She Will Go Places: Tricia Gosingtian Interview::

   TRICIA GOSINGTIAN is the name. She was the first fashion blogger I knew back on her "triciawillgoplaces.tumblr.com" website (and she explained how she came up with that later on the interview) She's a Filipino by the way (though she's half Chinese y blood). But she was born and raised here, so she considers herself Filipino all the way! :) I find her the cutest fashion blogger I've ever known since, obviously, she's into cute and adorable stuff.

Know more about TRICIA/The Slumberdoll on the interview below. Enjoy!

Tell us something about Tricia Gosingtian.

I'm 23, and I take pictures for a living. I've been active on the Internet since 2004, as "slumberdoll" from deviantART, but nowadays I consider my main blog, "Tricia Will Go Places" as my main base. I graduated from the Ateneo de Manila University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Major in Information Design degree. 

I grew up very interestingly - my parents are both into business and marketing, and I have 3 brothers who influenced me to be the geeky person that I am today. I never really imagined I'd be living the kind of lifestyle that I have now, since I've always been a really shy, awkward kid who'd rather stay at home and play video games. No one ever predicted that someone like me would go into something like taking personal style pictures and whatnot.

You are both a model and a photographer. But what do you like more? Being in front of the camera, or behind it?

Honestly, I always experience something more meaningful when I'm behind the camera. Photography will always be my passion, but there's definitely nothing wrong with being in front of it as I also love the glitz and the glamour of having my hair and make-up done in ways I can never think of. Being able to mix both is super ideal - I have so much fun with my blog!

Tell us something about your blog. What is its name and how did you come up with it?

It's a venue where I mix everything I like - fashion, travel, photography, etc. It's called "Tricia Will Go Places" mainly because I was a silly girl back in college and I just played with the idea of me going to different places to shoot and hoping to go places with my work. And voila! Apparently, it got stuck in people's heads already so I couldn't change it to something more mature anymore (haha)

What is "style" for you?

Style is how I do what I do. It will definitely be different from how another person will do it, but that's the most glorious thing about it. 

Describe your personal style.

I coined a term for it - "sophisti-cute", which is a mix of both sophistication and cuteness. I'm super into Japanese fashion, which coincidentally takes a lot of its roots from Western fashion too!

Who are your style icons? Why?

Right now, I am loving Ena Matsumoto and Momoko Ogihara. They are the fashion producers of the MODE brands EMODA and MURUA, and I love them for being able to create really versatile casual pieces that are both wearable and chic. 

If you were do design a gown for a red carpet event, what would it look like and who would you love see wearing it?

It would be something that plays with proportions, definitely! I'm not sure how it'd look like, but I'd love to make something that's both elegant and adorable, if there is such a thing. I'd love to see anyone wear it. I'd be happy if anyone would be crazy enough to wear something that I made (haha)

The Scene Stealer : Lissa Kahayon Interview ::

     Lissa Kahayon is a model, fashion blogger, and freelance fashion stylist. I first found out about her after following David Guison on tumblr. The moment I saw her blog, I just fell in love with her style -- espeially her shoes! She's pretty and I really get that 'she's really nice' vibe. :) Here's the little Q&A. Hope you enjoy reading! :)

Q: Tell us something about Lissa Kahayon.

A: I'm 22 years old and the eldest of 3 children. I graduated with honors from DLSU Manila with a degree of Behavioral Science. My first job was an assistant to Liz Uy, I'm the co-owner of Lovevintagemanila and I do freelance styling.

Q: How do you describe your personal style? Where/who do you draw your inspirations from?

Q: How long have you been interested in the fashion industry? What made you pursue?

A: Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to take up fashion in college but my dad didn't want me to. That didn't stop me from pursuing my love for fashion so I started blogging when I was in 2nd year College and I managed my online store that sells clothes.

A: My blazers and corsets- they're very easy to style and can go from day to night.

Paradigma : Patricia Prieto Interview ::

     Meet Patricia Parieto, guys! First, I want to emphasize how much I love her hair and I'm planning to do that to mine this summer! :> Anyway, here's the interview! :)

1. Tell us a little about Patricia Prieto. 

- Patricia Prieto is a 21 year old personal style blogger, stylist, model, student and soon to be fashion designer. I study in SoFA (School of Fashion and the Arts), I style Julia Montes and blog about fashion and everything in between. I travel, dance, wish I can sing and love life. I'm an ordinary girl with extraordinary jobs.

2. How long have been interested in the fashion industry? And what made you pursue?

- I've loved fashion for as long as I can remember. From doodling dresses, shoes and bags for my mum to pretty much becoming that. Of course growing up I decided to become a doctor, painter, race car driver, surfer and even a writer. That all passed (not all of course) but fashion was always my passion so I went for it and love every bit of it!

3. What is "style" for you?

- Style is a form of self expression.

4. Describe your personal style.

- I like to think it's sophisticated yet edgy.  I go for clean pieces but make it edgy one way or another. Actually, I believe London fashion has the greatest influence on me.

5. Who are your style icons? Why?

- Well, my style icons would have to be Edgie Sedgwick, Sienna Miller, Kaya Scodelario, Kate MIddleton, Karlie kloss, Rooney Mara, the Olsen Twins, Rumi Neely and Chiara Ferragni. I look up to them cause they have their own style of dressing, I just wish I could be like them. Have the same fashion sense as these women.

6. If you were do design a gown for a red carpet event, what would it look like and who would you love see wearing it?

- I'd make it very classy, a mix of black and gold. I'd use tulle, chiffon, beads and such!! I'll make the dress something that when worn or seen it'll look like a dream. Maybe I'd love to see Kate MIddleton or Rooney Mara wear it on the red carpet. If that happens, my life would be complete!

THIS OR THAT :

skirt or shorts : Shorts!

flats or heels : Heels!

leopard or zebra print : Leopard!

curly or straight hair: BOTH! But I like wavy more, hahah

colorful or monochromatic : BOTH! I like to mix these up!
