Chris Diaz | Philippine Fashion Week SS 2010

Inspired by Japanese artist Kako Ueda and Far Eastern aesthetics, designer Chris Diaz's spring summer collection is all about sensual femininity, luxurious mystery and modern beauty.

Taking flight from an admiration of Ueda's patience and masterful attention to detail when it comes to paper applique, Diaz's pieces showcase a dynamic play of moods and colors that reference the different aspects of nature. Flora and foliage come alive in delicate ruffles and pleats, making the collection a vibrant and riveting one.


Diaz skillfully make use of the crispness of organdy, shantung, taffeta, moire and organza, and contrasts them with the softness of satin, Chinese silk and faux snakeskin. Using the colors pink, salmon, almond, jade, eau de nil, lily-pad green, poppy, crimson, fuchsia, turquoise, and black, the result is a magnificently romantic collection that evokes the characteristics of the modern geisha: beautiful, feminine and sensual --with an air of captivating mystery.
