Last Thursday was a jampacked day. I hosted the Freshgear Fashion Faceoff under the scorching hot sun at UST from morning until late afternoon, then went straight to Greenbelt 5 afterwards to host the launch of the Roland Mouret For Banana Republic collection.
You can just imagine how I must’ve looked by the time I reached my second event. (Hint: It starts with a “C” and rhymes with “frap”.) Good thing Banana Republic had a special Roland Mouret For Banana Republic dress ready for me. A quick outfit change to this gorgeous outfit and a low ponytail were just what I needed to make me look decent again. I guess it’s true what Roland Mouret said about his collaboration with Banana Republic, they’re a great fit because both of them have the same goal of making women feel and look beautiful in what they’re wearing. I certain felt that way. Heck, I felt like a million bucks in my dress!
For those of you who are not familiar with the brilliant Roland Mouret, he is a French fashion designer recognized for his use of draping and the fitted silhouette to enhance women’s best assets. In my opinion, this design aesthetic of his matches perfectly with Banana Republic’s easy and refined style. You can see this clearly on all of the pieces from the Roland Mouret for Banana Republic collection. I added a few photos from the launch so that you’ll see what I mean. All the pieces from this collection can be styled for both day (easy) and night (refined) because they’re simple, sophisticated and minimalist. Mouret also employed a lot of color blocking and an assortment of hourglass silhouettes while making use of Banana Republic’s special Sloan fabric to ensure an incredible fit. I’m sure the guests who attended the launch can attest to this. It was one of things everyone was raving about! Who would’ve thought that the tricky hourglass silhouette can look great on the many different shapes and sizes of women? I certainly didn’t! Don’t believe me? Then hurry on over to Banana Republic (Greenbelt 5, BGC, Shangri-la Mall) and see for yourself. Did I mention this special collection doesn’t break the bank too? The price range is somewhere between P2,000 something to P8,000 something, not bad for a special designer collection.

This doesn’t look like crap to me,actually its sophisticated!!! Grabe idol na din kita ate Cams when it comes to turning yourself presentable in just a click away,I remembered na galing kapa sa isang event sa UST and yet you managed yourself in changing your look to find pleasant and perfect for the second event(two events in one day). Another proud moment here! Mabuti nalang din nandyan ang Banana Republic to help you look good,the dress really fits on you and so with Lissa’s. This is an another exquisite work from a french designer,Roland Mouret is <3 XOXO
No one will look like crap in these dresses, that’s for sure! :) Thanks Elden!

Thanks Janella!
OMG, the dresses are so elegant! I want them all! :)
Love,
Ericka Garcia
They are! I wanted so many pieces for myself too!
Very nice dressed! :)
Thanks Jimmy!
I love how Roland Mouret focused on silhouettes rather than embellishments. It’s good that the designs are very minimal. Lissa’s and your dress really suited you both (were they made for you guys as in tinahi especially for you guys? I’m just amazed how they really looked good on you. Is it hereditary? Pass me some genes. Chos!). I think I already saw your post on Instagram regarding this, but would you mind telling me what your hair color is? I don’t know the appropriate word but I’ll just put it as “diplomatic”. :)
Thanks Charmaine! They fit so well that they felt like they were made for us! :) My hair color is diplomatic? Haha! I’m not so sure, I know it’s ash, really really dark ash. Because my hair color lightens so fast, my hair stylist dyed my hair so many shades darker to get this color.
you too are beautiful
Thank you Anne Marie!
classy as ever. <3
Thanks Keisha!
Hi ate camille. :)
Hi kirk! :)
Hello miss camille
You are my idol and i wish to become a person like you someday. I wanted to ask you a question. Actually i’m a 18 year old while i look so kiddish. My face doesn’t look mature at all. I get taunted alot. I’d be grateful if you give me some tips on how to dress to look mature.
Thank you. ^_^
Don’t you worry, you’ll have the upper hand next time LOL! I mean who doesn’t want a baby-faced cutie? :) Don’t try to dress too old. It doesn’t matter if your face looks young as long as you dress and act your age. Respect will follow :) For an 18 year old, you don’t have to dress too maturely yet. You can pretty much get away with so many styles! But if you want to be a bit more serious, go for slimmer silhouettes, less frills :)
love all the designs. :) super classy. ang ganda mo ate Cams, bagay na bagay sayo ang damit. :)
Thank you Maebs! :)
Wow! I really love the dress and you look so beautiful. Your shoes its perfect, just like what i’ve always wanted.
Thanks Satsuki!
I saw you at UST!!! I wanted to take a picture with you but I was so nervous. So, I ended up not having a picture with you. Nonetheless, I was so happy to see you in person. You’re so beautiful! :)
Awww sayang!
Wow, such an elegant outfit, love it!

You’re right. His color blocking combinations are amazing. Not to mention that these clothes are super sophisticated and elegant! You look absolutely stunning in that dress, did you get to keep it? Lol :D
Thanks Katrin! I didn’t get to keep it huhu
First of all, congratulations on your achievements! Second, I think that you look great in just about anything, but this dress fits you so good, it looks as if it were made for you! ^^
Yes! The dresses fit so well right? You noticed it too! That’s why I really love this collection :)
Sophisticated and minimalist, I like that! The two women beside you and Lissa are so tall, buti nalang you’re tall as well.
Yeah! They were the models we styled :)
You look so sophisticated Cams! Para kang yung sa mga teleserye. Presidente ng isang conglomerate or something. :) You’re stunning!

Hahaha! Pwede! :)
one word: beautiful
Yes the collection is really beautiful :)
Simple yet elegant. I love it. :)
Thanks Mary! I agree!
I love it when we are able to afford a designer’s aesthetic without paying a fortune! Mabuhay ang designer collaborations with high street brands!
Camille! When you are in LA, where do you shop for designer collabs ng H&M? When I was there kasi, not all branches have them eh :( Can’t wait for the release of Alexander Wang for H&M!
Mabuhay! :) I’ve never shopped for H&M collabs there. I waited once in HK :) Kakaloka!
It’s classic, it’s fresh, it’s refined and I love it!
