Fierceness of Kyl: October 2012

Shizophonic

It's been a while since i posted a look here as i have busy with lots of stuff and and I wanna start again and return with a BANG. Schizophonic - From root word schizo (split) and phone (voice/sound). I have entitled it schizophonic because I have performed on our x-mas party using my two voices. My natural male voice and my falsetto (female voice). I have attempted to have a duet with myself and had the courage to be Mariah Carey and Boys II Men. Aside from fashion, my second passion is singing. I am a frustrated singer. If you want to view the full video just click this link: youtube.com/watch?v=_Gvu7FPj-oY Enough about the sound. Let's talk about fashion. I have created this two-piece outfit or shall i say four-piece using my old clothes. Well to start of, my male outfit was made from my old black pants, gray and white and black checkered vest. For the female look, i have created this silver semi see-through long sleeves and bedazzled with sequins to somewhat cover the breast area and ribbons. I have created a mini layered black skirt and gray fur. Black stilettos and black boots for my shoes. Hope you guys liked it!

Post Indepence Day Look..

Post-independence day.. I had this look a week after US celebrated their Independence Day. My top is a simple tee with a different type of v-neck neckline in red and white detailing. I bought this from SM, A local mall here in the Philippines. I actually bought this accidentally. I am really not a mall-type kinda shopper. Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against it its just that most of their clothes are in small sizes good thing I lost some weight. :-). My pants is what i call butterfly pants, i named it butterfly since the effect that the pockets gave when you do not close the buttons all the way up has a butterfly effect. For my shoes, this is the flagship of the look since it is an American flag-styled vans sneakers. This has been with me for almost 5 years now, hence the somewhat dilapidated look. For my accessories, i am wearing a black rosary-type necklace but instead of a cross as a pendant I changed it with the letter K. colored beads, and triangle knapsack.

Something Baggy

Something Baggy..

In fashion they say, someone who has a big built should never wear loose clothing as it adds up to their built. I say go right ahead as long as something in your outfit is fitted. I wore this somewhat baggy cargo pants because I just love the way the pockets go with the pants. It is somewhat utilitarian and fashionable at the same time. I love the placement of the pockets. If we are not too careful, yes it might add up to your built but sometimes it can hide and sometimes enhance the part of your body that needs noticing.

I wore a fitted Monakiki shirt. I just love the print of this shirt. It is quirky and cool. This is what I'm talking about not wearing all loose clothing. I hope I was able to compliment the pants with a tighter top. I am also wearing one of my early creations. An espadrille type shoes. I used a gold leather with embossed design of leaf. Here is a close up look:

For my jacket, it was knitted jacket i bought from one the thrift store I featured on my going green post.

Going Green

Going Green..

I named this look going green because of evident use of green palette in the outfit. The green cardigan was bought from my favorite thrift store in Anonas, Quezon City. There is a mall-type building with wide variety of thrift stores where they offer clothes, bags, accessories and even make-up and shoes. Sometimes it can get pricey especially if it's new arrival but since I always go there I know when it is on its 50% off and even 70%.

The pants were from Bench. It was one of my favorite pants because this was the first pair I own where the fit was awesome. It is supposed to be skinny-type but I lost a lot of weight ^_^ go figure.

The shoes I bought from Cardams. A local shoe store in Manila. It is very comfortable and I love the color.

We Found Love Acoustic

Here is my acoustic version of We Found Love by Rihanna:

We Found Love Acoustic

This is my own version of the popular dance/rnb song of Rihanna. This version was previously sang by Jessie J. I am a big fan of those two girls. I always copy Rihanna's hair some say I look like her.. :-)

I also like Jessie J's way of singing. She is full of soul, and I love the way she puts her on twist on a song.

I hope you guys like it..

Jaded

Jaded..

I named this look jaded not because i feel jaded but because most of my colors are in the shades of green. I am wearing a tee that said Kill Hip Hop. I have nothing against hip hop, don't get me wrong, I just find it humorous.

I bought the jacket from OshKosh Bgosh. When I first saw this, my eyes were immediately drawn to it due to the vibrant colors it consists. The cut of this is short more of a bolero-type which I also love.

My pants were from Thailand. I just love the tiny detailing of the stitches in the front and back. The color was out of this world too.

My shoes are my signature. This is my own creation. A yellow top-sider. Here is the draft and finish product:

Silk and Star

Silk and Star.. I called this silk and star for two obvious reasons. Silk because i have created a raincoat out of silk fabric. It has been raining for the past weeks and I was inspired to create a raincoat-inspired outerwear but made it more current and fashion forward. I have put a string in the waist area and neck so it can be tightened up. Star because of the watch i bought for a cheap price. I just find this watch super cute. Here is a picture for a close up look:

For my accessories. i have a created a ring from my old necklace. I have used the square pendant from my old necklace to create a ring, charm bracelet using different stones. My necklaces were a vintage silver choker and a rosary of music. Here is a close-up look:

For my shoes, I bought it from MdB. It is made out of denim which i love. I am trying to add this style on my collection of shoes that i am making. I am still studying how to create a pattern of this without me tearing this apart. This will be coming soon! Here is a close up look:

Beigeful

Beigeful. I just invented a word for this look(lol). The name I concocted for this is pretty self-explanatory. All the colors in this look are in the family of beige and neutrals.

For the top it is a regular beige polo shirt from Lacoste. I had this way back when I was on college. It just proves that i have lost a lot of weight. ^_^ I bought the jacket from HK. A faux leather jacket with D&G logo. I love the zipper detailing on the front and the color is a dark shade of gray. For close up look:

My accessories are featured on the picture as well. An oriental styled neck piece which I bought for just a reasonable price. For my watch, it is another piece I bought from HK. They have great formal watch collection for a cheap price. For my pants this is the remainder of the fabric i used for my Burberry Madness look in LB. I made pants out of it. The fit is very fitted however this is the type of fabric where it is stretch and at the same time very breathable. Hope you like it. Please hype my looks to in Lookbook.

Victorian and Leather

Victorian and Leather.. This look was completely done by me.. Victorian style top, It is made out of Dark green and light green jersey. I used draping method and pleading technique for the small folds and applied ruffles and pearl buttons to create the victorian look: Here is a close-up look:

My pants were created out of black leatherette, the front part was stitched to give an embossed look, zipper on the sides so it can be stretched and black cotton fabric at the back for comfort since wearing leather on skin is very uncomfortable:

Lastly Shoes were made out of blue green snake skin leather and added 2-1/2 inches heels my new design for shoes..

Victorian Obsession

I have been quite obsessed with Victorian-style nowadays. I have been creating Victorian-styled blouses and practicing my pleading skills for three looks now. For the top, I have added a Victorian-styled white neck area blouse to my simple brown cardigan. I also created the cross necklace, it is made out of clear Swarovski and pearl beads with the big cross. I have included it on the necklace not as a pendant but continued part of the necklace itself. Here is the close-up look:

For my pants,it is black leather pants from Oxygen. For my shoes: Courtesy of YRYS, black shoes with brown alligator skin. Here is the pic for close-up look:

No Smoking Sign..

I called this no smoking sign as I was literally standing to it. I have been trying to quit smoking for quite sometime now. I stopped for a year maybe to let my lungs regenerate and unfortunately I got hooked again. For my look: Top: I am wearing a purple, gray, and black striped polo shirt from BUM Equipment. Pants: Gray butterfly pants. I named it butterfly pants as the effect of the button down on the pockets made it look like butterfly. Shoes: This is from Converse. Mixture of Black and white checkered and black cloth materials. Accessories: I have made most of my accessories here except for the suspenders which is bought from Divisoria. A famous cheap shopping market in the PH.

Chinese Inspired..

It's been a while since i have posted here in LB. I have been busy with things. I have been to HK to attend the Fashion Access Fashion show and shoes and leather convention as you know I specialize in shoes. For my look: I named it Chinese inspired cause this top was Chinese-inspired, I also have my snake bracelet to boot, to have a closer look of the stitching and design here it is:

The pants is my creation. It has blue and brown stripe at the back and plain brown at the front. Shoes are my own creation too. Fashion statements and khaki and light brown animal skin leather: Here is the draft when i just finished sewing the leathers:

Here is a close-up look when i put it on its form.

and the finish product..

Chief Justice Blair..

This next look was inspired by Blair Waldorf from GG and the newly appointed, first female chief justice in the Philippines. I created the top with those two powerful women in mind. I used silk for me to easily manipulate the folding and draping in the shoulder area. The pants are from faux leather material, very figure shaping with specs of gold. The shoes of course was created by me again and here is the draft of it when I just finished sewing the form.

Here is the finished product: Khaki Alligator skin Dress shoes.
