Kaleidoscope Designer

One of the first designers friends I've made was Louis Claparols, who is currently the president of the Young Designers' Guild.  So, when I got a text about his cake launch, I couldn't say no to one of my "oldest" friends in the industry.

Food and drinks overflowed at the bar of Hyatt Hotel

Instead of the usual round cake, Louis (together with the hotel's chef) came up with these cute boxes filled with layers of strawberry and cheesecake

We were given small servings to try

And it was to die for! Yummy!!!

With just the right amount of sweetness that will keep you wanting for more.

And here are the guests:

Geolette Esguerra in a Louis Claparols creation, who was the host for the night

Celine Gabriel-Lim

Ruby Gan and Corinne Alegre

Jake Ramirez

Dohn Yu who's back in London, and Heidi Ng

Deepa of Manila Bulletin

The Summit ladies: J. Pickrell, Isha Indaya and Rorie Carlos-Manzano

Louis Claparol's Kaleidoscope cake is a must-have.  You really should get your hands on one of these ;P Only available at Hyatt Hotel.

Congratulations, Louis! :D

Independence Day Promo

Last night, Greenbelt 5 hosted an exclusive preview of the retrospective collections of the most prestigious Filipino artists.  Myth was among those who participated in the celebration, and included a special treat to all staunch supporters of local designer wear.  They're giving 10% off on all ready-to-wear (RTW's) from June 11 — June 14.

Mainstay designers include Randy Ortiz, Dennis Lustico, Doltz Pilar, Ivar Aseron, Joey Samson, and Jojie Lloren.  Plus affordable hair and makeup products by Henri Calayag and Jing Monis.

A new batch of designers have joined the prestigious shop.  Welcome Young Designer Guild (YDG) president (and very good friend) Louis Claparols!  I'm loving his latest work (left most in black), which he made for the Metrowear 100 fashion show last May 30.  Congrats, Louis :D
