Fitting; Michael Cinco
If you are an avid follower of America's Next Top Model, then perhaps you're familiar with this...
This photo, taken by Nigel Barker, is a photo of Molly, finalist of ANTM cycle 16, in a Michael Cinco satin cape-coat. He (Michael Cinco) used this piece for his teaser video for the Red Cross Ball. That cape is 3-4 meters of materials. Guess who had to dry-steam that piece for the shoot??? That's THE Reluctant Stylista, Alex Lapa, (KC Conception's stylist under Noel Manapat) and John Chan, former student of Asian Institute of Fashion's Designer Fashion Workshop. I helped a bit with the steaming. Ha ha ha!!!
Noel Manapat once again asked us to help style for the Red Cross Ball, this time featuring Dubai based designer Michael Cinco. Bored stylists The video guys and our model... Just kidding!!! :D
