Day two of Philippine Fashion week at the SMX Convention Center last Wednesday targeted the reinvention of waist belts from flashy buckles to strikingly simple ones that are flattering for any body type.
Philippine fashion is opening doors for the comeback of the fad-seasons-ago waist belts to soft and metallic hard belts either automatically stitched to your outfit or as an added accessory.
From ready-to-wear to extravagant fashion, waist belts played its part well for this year’s Holiday 2012 collection.
According to onceuponabelt.com, the cinch belts, now known as waist belts, were first used by the east European and Russian armies during the latter part of the 19th century.
Also a few years back, the waist belt became a fashion “it” accessory as most women were seen wearing thick colorfully buckled waist belts or the flashy waist belts to parties, to school, to work, and to just simply everywhere.
Compared to the new belts unveiled last Wednesday, though, the flashy buckled waist belts of a few years back felt like ages ago.
Arnold Galang’s covered cobalt blue head-to-toe mix of prints pushed the ante up by having a metal waist belt to show the woman’s body.
Designer Ronaldo Arnaldo presented a collection of black and gray tones. The metallic belts are placed on the mid-waist and are sewn on the skirt. They looked effortless and elegant.
As for ready-to-wear, the SM Ladies’ collection stepped it up by creating belts that can be worn everywhere. From summer dresses, casual wear, corporate and to evening night outs, this commercial brand showed how belts should be worn this 2012.
