This time around I was honored again with a VIP ticket to go see my fave designer, Tipayaphong at Elle Fashion Week.

Tipa is all about fabrics. He would pick the ones with the most unique prints and textures, making his dresses look like they are alive.

But this time, that can only be said for the women's collection. Tipa ditched his expertise in men's stylish suits and went all out with...underwears.

Briefs, shorts, bikinis, most of the time, the male were  half naked, letting it all lose on the runway. When the show started off with a female model being chained to a chair who later tied up a male model and gently dragged him around on a leash, I knew the show would be different from the last collection's speakeasy vibe.

The show wasn't a let down. I found myself two dresses that I aim to save up for. But comparing it to the last show, it lacked that extra touch. Tipa kept things smooth and slow, with beach-sounding backing track that supported the model's extra slo-mo strut. I was a little disappointed as I was expecting to see a whole glamour show again, but I mean, how could you trump a tango show, a cabaret, and a catfight that the last show brought?
