The greatest (fashion) show on Earth

MANILA, Philippines – Don’t you just sometimes wish you could run away with the circus? 

Come alive with color in dramatic proportions when putting together fun, sensational outfits from delicate sorbet tones to intense, bejeweled color blocks. 

Even makeup is not used sparingly; instead, it gets theatrical and magical. Ever a fan of Cirque du Soleil and theater, makeup artist Cathy Cantada-Dizon says, “I’ve always loved how makeup can transform someone into a totally different character, and this shoot gives us the freedom to transform these beautiful models into real-life dolls.

“I had fun using a bright color palette, mixing it with a little bit of face painting.”

Pinoy fashion, vintage style: Maximum impact

Life’s a circus, live it up! 

These fashion spreads appeared in BusinessWorld High Life Magazine’s April-May 2013 issue. To see the rest of the fashion spreads, visit web site www.highlife.com.ph.
