WITH five collections from street wears to ball gowns that glitter, you might find yourself a little confused whether you are seated for a birthday party or a flamboyant fashion show post-summer.
Truth be told, it is a runway birthday show, a bold take to celebrate life as tween Kiara Denisse Suarez recently turned 17 in Bacolod City.
With guests pulling off a great ensemble of fashion-forward numbers, a group of young models paraded with class and sophistication from their denim and street wear, floral to evening gowns.
From our table, we have realized how parties have transformed to be set apart, if not, top the list of local lifestyle events today.
Kiara is the only girl of businessmen Jinky and Arnel Suarez. Despite being surrounded with two brothers, she has blossomed into a beautiful girl- talented, well-mannered and well-traveled.
With a passion to see the many corners of the world, she thinks of traveling as "a great deal to see the wonders of life with your family and friends."
With this, the foyer leading to the main ballrooms of L'Fisher has been adorned with larger than life photos of Kiara, featuring some of Europe's perfect postcard backgrounds from her recent travel abroad.
The theme was present even in the most minute details: gram worthy shots in a photo spread invite, cookies laminated with pictures, a close to 10-meter desserts table that served as the night's sweetest attraction.
Kiara's dedication for fashion at a young age can be seen as she sashayed the runway with excitement and enthusiasm. Just like in fashion shows, local designer Richard Posa pulled off an elegant gown masterpiece for Kiara in her finale walk.
With a party as grand as this one, I could not wait to see how next year big reveal, as she turns 18, will be pulls off!
