David Tupaz:
The David Tupaz exhibit and show took place at the home of Philipino heritage in New York (NY)-the Philippine Consulate. This marked the first time Tupaz had a showing in the New York area in many years, as he had relocated to Las Vegas and developed a tremendous following there. Tupaz is very well known for turning out very ornate and sumptuous gowns and finery, and his NY unveiling did not disappoint or veer from his famous craftsmanship.
The exhibit actually began in the lobby of the Philippine Consulate where a speech was given by the administrators of the Consulate in appreciation of the hard work Tupaz has done and the respect and reference Tupaz has honored in terms of bringing awareness to the world about the traditions and beauty that is the Philippine culture. The large lobby area was full of those who had come from all communities and areas to admire Tupaz' work and dedication to fashion. Costumes that Tupaz had designed also flanked the lobby and the audience was given a sneak peek into the fabulous world of Tupaz fashion. The floor length gowns with hand beading and rich sumptuous fabrics and excellent tailoring illustrated just how talented Tupaz is, as well as highlighting his fine sense of detail. Legendary singer Tata Kay Habana kicked off the festivities with a melodic song. Then guests were invited upstairs for the unveiling of the much anticipated showcase.
The collection featured black and white ensembles for both men's and women's fashion. Models strutted down the runway in sky high platform heels and hair styles ranging from intricate updos to simplistic crops; further illustrating Tupaz' love and appreciation for diversity and beauty of all forms and colors.
Sheer fabrics and luxe linen were the order of the day. As well as the long lavish veils that Tupaz is known for. Proving that women can still wear a veil and it most certainly does not have to just be worn at weddings! On the contrary, the models displayed just how much a veil can be the unexpected yet grand finishing touch to any outfit. Especially a LWD like the one one model wore on the runway. The show was a spectacle of contrasts as the audience took in the black and white highly tailored suit jackets and pleated slacks.
One thing is for sure: Tupaz brought a big piece of 
showmanship and glamour back to New York Fashion Week!
