Georgina Wilson to be Featured on America's Next Top Model

British-Filipina model and host Georgina Wilson joins the roster of Filipinos who were featured in the hit US reality search “America’s Next Top Model" (ANTM). Wilson posted on her Twitter account Wednesday that she will appear in the 17th cycle of the popular modeling show hosted and produced by top model Tyra Banks.

She said she “joined as a guest model/stylist," representing the Philippine Fashion clothing line, Bench, which served as the clothing sponsor for the semi-finals of the current “all-star" competition that gathered the favorite finalists from the past ANTM seasons. “I told the girls what to do for their semi-finals challenge," Wilson said. “We shot it in Greece and I can’t wait for it to come out."

The episode will air on Nov. 9 in the US and it will be shown in the Philippines on Nov. 14, Bench announced on its Facebook page. Before Wilson’s stint, the popular model search had invited US-based Philippine Fashion Designer Oliver Tolentino, whose gowns—made of abaca and piña—were featured in the “all-star" season.

Dubai-based Philippine Fashion Designer Michael Cinco, whose line of recycled 'couture' had been already featured in Cycle 16 last year, will headline the Finals episode of the show. Wilson tweeted that Cinco created the clothes for the Finals and that they were together during the Greece taping.

Lisa Damato, who is so far one of the remaining models in the show, had gotten acquainted with both Wilson and Cinco, and tweeted: "I love the Philippines! I want to go there!"

Philippine Fashion Designer Cora Manimbo and Fashion Jeweler Oscar Atendido wowed audiences with their works during the "Power Fashion Show for a Cause" in Moscow, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said. In a news release on Saturday, the DFA said the fashion show was held at the Eight and a Half Dollar Restaurant-Café-Bar in Moscow last September 23, 2011.

The show was a project of the Asia-Pacific Women's Group (APWG) of Moscow and the Filipino organization Bayanihan ng Bayan ni Juan. The DFA said proceeds of the fashion show were for the benefit of the special children of Tretyakov and the adopted orphanages of the APWG, a group of ladies based in Moscow led by the spouses of the Ambassadors to Russia from 21 Asia-Pacific countries.

Manimbo has designed dresses not only for Philippine Fashion clients but also those of other nationalities, including royal members in Asia. For the fashion show in Moscow, the DFA said Manimbo featured her creative interpretations of traditional Philippine dresses like the baro't saya and terno, using indigenous Philippine fabrics with intricate embroidery and beadwork. Meanwhile, Atendido, who also directed the fashion show, showcased his Philippine handcrafted filigree fashion jewelry collection, wrought in gold and handcrafted in an alley of silver and copper electroplated in 24-karat gold.

Philippine Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2012 - Ipanema Resort Wear Collection

This is the last fashion show that I covered last Philippine Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2012. This year, Ipanema collaborated with five Philippine Fashion Designers to create their own clothing design inspired by the collection. The five designers, Catherine Cavilte, Lyle Ibanez, Anthony Nocom, Dave Ocampo and Raoul Ramirez, crafted the Resort Wear Collection that featured distinctive style and design, one that truly underscores vivacious living.

So fashion-forward men and women, brace yourselves as Ipanema, the stylish Brazilian flip-flop brand, is once again showcased their latest Resort Wear Collection for Spring-Summer 2012. The changing of fashion seasons is enough to keep most stylistas on their toes – literally. These five fashion mavens were chosen not only for their modern and edgy design visions but also for their understanding of Philippine Fashion discerning style and taste. Here they are:

Anthony Nocom

Nocom's look was inspired from the bold beach colors from the Ipanema Surf Tomas Masc II and the classic black and white tribal prints of Ipanema Classica Urbana Masc.

Catherine Cavilte

She said her designs for Ipanema's Resort Wear Collections complement spring/summer elegance that features earthy tones and animal prints mounted on plain silk satins.  She said the Ipanema Appliques Ad II and Ipanema Classica Envolvente can be easily paired with her flowy dresses that ladies can wear casually on the beach or at dinner parties.

Dave Ocampo

His collection celebrates the colors of summer and feminism to emphasize the silhouette of women, using spandex and stretch tool material with floral and circular prints combined with bright and vibrant colors that are very comfortable in terms of cuts and designs.

Lyle Ibanez

Ibanez’s look for Ipanema Resort Wear Collection 2012 was inspired from the Ipanema Ritmos II Ad, a sling back flip-flops that has flowers appliqués and subtle geometric patterns.

Raoul Ramirez

For Ipanema Resort Wear Collection 2012, he created a look that based on the metallic characteristics of the Ipanema New Trance Fem and the floral accents of the elevated aesthetics of the Ipanema Ritmos Ad.

Here are some of the taken photos of their fashion show:
