kc concepcion, luis manzano for sm shoes and bags holiday 2013 phfw show + catalog

Day 1 of Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2013 started out with a bang. The SM Shoes and Bags show will be a tough contender to beat with its cutting edge stage design and wall to wall LED screens....music was pretty gnarly too.

But more than the production, the new offerings from SM Parisian, Salvatore Mann and Milanos were a sight to behold with styles inspired by the latest European fashions...see for yourself from the photos below...

The Salvatore Mann and SM Milanos show featured modern takes on the classic loafer, oxfords and brogues plus a lot of beautiful totes that would look good on the arm of any man or woman (I'm crushing the croc skin)...and guess what? They cost less than 1k.

Wrapping up the Salvatore Mann show was a walk down the runway by their endorser, Luis Manzano, who was looking dapper in a bluck tuxedo which he paired with lace-ups from the brand. However, Sam Milby for SM Milanos was nowhere to be seen...

Next up, my favorite, SM Parisian :)

Their Holiday 2013 show was probably the best I have ever seen. It was shoeporn + bagporn all the way. Too many to mention drool-worthy platform pumps, ankle straps, boots, sandals and wedges + the chicest minaudieres and totes that are guaranteed to be show stoppers no matter where you are...

Ladies start saving up those paychecks cause you'll want to start hoarding before they run out. And run out they will with most items costing less than a thousand!

And just like the Salvatore Mann show, the SM Parisian show's finale was a stunning appearance by KC Concepcion who was looking very much like a princess in a long, drapey purple gown with beautifully glittered silver pumps from their Holiday 2013 collection.
