FASHION & WOMEN EMPOWERMENT AT ILLUSTRADO EVENT 2011


She had a dream, a vision of good life and future, she struggles and she struggles harder. The new woman. Ordinary woman. Almost self made with nothing but raw guts and  strong survival instinct. Woman with balls, who's unafraid to face challenges.


 Meet the ILLUSTRADO WOMEN.Women of substance, a mother, a sister and  a  friend. 


At the Illustrado Event 2011, I was upfronted with disarming ladies who shine, who muscled their way to the top. These are women who are changing the stereotype on their  head by being...themselves. An amazing summit of  women who are in the forefront of new social order that took place in Dubai.

  They came in all sizes, age and degree of appearance at the red carpet, forgetting for the moment that red carpets are  all about celebrities and film stars, they are real women on their moments- a collective consciousness of a  nation of filipina women we look up and emulate to. Women who sacrifice, who need  to be strong  and trying to have the empowerment.


                      WOMEN OF SUBSTANCE 2011 ISSUE

That day I saw a new definition of empowerment, they are no longer boxed over someone, it is the empowerment over themselves, assuming  total control of their own lives, physically, morally and emotionally.  Women who dressed up, women who earn and are responsible of their  actions, women  who are aware and in- charge of their  bodies and fashionable well- being.


 Women who shy are passe. It's all about  facing the mirror unafraid to say, " I am a woman, a beautiful  fabulous woman".

 It is about time that  women explore their boundaries and create new images , feeling  free  to get out from the boxes of traditional impositions. There is something  pleasing about women who reinvent themselves. It’s a new era of female domination – what existed in the echelons of the kitchen has moved to the workplace. It’s not really about who wears the pants, rather who finds himself holding the skirt..!!!!


KEEP FIERCE AND FABULOUS, LADIES !!!!!!!!!!
