#philippine fashion
I stumbled upon a picture of a VERY fashionable lad in Facebook and automatically clicked it and browsed some of his photos. When I found out that he has a LOOKBOOK account, it was a no-brainer, I had to see all of his looks! The guy I am referring to is no other than, Miguel Paolo Celestial. A 30 year old blogger, writer, designer from Manila, who DOES NOT LOOK LIKE HIS AGE!
When I was browsing through his LOOKS on LookBook, my attention was caught by the adornment around his neck.
Little did I know, Miguel Paolo Celestial was the one who painstakingly handcrafted this gem of a neck piece!
BOSQUEJO, as it is named, is his brainchild. “Bosquejo” is the Spanish word for Sketch,Outline,Draft. The name was initially used for his mens wear blog El Bosquejo , which served as his online diary, which features his daily looks and everything about Men’s Fashion.
Miguel, being the man of art that he is, made accessories all for himself, using materials that usually wouldn’t be worn as an accessory. Take stuff from the hardware for example. Through his blog and LookBook account, the public seemed to grow fond over his accessories. This convinced Miguel to produce his one-of-a-kind masterpieces commercially.
His pieces, through time and word-of-mouth, became ubiquitous. Appearing in several fashion blogs and publications.
Bosquejo even caught Rajo Laurel’s liking, allowing several pieces to be sold his creations.
I am such a big fan of his SACRE Collection, it was an homage to the “gods” that we believe in. He created it in a way that the pieces wouldn’t look “churchy” or something ONLY a Priest and a Nun would wear. here are some of his collection off SACRE:

Minutes ago, I made my first post raving about Yakky Borje Balingit’s Miadore S/S 2012 Cult Of Halcyon collection exclusively for House Of Laurel. Now, I can’t help but blog about his MIADORE S/S 2012 : CULT of HALCYON made available online!
I browsed through Yekky’s facebook photos and of his latest collection and not one creation disappoint me. Yekky’s talent never fails to amaze me in the craziest possible ways.
Presenting, my favorite pieces off MIADORE S/S 2012 : CULT of HALCYON
wouldn’t it be nice to have a spin-off of SURVIVOR Philippines? hmmm..SURVIVOR Phlippines: Celebrity Fashionistas FACE-OFF! and these would be the IMMUNITY NECKLACES.. haha.. well, if I were to be a cast-away to receive this kind of immunity necklace, I wouldn’t give it back!
Dear. Mother. Of. The. Great. GOD!!!!
THIS ONE got me! Simply my FAAAVORITE piece off Miadore S/S 2012 Cult Of Halcyon Collection
Kylie, Madonna, Christina, J.Lo, and Britney would be so happy to see all these!
it wouldn’t be much of a surprise when people see you as a goddess when you wear any one of these chain creations!
and now, RINGS, CUFFS, and EARRINGS from Miadore S/S 2012 Cult Of Halcyon
it’s easy to conclude that Yekky got his inspiration from the Aztec Civilization. The influence from the Aztec Civilization and his use of modern materials is a recipe for a sure-fire hit collection! I loved every single one!
