looks showcased the designers' skill and artistic flair.

 

Real Wear Tip: To avoid looking like you’re sporting banderitas, try achieving these origami-inspired accents in the same color or color family as the dress it is on.

 

Digi-paint

Elaborate prints painted or dyed on fabrics gave these looks a splash of interesting color and design.

 

Real Wear Tip: When wearing very artsy, painterly prints, make sure to wear them with nude shoes to let the design shine more.

 

Sheer brilliance

 

A little daring but not too revealing, sheer fabrics are the ticket to showing a little bit of skin without baring it all.

 

Real Wear Tip: Match your undergarment with the shade of the sheer fabric. When you’re wearing this textile, don’t expect to hide anything.

 

Frill seeker

 

Feathers or fringe, these accents are one interpretation of how this season tackles volume.

 

Real Wear Tip: Details like this need to come in small doses or they run the risk of being too much. Try a frilly top with shorts or a miniskirt.

 

All access-ory

Crowns, fascinators, gloves and geisha-like sky-high heels are a quirky addition to the season’s most delectable must-haves.
