Glam Collection by Manicqueen
Sunday, April 27th, 2008My good friend, Roshelle Han Asoy, is a recent graduate of the Fashion Institute of the Philippines. She showcased her first ever collection at their graduation fashion show held at the Trinoma Activity Center, September of last year. From her Art Nouveau collection, she was nominated for Best in Casual Wear.
In November of the same year, Han asked me to do a photoshoot for her second fashion design collection. So, we checked our schedules, and made an appointment for a Sunday shoot at the Leyte Capitol Building. We brought along another good friend, Abigail Liza Nemenzo - who modeled for us; Han’s brother and their Yaya to act as assistants.
The Glam Collection by Manicqueen is a mix of formal and casual wear - created for the trend-setters, and those who definitely want an oomph! in their closets. Definitely not for the faint-hearted, Han’s designs uses textures and accessories that a regular person wouldn’t normally use. Her artistic vision, and strong desire to create jaw-dropping pieces, however, has proven to produce very unique creations that more and more people are starting to pick up.
And because of the freedom that a lot of cosmopolitan ladies see in her designs, Han has her hands full of requests for her glamorous clothes. You can now see her clothes worn at chic fashion parties in Manila; or on a mother and daughter glam tandem for the baby’s birthday bash!
You can see more of her designs at http://manicqueen.multiply.com and at http://wildcherrylipz.multiply.com 
The Fashion Institute of the Philippines was established in the year 2003. They have, since then, produced quality graduates who are now big names in fashion - operating their own shops and boutiques, or working here and abroad for various fashion and design companies.
