Backlog: Sarabia Jewelry Launching

As promised, here's that long overdue backlog post. Just cause I feel so free at the moment. Free from work and school load, at least.

Early this month, I got to be part of a high-end production for our Event-Advertising Class under the brilliant Sir Kevin Piamonte. It was for the Sarabia Jewelry Brand Launching, held last December 10 at the Museo Iloilo in the presence of some big time personalities. I don't feel like this is a time for some narrative, so instead I give you photos, taken by my good friend and classmate for this class, THE Diody Fadullan, with some half-baked captions by my lazy self.

Expensive. The event was practically worth millions. A piece cost hundreds of thousands (at least). Imagine how tight security had to be. At least 40 securities were deployed to man the event.

 

Big Time. Gina Sarabia, Amor Maclang, David Celdran. Nuff said.

The production was pretty simple. It began with black-robed monks lighting up medieval candelabras over the runway, to the beat of some mysterious hymn played by a live band. I saw it bring people goosebumps. It was a brainchild of our brilliant professor of course. A few minutes later, the fashion show began, David Celdran hosting in-between collections. The pieces were inspired by different Iloilo Churches; this explains the whole medieval gregorian peg feels. The models gracefully strut their way to again, some sort of gregorian tune in a slow-paced, soft-faced walk. Then cocktails followed, a "big band" played for it, some sales talk commenced but  we had to bail before that, since our job there was basically done. Oh and yes, that's Froilene in the middle, our dear friend and classmate! So beautiful right.

Well that's us during cocktails, cocktailing our way to free buffet. And that's our awesome professor right there. Best. Class. Ever.

Enthralling, would be the right word. Can I just say, enlisting in this class will forever be one of the best decisions I have ever made in my whole student life. This is the same class that brought me to SM Little Stars, Korean Festival Fashion Show, and the recent SM City Christmas Opening. We certainly couldn't wait for that Petron Triathlon gig next year! Because of this experience I'm certainly looking into an Events career in the future. Yikes, that sounds near omg three months til graduation *dies.
