Q+A: Tracy Dizon (PH)
Today’s exclusive interview is with fashion designer and stylist, Tracy Dizon. From a young age, she has had an appreciation for fashion and quality clothing. She has translated that appreciation along with her creativity into hip clothing designs. Her clothes, much like the artist herself, are equal parts punk rock power and fairy-tale girliness. She takes her ability to mix and match colours and prints to a whole new level. See what Tracy had to say about her new collection, her inspirations, and her Project Runway Philippines experience.
Q&A: Justine from Vintage Socialites
Ever since fashion enthusiasts have demanded to put a stop to the wrong usage of the word "vintage", suddenly we got to see how very few 'real' vintage shops there are around. One of those remaining few is The Vintage Socialite. We caught up with Justine Teh who sources and runs the blog shop and what a nice surprise it was for us when we found out she organised a shoot just for us!
Q+A: Gelo Arucan (PH)
20-year-old Multimedia Arts student Gelo Arucan is undeniably not afraid to push the boundaries and go for some amazement value. This self-confessed eyewear addict delights in style and color, and he turns his outfits into sublime endeavors that are wearable and totally his own. He has a cool attitude and isn’t afraid to go after what he wants - all the while looking absolutely fierce! As Gelo shows time and time again, one need not break the bank to create a memorable impact amongst people.
Q+A: Guillaume Hamilton (FR)
I recently managed to have a quick chat with French blogger Guillaume Hamilton. Guillaume is a 22 year old fashion aficionada that goes by the name Mr.Botox and runs the fashion website Culture-mode. If you like styles that are quirky, infused with a little bit of the old and the new and very original - Guillaume customises all his outfits, then do check out his blog and lookbook. Here's a sneak into just a small portion of the youth culture in La Paris!
Q+A: Kookie Buhain (PH)
Kookie Buhain a.k.a deathbyplatforms is one of my favorite Chictopians because she demonstrates style know-hows and that anyone can look like a model-off-duty, even on a budget. She makes the fashion world swoon over her clean-cut lines, monochrome chic and artistic flair. Her tendency to tie up tailored menswear items with femine body-con dresses and accessories show an innate and impressive understanding of fashion. Surely, this Chictopia style icon has successfully found a platform for expressing her personal style. Take a look at what this stylista had to say.
Q+A: Martine Cajucom (US)
Meet Martine Cajucom, the Filipina beauty behind the blog I Love Martine. With her madcap style and picture-perfect features, it's easy to fall head over heels for Martine’s blog. Her style is refined, but by no means predictable. She has an eye for making H&M and Topshop finds look like a million bucks and flawlessly includes high-end designer pieces into her daily wardrobe - a true feat for any fashionista. Furthermore, she is proof that fashion is not a shallow matter; behind her experimental style, she has a sweet and sanguine hub that is just as compelling as her aesthetics.

Q+A: Dennis Robles (PH)
Dennis Robles definitely is someone to standout in a crowd. With his edgy, yet experimental urban style, it’s impossible not to notice him. Hailing from the Philippines, this too-cool for words bag genie and shoe addict has quickly become one of the most followed individuals on Lookbook.nu for fashionistas. He has this otherworldly elegance that’s quite luxurious. He certainly is not afraid of breaking the fashion rules and has a way of mixing prints and colors, whilst still looking unique and stylish. He was kind enough to grant TiC an interview, giving us more insight on his fashion preferences. Read on to learn more about him!
Q+A: Lissa Kahayon (PH)
I do not like to unveil it, but occasionally I am so rapt by someone’s style that I can’t help but ogle. Chictopian Lissa Kahayon, would most likely bring me to a halt! Lissa is an expert of versatility. She can look like a rockstar in leather jacket or don a sweet, coquettish dress. From Manila, Philippines, this tremendously stylish Love Vintage store owner absolutely has a vivacious spirit that shines no matter what she wears. Read on to learn more about her!
Q+A: Karl Leuterio (PH)
Chictopian Karl Leuterio has caught my attention over the past year with his personal passion for fashion. Karl finds style inspiration from the fashion blogosphere, and is certainly giving back some inspiration of his own with his innovative and exceptional style. I like how he makes high fashion trends more achievable by assimilating bargain finds and DIY pieces into his ensembles.
