Fashion Watch: Jerome Lorico

Young Filipino designer Jerome Lorico once again surprises his audience as he recently unfolded his Fashion Watch Spring-Summer 2012 collection at the Lobby Lounge of the Shangrila Makati. Inspired from the classic tale “The Old Man and the Sea” by Ernest Hemingway, the predominately gray themed forecast fashioned androgyny in chic urban form.  Taking form from the last published work from the Nobel Prize in Literature, each creation depicts a narrative of style deeply rooted from the designer's aesthetics. The story comes to life in modern knits and wool seamlessly creating tailored and layered look for the season to come. There is a hint of modern sportswear throughout the impressive collection echoing a modern urban statement quite relevant to the times. Progressive, forward and fashionable, gray matters in style-fitting pieces that tells a story accentuated by bone-like accessories from OZ.  Summer fashion is not so stereotypical with the ingenious and brilliant point of view of designer Jerome Lorico.
