Puerto Rico High Fashion Week 2012 featuring The Blondes
JapiCHIC
is the new fashion blog on the block. JapiCHIC’s
launch coincides with none other than the fashion industry’s most prominent
event, fashion week, which is celebrated around the globe in synchronous ways. Today we highlight our very own Puerto High
Fashion Week, blasting the runway from September 19-22, 2012.
Puerto
Rico High Fashion Week 2012 is the preeminent event in the Puerto Rico fashion
industry and in the Caribbean. Taking
place in a new scenario this year, the Roberto Clemente Coliseum, the Puerto
Rico High Fashion Week marks its 12th edition of local fashion
extravaganza. This event allows fresh
and experienced fashion designers to display their latest collections in runway
shows for the benefit of buyers and fashionistas to take a look at the latest
trends. Most importantly, this event lets
the industry know what is “in” and what is “out” for the season.
Like
in previous editions, the Puerto Rico High Fashion Week 2012 showcases local distinguished
designers, up-and-coming designers or “The New Generation” and exciting
international designers. Featured this
year are the Spring/Summer 2013 collections from fashion newcomers such as
Juliana Abislaimán and Amaury Matos, and renowned designers Eddie Guerrero,
Rubén Darío, David Antonio and Lisa Thon.
Puerto Rico High Fashion Week 2012 goes out with a bang today featuring Colombian
designer Gustavo Arango and New York based celebrity designers The Blonds,
composed by David and Phillipe Blond.
The
Blonds have been called The Kings of Bling because of their ultra glittery and
embellished, intricately extravagant and glamorous creations. Their stunning masterpieces have been worn and
coveted by fashion, movie and music icons such as Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna,
Katy Perry, Sarah Jessica Parker, Nicki Minaj, Jennifer López, Fergie,
Christina Aguilera, Paris Hilton, Kylie Minogue, the Barbie doll, among others,
and covered in mainstream fashion magazines such as Vogue, Elle, Cosmopolitan,
GQ and Prestige. Here are just some of
the stars that have been bejeweled, bedazzled, gowned and corseted, studded and
spiked by The Blonds.
