PFW: The Ramp

~ ~
 FASHION
D: vintage top, F21 bell bottoms, JS Dany platforms, necklace from The Ramp
I didn't feel like bringing on the razzle dazzle for an afternoon show, (which might be a faux pas during fashion week) but I threw on a pair of kitsch cat-eye glasses at the last minute. In other news, the trousers are made of a nice stretch fabric so they're super comfortable.
The top was a lucky find during a thrifting trip. It was actually brand new with all the tags still attached and a spare button to boot. Love the contrast navy trim and the overall 70's vibe.
I'm really liking the shorter necklace length and more structured design that's kind of trending right now. This one is a brass toned collar wrapped in leather strips with feathers dangling. Only P450 at The Ramp Crossings!
P: H&M button down, 21Men bowtie, Primark belt, Topman pants, Office shoes, River Island hat, Aldo sunglasses
As you can probably tell, I'm not a regular at Philippine Fashion Week (or any fashion show, for that matter). so I don't really have a clear idea what men wear to these events. Just thought I'd jazz up an outfit with a bow tie, since I'm not allowed to wear them to work anymore. :(
The button-down was a steal at 7 Euros at the H&M store on Champs-Elysees. I was a bit apprehensive about the yellow at first, but I knew that I needed a new color (that isn't blue or white) in my office wardrobe. Also, D randomly interjected that it reminded her of the uniform she wore in high school!
Here's a close-up of my bow tie's texture and print as well as my Goldilocks top!
THE SHOW
The Ramp Crossings had a fabulous show that was kicked off with this black and white montage. I loved the vibe of this segment, structured and clean with interesting details. I was especially fond of all the tops and outerwear they featured.
Really liking this mullet silhouette!
Loved all the capes they used throughout the show!
Another top with great movement
Interesting collar feature that looks really sharp all buttoned-up
Love the high shine and the peplum, so sassy!
The next segment showcased snake print and continued on with the black theme.
Another great mullet shape, this time in dress form.
Great swoosh in the trousers! That always adds a little spring to your step.
Lovely draping details
Finally, they had the more laid-back segment of the fashion show. This time they highlighted shades of cornflower/mustard. The models were all styled with mary-jane flatforms and black court shoes. The outfit that's front and center was one of my favorites of the show. The cape looks amazing and so does that crisp white top! The entire outfit is so eye-catching without "screaming."
Congratulations to The Ramp team on a wonderful show! Thank you for being so accommodating to us! As usual, The Ramp gives us more than a handful of reasons to visit one of their branches. You're sure to find something you absolutely must have during every visit. I can't wait to pick up some of the pieces I spotted.
We leave you with this snapshot of the cute kiddos working it on the runway! For all the mommas out there, don't forget to make a pit stop at The Ramp Kids to stock up on some fashionable new threads for your tots!

The Ramp on Show

~ ~
Last Tuesday, Rosanna and I attended the fashion show of The Ramp's summer selection.
I remember doing a finds feature on The Ramp many posts ago and P and I are huge fans of the store. 
I love how they carry so many different labels and you're sure to find whatever it is you're looking for.
Sometimes, even if you aren't looking, you end up walking away with something anyway!
Here are some things that grabbed my attention.

We were both gushing over the cap-toe slip-ons with nautical emblems!
Too bad P doesn't want them for himself so I could live vicariously through him.

Cute gingham shorts!

Loved the suit second from the left!

Possibility wedges in a great shade of yellow

Loved these! I hate it when toes go past the edge of the shoes though! :s

Possibility peep toes in lavender with black chunky heel

I liked the colors and cut of the Schizo dress one the left!

The much-anticipated Gold Dot April collection made an appearance at the show. 

We were seriously going gaga over all of them!

Pretty beaded top and pale pink pantaloons!

Loved this Willow top! 
I like how slouchy it is and the rope tie is a nice touch.

Willow's offerings

Adorable baby and skirt!

This set was so pretty! Loved the colorplay!
My favorite is the blouse on the far right.

Spot the khaki and salmon dress at the left!
It kind of reminded me of Alexa Chung.

Oh to be tall and thin! Wide stripes are so hard to pull off!

Khaki and pink boxy top caught my eye.

The blue dress was so understatedly chic.

I really want to buy that sheer polo! The collar just sells it for me!

WHAT I WORE

 Bkk sheer top, F21 midi skirt, JS Dany platforms

 Picked up this skirt at Forever21 last week. 
They also carry it in black but I like this shade because it seemed less severe to me.

Longer hemlines totally kick mini-skirts' kaboose!

 vintage leaf necklace, Metro fringe necklace, vintage bracelets, F&H cord bracelet
square wood ring from Bali, F21 knuckle ring, vintage gold ring

Have fun shopping at The Ramp!
