PFD the designers, the place and a pilón.

Hi! Here I am once again, keeping up with the PFD topic... well, the first day was all about new talents and the PFD project; the next day there were more catwalks, but there were two more important that were Malafacha and Sergio Alcala.

In the first edition of the PFD I saw the Sergio Alcala collection, it was very kitsch and colorful but it was not my style at all; and even thought this time it was a new collection it was very like the past one (in fact there were a few outfits that were exactly the same). Maybe it was because this saturday he will be presenting at the Fashion Week México.
Sergio Alcala







And Malafacha, it was a great surprise for me, their collection was divided in two parts, the first parts was in white and red colors with black touches, and the second part (my favorite) was pretty gothic but not so literally.

This was my favorite t-shirt!





Now, a lot has been said about the place where the event took place, the ex-factory La Constancia Mexicana, but if you want to make a fashion event here in Puebla, La Constancia Mexicana is the more iconic place to do it, (because of the story about how the ships with the machinery sinked several times before they arrived here, and it was because of this factory that Puebla became a textile state). And also I felt that the ancientry of the place melted really well with the runway and the whole context of a fashion event.




My boyfriend is the one on the right xD

PFD the beginning...

At last! and finally, here I am with lots of pics from the PFD, I wanted to put some advances but it was imposible, literally! (in fact i couldn't even sleep saturday and sunday because I had to finish another dress for a fashion contest) well the first day, we gave the finishing touches on the collection and delivered it on the ex-factory La Constancia Mexicana, I was a little bit nervous because we never had the time to put all the clothes together and check if everything worked as I expected it to.
But! seeing everything in the models It was great! the colors, shapes and everything worked according to the line.
The collection was inspired by the "extraordinary" trend, which is based in the 50's tea sets, kniting, and all things from home and we took also the "new look" of Dior to crown the trend.

We worked with a socks factory, so it was dificult to sew (its like cardigan but thicker) but, the great thing was that they made all the graphics that we designed, so the colors and fabrics were exactly like we wanted.
Our collection is called Killing me softly
So here it is!.










Its only missing one pink dress, but tomorrow i will post it.


Thanks to my boyfriend for the pics.


And theres a lot of material, so stay online for more PFD reviews.
