Vintage Meets Pop Art

One of our mini projects in our INTROFD(Introduction to Fashion Design) subject is to style ourselves. The first concept that got in my mind is COLORS, because I really love them! ☺ Good thing, I could use our room for the photo shoot!Also, my sister has these photos of Audrey Hepburn on her wall, it really fits my theme!☺

There's Always A Rainbow After The Rain ☺

One of the best blessings I got this year is the internship with Ms.Kate Paras. She's the Associate Fashion Editor of Chalk Magazine. I got the chance to help her work with AVA(It's the Philippines' first invitation-only shopping community) also.-That's actually where I met Andrai Antonio and James Muleta See how GREAT GOD IS?Everything's connected!He's the BEST WRITER OF LIFE ever! Every shoot was just unforgettable and exciting. The best thing about it is that I get to meet wonderful people in the fashion industry. So far, all the people I've met were great and nice!☺ Can't wait for more blessings from God!!!
I always feel so excited and glad whenever I see my name "Louie Go Yao" on the magazine!It feels so great!

Sorry if the photos are crappy, I just used my phone.

The Old Has Gone,The New Has Come.

My sister once told me that if I lose someone/something, there'd be someone/something new that will come and it'll be better, and with everything that's happening in my life now I'd say she's totally right!

It's been exactly 3 months since 2011 started, and in that 3 months God has been blessing me with so many things. He's really GREAT and words just can't explain how MAGNIFICENT HE IS. 

Just last March 25 the SDA Student Council held an event called BandAge100, it was the first interschool battle of the bands in our school,De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde. It's only 2 weeks before the event when my friend told me that I'd be organizing the fashion exhibit. God suddenly poured me with great ideas that I really wanted to do it as soon as possible!I actually got too excited instead of feeling stressed.☺ I wanted to have a photo shoot with the models wearing the creations of fashion students in CSB,and the photos will be displayed in the exhibit. I also wanted to have a fashion video that will be played there. So, I started to contact some of my friends from fashion and asked them if I could borrow a dress/skirt/top. Then I started looking for models,photographers and videographers. In the end,God provided me with the people who made this exhibit great and possible!☺ We had our shoot last March 19 at Blue Ridge,Quezon City(Thank you,Fico for suggesting and offering your house!☺). The great thing about this shoot is that it wasn't stressful at all. It was tiring but it was really one of the best days,it was too fun to feel the stress!The models were not professionals but they acted like they were!They were all perfect!☺ Gabbie and Drea were also perfect being the photographers!They did their best to take such good photos even though lights weren't enough anymore.☺ Andrai and James were the videographers and they're just the best and "awesomest" guys, including Fico as their "light man" and assistant.Haha!☺ AND!Of course,Bianca and Zoe who did their very best to help and guide for everything to be perfect!☺ That shoot was just a great blessing for me and I hope for my friends too!
Old friendships are growing stronger and new friendships started building up after that day.They are the friends that I will surely treasure in my heart forever!I've also fallen more in love with my course.☺
