Ripping the PR Philippines Collections: Aries Lagat

We're just gonna give away the ending right now: Aries was the winner with this collection of 13 looks, one of which had to be menswear. He described his muse thusly: "She's from another planet and she comes to earth because her planet is dying; she has to adapt but it doesn't always work, hence, the unbalance, most of the garments are distorted."

Unfortunately, there's not a word of that with which we disagree.

Watch the runway show here.


We'll say this about the guy: he's definitely got a point of view. Unfortunately, we can't see a lot of "skill" in this collection what with the "point of view" being so loud and all.


This wasn't bad. Hate the hem, but the bust and shoulder detail is interesting.


Ugh. NO.

Had this been constructed better, we could have perhaps discussed its structural qualities. Instead, we're blinded by bad sewing and forced to point out that it makes her hips look huge.


Not bad.


Also not bad. Mind you, we're not saying we'd ever wear this, but it's at least a cohesive look, with a minimum of execution issues.


No. Awful. It looks like 3 or four different outfits all worn at once.


It's like he hasn't finished building that bodice yet.


HORRIBLE.


Strangely incongruous. It's too simple and basic a dress compared to the rest of the collection.


Of course, then he had to have the gimmick to end all gimmicks.


Kinda lame.


It would have been cool if it made three great outfits, but the upshot to this whole schtick is "We took ONE cute dress and made THREE HIDEOUS OUTFITS out of it!"




Fugly pleated nightmares.
