Folded and Hung features its Summer 2011 Fashion Trends in it’s biggest Fashion event of the year, The Streetcast Fashion Show 2010 featuring styles inspired by the love affair of the Coachella Fashion with Classic Americana.


The Coachella Music and Arts Fest held every year in Indio, California is a celebration of art in all its forms: music, visual arts (installation art and sculptures), and fashion. Yes, fashion! It’s an oasis of “streetwear” fashion that cries for self-expression.

Known for consistently introducing new fashion trends in the retail industry, stylish brand Folded and Hung gives you a summer collection that takes inspiration from what festers (festival goers) wear to the three day Coachella Fest and celebrates it as a fashion event, with the unique F&H style signature of course! After all, it is who you are and not what you spend which is this year’s Streetcast theme.

Folded and Hung Summer 2011 Collection is the best of casual street style. It’s about “everyday people” fashion. And when you give art the freedom to rein, the result is simply awesome! Big in comfort and also big in style, it’s an obsession with clothes that have stood the test of time.

The Folded and Hung Summer 2011 Collection is filled with pieces that aim to capture the backbone of American fashion - free enterprise, freedom of expression and a mix of the old and the new, given a modern twist here and there to fit the Filipino sense of style and fashion.

For the FH woman this summer 2011, key pieces of the collection which is huge in Coachella fashion are vintage inspired long dresses, tunics in light weight materials and lace tiered skirts. And because of the hot temperature of the season, one huge trend are denim shorts. From cut-offs to retro shorts in light washed denim materials, these pieces are sure favorites for any summer activity.

Floral and colorful prints are everywhere! Loose fitting jumpers and dresses held around the waist by a basic belt helps define the figure in comfort and form. Head pieces in knots pattern and bags sport floral prints, you’d think it’s the 70’s and the 90’s. Big shades with thick frames in various colors and classic aviator shades are best vintage favorites.

For the FH men, it’s free flowing fashion and self-expression with a casual mix of resort shirts, soft cargos, Henley tees, dhoti shorts and relaxed denim. Biker graphic tees and patchwork woven tops are perfect match for printed shorts, denim slouch slim jeans, drop crotch sweatpants and faded retro denim shorts.

Color palette is inspired by nature. Fresh green, a splash of watery blue, juicy red, vivid orange and unbleached neutral tones give a delicious flavor to all pieces.

Overall, the Folded and Hung 2011 Summer Collection is a casual mix of hippie, ethnic, gypsy, grunge and vintage elements with a modern outlook that’s intensely concerned with artistic self-expression that is always sexy in all its forms.

Folded and Hung officially declares the summer season open with 2010 Streetcast Fashion Show!

This is the third time that I have been wearing the same hat which I got from Anagon. Of course I definitely love it coz it completes the whole look, talk about adding edge to the outfit.
Just a random day as Karl, Edrick and I did some shots here in my pad's roof deck. We've been loving this spot lately. Our schedules jived so we instantly grabbed the opportunity!
We went to Greenbelt afterwards spotting people for Manila Streetsyle. It was a day of fun-fun-fun!!!

Going Straight....

When I was in High School, I always had my hair straightened up because at that time, curls were super out. It was an insecurity since everyone wants to have that long straight hair like the ads on TV.
For 10 loong years, I have been doing this ritual and that I spent a lot on maintaining the straight hair do. It came to a point that my stylist here in Manila told me to chop the straight part off (since I haven't had it Re-bonded for over a year). Now, I am loving the curly 'do!

My friend Yekky, asked me to model again for his new collection, MIADORE, and as for a change in the look, he opted to straighten my hair out. It took about an hour to achieve this look! hahah
BTS photos will be posted here soon! =)

I always consider Fridays as one of the best days in the week. Work ends as it gives you time to rest. During this day, it is always a "Dress Down" at work, but I just wanted to give my style a twist.
My friends Karl and Mike own Paradigm Shift, and as part of the challenge and helping them promote the line, I tried 2 of their pieces on and wore it according to my style. The clothes are really comfy, talk about rayon.
