Cholo
Although I'm focused mainly on polish "raw tattoos" after seven years of hunting them the vice possessed me pretty much and when I see a case abroad I run for it equally. I meet this guy at the public car park near Lagunilla flea market in Mexico City. He just dropped there to use the bathroom. We talk a bit. All his tattoos are done in the US prison – 100% rough chicano stuff: cholo surrounded by jainas on the upper arm, jaina making love to a smoking gun on the belly. The clown on the chest stands for hiding the true feelings, the dragon means he's a killer. The pictogram symbolic changes so often that one never should be too much attached to it's interpretation – anyway impressive character. He showed his noble side to me during our brief moment of contact. I wouldn't like to see the dark one.

Santita fall/winter collection 2014 of cholo doll couture .october 25,2014
Santita means young saint.This is an idea that has been lurking in my mind ever since I started doing doll fashion, and it manifested in a couple of looks I did along the way. Giant halo like headpieces, embossed embroidery and opulent beadwork and then D&G released a collection that was based on Byzantine religious iconography and everything in between. My jaw dropped in amazement but that the same time, there goes the idea that I really wanted to do. But then again, I cant help but to do what I believe a must, and its close to my heart as a Filipino since I grew up with these details at vantage point. Santita is based on a Filipino's close attachment to his religion. As the only predominantly Catholic country in Asia, and with more than 3 centuries of Spanish rule, we were affixed to embrace the religion every step of the way. With it, every day, we get to see the religious images dressed up in gold embroidery, European style cathedrals, hammered metal halos encrusted with gems. Easily as an artist, you cant help but to be influenced by everything around.
I thought also, that this collection is best to do this season because coincidentally my local toy group, Pampanga Toy Collectors Club will be hosting its first large scale toy festival and exhibit, and as the curator for the doll exhibit area, I grabbed the moment as a chance to show my work in person to my folks here... in the best possible way.
Santita is all about shapes, prints and embellishments. I thought that in these three words I could ground the idea in one path and not all over the place. Looks that are symbolical but not replicas of religious robes, more of essence and feel than being literal and closing to blasphemous. It is divided into 3 capsules that starts with obvious heavy fabric, heavy draping and embroidery part then transitioning to printed chiffon and trying to sculpt and drape it to its fullest and then ending in classic familiar silhouettes, clean line but with opulent beading and textures. I also used antique lace that were so fragile and old, they're ripping apart, and so I treated them to hold their shape and finish them off in antique gold. The styling is topped of with headpieces that pose as halos but with a twist. Faces are covered simply because (drum roll please) I have no time to repaint anymore. Haha. Sorry about that.
Santita: Cho:lo Doll Couture Philippines F/W Collection Unveiling and Info
Santita, the collection was inspired by my roots as a catholic. Robes of icons at the cathedral dressed in embellished lame, gold embroidery, intricate hand crafted halos... all of this melded together with my take on doll couture, resulted into this collection. I divided the collection into three parts, Sculpture, Drape and Aura. Sculpture, the first three looks is all about putting dimension on fabrics, volume, edges, while evoking a feel of grace. Second is Drape. Drape is all about chiffon and how it moves around the body. I chose prints to have that lavish feel all over it and third is Aura which as it's meant, Gold, the metal of choice for opulence and royalty.
this is look number 10 finale gown from santita collection that i won from this collection bidding. this is real doll haute couture indeed.everythings is hand made,hand paint,hand embroidered more than 3000 rhinestones for this gown and more than 1000 beads and pearls hand embroided too.
and this collection made to show at the ToyFest Exhibit at SM Clark too between octorer 17 -19,2014.

Watch the video @ youtu.be/EfZaTeNUtbY
Two two beautiful women make Nepal's traditional Dhaka fabric in a workshop behind their house. The daughter is studying to be a teacher but still weaves in her spare time after class. The father originally bought the family's looms in India and then made the punch hole cards to generate the traditional patterns found in Dhaka cloth.
In many parts of central Nepal, women weave Dhaka fabric in their spare time. Traditionally it originates with the Limbu people of eastern Nepal, who don't used a punch-card loom, seen here. Now-a-days Dhaka fabric is used mainly for sewing "topi", the traditional Nepali men's hat. It used to be more commonly used also for making men's vests and women's blouses (a dhaka-ko-cholo).
