Daphne designs for Eclipse





Serena-pet was the emcee for Eclipse


This is taken during the recent M-IFW '09. Yes. I have embarked into fashion...yes ME!
Eclipse by Daphne Iking collection is available in all Eclipse stores and I opened the fashion show for this year's M-IFW for Sonny San... and boy did I have fun!
(Okay..fine. I was nervous like hell backstage..but thank God for good friends and my (darling) blackberry )

After the show, I was told by Sonny that my collection had sold out.

Seeing my designs paraded by the beautiful models and THEN getting news that my collection had sold out just brought tears to my eyes.

After all the shit I have been going through over the past few months, and then getting ill with dengue - this had to be the BEST news I had heard in a long, long time.

The only bummer was, I didn't have anyone to share the good news with. All I wanted was a hug and perhaps a glass of Cristal.

So, after dinner with Sonny and the team - I drove alone to get myself a glass of red wine. Downed it with some bread and butter pudding and enjoyed the serenity of the night.

I am okay drinking and eating alone. But just for that night, I wished I had that special person to hold me still. To let me gloat and grin.

Sigh.

I didn't give a hoot. I drank the whole bottle before giving in to friends who wanted to congratulate me personally.

So yes. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity and the blessings.

And I will continue to be grateful.

Thank you Lord.



Xandria and I closing the show. Xandria also designed.

A first for both and many more to come?
What do you think?
