It's well-established that I'm a huge fan of photo prints in fashion. That's why Mary Katrantzou is one of the designers I always look out for because she's a master in blending photorealism and fashion.
Seeing that level of quality and craftsmanship isn't something you'd normally expect in the Philippines, but trust Plains and Prints to defy expectations.
This weekend, they previewed their 20th anniversary collection which they dubbed as "Photography x Fashion." They worked with 2 great photographers (both of which I'm lucky to have worked with) - Wig Tysmans and Mark Nicdao.
They translated their best photographs into fabric, and designed a collection around it. Needless to say, the results are breathtaking.
This is one of the best-sellers during the preview sale. The manager said that it flew off the racks the moment they opened, and I was lucky to get a pair for my sisters.
It's composed of a blouse with a print of a museum in Jaipur called "Albert Hall."
Then, a skirt with a photo print of a palace, also in Jaipur.
The print was done beautifully, and the fabric gave it enough volume and body for the print to stand out.
In my opinion, this is the best collaboration they've ever had.
