THE 2012 CFDA FASHION AWARDS
Lo & behold, it's the Oscars of the fashion world! JUMP! From young designers to old legends to emerging talents, to famous celebrities and to the muses of the designers gathered all fashionably together at the Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall in New York on Monday, June 4, for the The Council of Fashion Designers of America, Inc. (CFDA) Fashion Awards.
A huge round of applause for our fabulous designers who took home awards from the CFDA’s 50th annual ceremony!
 |
| WOMENSWEAR DESIGNER OF THE YEAR: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen for The Row |
The twins beat out Marc Jacobs who already won three Womenswear awards, three Accessory awards, and one Menswear award in the display case at his Soho offices and the Proenza Schouler boys for Womenswear Designer of the Year, and it's their first CFDA prize. "I'd like to thank you," and "I'd like to thank you," the twin sisters said to each other on stage.
 |
| MENSWEAR DESIGNER OF THE YEAR: Billy Reid |
The Alabama-based designer picked up the CFDA's Swarovski Award in 2001, when his line was known as William Reid. After a hiatus and a relaunch as the more down-home Billy, he's got the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund prize in his pocket and is gunning for the marquee menswear trophy. Reid triumph over Patrick Ervell , a three-time nominee for the CFDA's up-and-comers Swarovski Award and the British-born, New York-based designer, Simon Spurr, for the Menswear Designer of the Year.
 |
| ACCESSORY DESIGNER OF THE YEAR: Reed Krakoff |
Having won two Accessory prizes while masterminding the reversal of Coach's fortunes, Krakoff is attempting to repeat history with a first-time award for the signature collection he launched two years ago. Reed routed out Alexander Wang who done it in back-to-back years and Jack McCollough & Lazaro Hernandez for Proenza Schouler for the Accessory Designer of the Year.
 |
| SWAROVSKI AWARD FOR WOMENSWEAR: Joseph Altuzarra |
Altuzarra is the last year's CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner and now, beat out Chris Peters & Shane Gabier for Creatures of the Wind, the Chicago-based duo who won the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund runner-up prize and $100,000 last fall and Erin Beatty & Max Osterweis for Suno for Swarovski Award for Womenswear.
 |
| SWAROVSKI AWARD FOR MENSWEAR: Phillip Lim |
Having won a Swarovski Award for Womenswear back in 2007, Lim conquered out Antonio Azzuolo, a veteran of Hermès and Ralph Lauren and Todd Snyder, the all-American designer cut his teeth at J.Crew, making good design affordable for Swarovski Award for Menswear.
 |
| SWAROVSKI AWARD FOR ACCESSORY DESIGN: Tabitha Simmons |
This British-born model-turned-stylist-turned-designer was recently honored as the British Fashion Awards' Emerging Talent in Accessories, Tabitha Simmons mastered out Pamela Love who won a runner-up prize from the CFDA/VogueFashion Fund under her belt and a recent wedding (this New York jewelry designer is on a roll) and Irene Neuwirth, a California girl and first-time CFDA nominee.
 |
| GEOFFREY BEENE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD: Tommy Hilfiger |
Over his nearly 30-year career, this CFDA Award winner has earned himself a spot in the pantheon of American fashion, dressing everyone from Connecticut country clubbers to hip-hop stars. Hilfiger said proudly but humbly, “This is a wonderful moment in my life, but I have so much more to do—stay tuned!"
 |
| MEDIA AWARD: Scott Schuman and Garance Doré |
Two top street-style bloggers meet cute, fall in love, and conquer the Web together—forever altering the way fashion trends are covered and created.
 |
| INTERNATIONAL AWARD: Rei Kawakubo for Comme des Garçons |
The woman behind Comme des Garçons has made a deep impact on the industry with her cerebral designs, never more so than with her audacious exercise in two-dimensional clothes for Fall.
John Waters, who wittily and incisively accepted awards on behalf of Johnny Depp and Rei Kawakubo, “She couldn’t be here tonight because, I imagine, she is locked in a self-imposed deconstructed cell, like the St. Teresa of fashion, massacring hemlines for next season’s nondimensional outfits that will be mocked, brilliantly reviewed and worn by the brave,” Waters said. “In fact, some of the more fashion-impaired public actually feels sorry for us. Rei Kawakubo gives us undercover glamour. We know how great her clothes look, but others just think we’re poor.”
 |
| FASHION ICON AWARD: Johnny Depp |
The leading man lauded for his acting chops and raffish good looks is now being honored for his eccentric personal style.
The director went backstage, quickly changed, and then returned to accept on behalf of Depp, reading from a note the actor had sent him, “You’re the only person to have me parading down the streets in pearls, drinking in the gutter with Ms. Patricia Hearst and hiding out in gay bars. I’d do it all over again, with pleasure,’” Waters read before adding, “If those aren’t words of a style icon, I don’t know what is.”
 |
| FOUNDERS AWARD: Andrew Rosen |
Born into the garment industry, Rosen founded Theory and has since brought Helmut Lang, Rag & Bone, and Proenza Schouler into his stable of successful downtown-cool brands. His mini-empire has earned him the accolade, New York's answer to LVMH.
The CFDA President and fashion maven Diane von Furstenberg said, “This year’s awards were particularly special. We honoured the best talent working in American fashion today and celebrated CFDA’s 50th Anniversary.”
If the 2012 nominees were a familiar bunch, at least the evening's winners weren't all the usual suspects. BRAVO and CHEERS TO CELEBRATE ANOTHER YEAR OF DESIGN, ACHIEVEMENT, AND AN EVER-EVOLVING INDUSTRY!
THIS IS THE REASON WHY, WE, FASHION ENTHUSIASTS LIVE FOR! THIS IS WHAT WE CALL THE LOVE AND PASSION FOR FASHION!!!
Keep posted. I love y'all!

_______________________________________CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN x GARETH THOMAS
Lo and behold, Christian Louboutin steps out in the "Gareth" shoe at the opening of an exhibition at London's Design Museum last 30th of April 2012 that celebrates the past twenty years of his work. Mr. Louboutin paid homage to his signature soles with a nail polish red blazer, and, of course, shoes of his own design. For this special occasion, the designer chose to wear the "Gareth" which is a beautifully rendered classic wingtip, but with metal detailing at the toe.
.JPG "justjovitz_CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN x GARETH THOMAS")
The 'Gareth Thomas Shoes'! I BADLY NEED THIS!
The shoe is named after Gareth Thomas, 36, who was the most successful captain of the Wales National Rugby Team and British Lions full-back in recent times. Alfie (as everyone calls Thomas) and Louby (as only Thomas calls Louboutin) met last year, shortly after Thomas came out as gay in December 2009 – the first big-name rugby player to do so -- destroyed his marriage and nearly driven him to suicide. Christian, 47, who is also gay, was so inspired by Gareth’s story that he sent him a pair of custom-made slip-ons specially embroidered with copies of the Welshman’s tattoos – as a coming-out present. Hows's that?
.jpg "justjovitz_CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN x GARETH THOMAS")
Here, Gareth, holding a rugby ball, towers over his firm-platonic friend, Louby, clutching one of his signature high-heeled shoes.
Also,Christian adjusts Gareth’s tie as they dress in matching blazers, hats and two-tone shoes.
.jpg "justjovitz_CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN x GARETH THOMAS")
As many will know, the 5ft 6in French fashionista is in a long-term relationship with a landscape gardener, while the 6ft 3in Welsh rugby star is currently single.
Now Louboutin – whose red-soled shoes are a favourite with celebrities – and Thomas are hoping to work together on a Project Runway-style TV show to find the next top shoe designer.
In a recent interview Gareth said of his pal: “These days I own more of Louby’s shoes than I do rugby boots.”
Oh well, who says fashion and sports have nothing in common?
The $88, 877,989 dollars question is; When will Mr. Louboutin create a shoe for an Asian gay like me? And oops, before I forgot, I already came out 22 years ago! HAHA.

Schiap: “I enjoy creating for the woman who, no matter what her years, wears my clothes with the poise of youth.” Prada: “I hate the idea that you shouldn’t wear something just because you’re a certain age.”
Schiap: “One [has] to sense the trend of history and precede it.” Prada: “For me, it’s important to anticipate where fashion is heading.”

Many fashion boutiques and shops already serving the Davaoeños these days but one of the awaited brand new store at the Abreeza Shopping Mall is the new 1,000 square metre store, Marks & Spencer. This is one of the UK's leading retailers that has leading standards wherever they trade epitomises the Marks & Spencer approach to both the way they serve their customers and the way they run their business.
So, I was with co-fashion blogger Shayne Orpina who was in built-in printed top corset and trousers along with python skin hand bag.
They offer season’s latest womenswear and menswear collections. Among the models was Mr. John Spainhour and I haven't recognized that much Miss Monika Sta Maria. They are the grand winners of Century Tuna Superbods 2012 Search held last 14th of April 2012 at the Astoria Beachfront in Boracay.
The event was hosted by the TV/Live Host, best-selling author, endorser, make-up artist, columnist: Cosmo.PH and personality development speaker, the lovely, Miss Bianca Valerio!
Meet Miguel Golingan who was also there to meet the host after their several tweets earlier before the fashion show!
Following the store opening, M&S will have 19 stores in the Philippines, run under an existing franchise agreement with Rustan Marketing Specialists Inc. Around 21 million customers visit its stores each week and has 78,000 employees across the UK and 43 territories globally.

Now, while waiting for bf to arrive for the last full show of The Avengers at 9:30pm, Shayne and I stayed for a couple of minutes at Starbucks Coffee but she has to leave earlier due to some family reasons. What I really love about this coffee shop, not just they serve good caramel frappuccino but the folks are truly sweet hearts.
Shayne ordered for one venti of caramel frappuccino and I purchased their new Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino Blended Beverage and I got a scratch card to win an exciting treat that I can use for my next the same blended beverage purchase.
VOILA! HAHA. LUCKY DAY!!!
So, I bought this Marks & Spencer Curiously Strong Mints. I like it because it has no artificial colourings and flavourings unlike other mints, sad to note
.
And of course, a Marks & Spencer Autograph Body Spray. It is their best seller! I am such a big fan of body spray!
