Behind-The-Design: Esquire Ball

It’s that time of the year again! Esquire held it’s annual ball at the Makati Shangri-La Hotel last Tuesday. As usual, lots of familiar faces came in their sexiest formal gowns. Instead of showing you more photos from the party, let me take this opportunity to make another behind-the-design post. I’ve always said designing is my first love and it will always be. It’s actually the reason why I haven’t been able to blog everyday and on time like how I used to. I’ve been busy making gowns for weddings and formal occasions and I must admit that because of this, blogging has taken a backseat. But not to worry, from this day forward, I’ll try my best to get my blogging groove back on even with my line taking off.

So anyway, back to the Esquire ball. Here’s what I wore:

I know it’s not your typical Esquire Ball gown. I mean for one thing, my gown is embellished in pearls instead of sequins and other bling. But I really wanted to go for something different. When you hear Esquire Ball, it’s always cleavage, thigh-high slits and basically anything that screams smoking hot. I wanted to wear something that is still a little sexy but in a totally different level, just to shake things up a bit.

So basically, for this gown, I got a cream lace fabric, soft tulle and jersey in skintone. It’s a romantic mix that creates a dreamy look. It can look a little too sweet for Esquire though so to show a bit of skin, I left a few parts sheer like the part above my chest, most of my back and the tulle inserts on my legs.

I am in love with this lace fabric. It has dainty flowers and dots all over it that give a vintage and feminine appeal. The pattern actually inspired me to use pearls for the embellishments instead of my usual crystals, glass beads, cut beads and sequins. I think these pearls brought the gown to life in a quiet and subtle manner.

A tip: when you are using only one type and color of embellishment, mix different-sized beads to create texture and to prevent the bead work from looking too flat.

This gown is actually still a work-in-progress as we speak. Would you believe we only had less than 2 days to finish this gown in time for the ball? It’s not even my size! We only managed to make it work for the event. And now that the ball is over, I’m adding a few more beadwork and alterations to it to finish it off. Sigh. I wish I’d get a bride who’ll allow me to design a gown like this for her. Most brides in our country want ball gowns, big skirts and never-ending trains. I wish they’d see the beauty in gowns like these. I mean look at Kate Moss! (Talagang si Kate Moss pa ang ginawang example haha!) Would you be that bride please?

Aside from my gown, I also made my good friend Nicole Andersson‘s gown. I wanted to make a really simple gown for her–something that would show her curves off really well.

Tada! Nicole requested for the color navy blue. Check! I then suggested adding black leatherette and power knit on strategic areas. As I’ve said before, placing darker colored accents on the sides is a great way to create a flattering silhouette.

I then placed rounded shoulder pads to give the gown a stronger look. Since I love Nicole’s boobs (I know that doesn’t sound right LOL), I insisted on showing off her cleavage. To make it even sexier, I gave her gown double slits in front as well so that she can flaunt her legs. Too bad you can’t see the slits in these photos. My bad!

Knits are always so unforgiving to us mere human beings. I’m sure you know what I mean ladies. Just the tiniest bulge and boom, there it is. Our secret weapon? A corset! Nicole is actually wearing one inside. To our future clients, say goodbye to Spanx. :)

And there you have it, my simple designs for this year’s Esquire ball. I hope you like them! :)

    the moment i saw the first picture of what you wore, the first thing that came into my mind was “THIS IS IT! THIS IS MY WEDDING GOWN.”

    ugh!!! if only it’s still available when the time comes.. i’m still 20 and too young to marry… still, one can hope, right?

    anyway, this is the first time i’ve read about you and your blog and i instantly got hooked even though our fashion sense is way too different… i love how not overdressed you always are… because sometimes, fashionista people, i tend to see them overdressed… but you have an air of simplicity in you even though some of your outfits are in no way simple…

    and again, that gown… i would really love to wear that in my wedding… crossed fingers here… :D

    keep up the good work… and i hope your fashion line would go international.. and i mean america’s next top model-harpers bazaar-vogue type of international… haha…

    bye.. xoxo

    I can’t stop looking back at this post, really!! Since I was a little kid, I have always dreamed of becoming a fashion designer someday, and you’re on my list of my favorite designers!! My only problem is that I’m not good in drawing. I sketch sometimes, but I always get frustrated afterwards cos the designs in my head don’t look the same as those on my drawings. Haha! Every night, I usually think of designs and I swear, I wish I could draw them like how I imagined them to be. :( Can I ask where you studied fashion design? SoFA? :)

    You’re the only blogger I adore (I always say this on twitter lol). But really!
    Love always, Rachael :)

    beautiful beautiful detail on your gown. I saw Nicole Anderson’s gown from some website and i thought she is one of the best dressed on that ball. Walang arte arte at burloloy, just a very well made gown. I thought the gown must be made by some big named designer and i was so surprised that you made it. It goes to show you would become one of those big named designer someday. Ang ganda lang ng ginawa mo. SImple, classic yet it speaks volumes on sexiness.

    Sweet mother of God… Your attention to detail is just mind boggling. That dress is classically sexy. Admittedly, as you’ve mentioned, events like these do tend to bring out the daringness (is that even a word) out of a lot of ladies and the common misconception is lotsa cleavage, lotsa booty and lotsa leg mean show stealing sexy. You just proved them wrong with that piece of yours. UH-MAZING~!

    I swear, whoever it is I end up tying the knot with, her gown has to be made by you.

    Holy cows!!
    Please excuse me while I try to pick my jaw up off the ground. That’s how insanely impressive your designs are Camille!

    I’m not sure if I’ve left a comment before on your blog. I’ve been following for a little while now and every time I see you upload a new post, I get a little bit overexcited. I immediately have to check out what you’re wearing/doing and I just want to shower you in love! Camille, you seem like such a nice (and super stylish and wonderfully awesome) person who would be really cool to be friends with :)
    I’ve always been a fan of yours but now that I know you design as well, you’re just a thousand times cooler in my eyes!

    That dress you’re wearing is absolutely out of this world crazy good!
    The beading is so intricate and delicate…I can’t believe you did all of that in ONLY 2 days! Everything is just so soft and delicate about the dress that I can definitely see it as a wedding dress. Hopefully some lucky girl gets to take it home and wear it on her special day :)
    Even though I’m very very very far from having a wedding, I would love to wear something that you designed someday! Something not princessy but still glamorous and fancy and beautiful and wonderful. Maybe skintight and backless, with super intricate beading and cool accents in different places? That would be insanely freaking awesome. But I most definitely won’t be thinking of a wedding for a very long time. By then (in like 50 billion years), you’ll probably be super duper famous and I’ll be able to say “Pshh, I heard of Camille way back before she was famous.” Heehee.

    Oooh and that dress on your friend Nicole is sooo sexy!
    The navy blue and modest cut are so elegant and classy while the little leather inserts spice things up! I bet the slits on the sides definitely made things even sassier.

    Your designs are wicked fantastic, Camille!
    I can’t wait to see more of them in the future :)
    Hope you’re having a wonderful week! <3

    Hi Camille! What a beautiful gown! You’re such a Goddess. My sister and I would always say that whatever you wear, it fits perfectly on you! I also love Nicole’s gown. Really sexy without exposing too much. :) BTW, I saw you last Thursday in Megamall! WOW! Star-strucked! Too bad, my shyness syndrome popped, and I could not approach you (and even take a picture for remembrance haha! :p) because I could see that you’re busy shopping. Haha! I also heard you speak and I was expecting an “ala-mataray/conyo/sosyalista tone but NO you got a cute and humbling voice. You’re a beautiful person inside and out, and that makes us love you and your blog more! :) Sayang, I just missed the chance to have a photo with you without the fan crowd (kagulo yun, dami ko kaagaw sa picture. Haha!) Now I’m wondering when and where I could see you again. :( Okay, I guess I’m saying too much, really happy and excited.

Then, nakita ko yung picture nyo together, and i told to myself – ‘i can’t wait to know more about Camille’s gown!’, ‘Ang tagal naman nya mag post’ – and all those stuff. Elegant lang talaga kasi ang dating mo, Cams!!! And worth it naman yung paghihintay ko. Pero, gusto ko talaga isuot yan sa ball!!!!!!!! :)

    Keep up the fabulous work! :)

    Hi Camille! I can be that bride! I’ve always loved your design aesthetics. When I get married, probably in a year or two, I would totally contact you. :)

    OMG Camille! You are REALLY good in your craft. I can see how passionate and dedicated you are as a fashion designer. ;) By the way, I’m just wondering if you’re coming to Bacolod for the Masskara festival! I bet it would be fun :D

    boobs sound better than tits so you just made the right choice. haha! You’re very much in the right path! Designing is for you! :D I agree, bridal gowns should no longer be the “traditional” ones. Dapat may drama na din ng singit-high slits at pulmonya-causing-backless gowns! Chos! haha! Para right after the ceremony, hindi na sa reception ang tuloy ng groom and bride…honeymoon na agad!

      Hahaha you never fail to make me laugh! I like that term: pulmonya-causing backless gowns! :) Honeymoon talaga!

    Too bad Kate Moss already tied the knot. Hehe. Nice beadwork though and the gown’s very conservative. :)

    Camille, you are amazing! I love that gown! And I really admire the fact that you are the one that designs them. Haha yes I do notice you didn’t post your blog on time because I am your fan and would never forget to check your blog before I proceed with something else :P I absolutely love the one you are wearing and maybe wear that on my wedding day? Haha, I think most brides wants their wedding to be more fairy tail like thats why it’s always the strapless big long train, or big skirts.

    P.s. you are such an inspiration and you make me cling on to this dream of mine to design my own dress. I heart you! Well, in a girly way of course haha:)

    Hi Camille! It’s quite obvious that the gown isn’t your size. It doesn’t accentuate your figure. :) Sayang naman. You should have altered it to fit you beautifully. The gown is very beautiful, nonetheless. You’re very talented.
