The Shang , Mall , newly renovated EAST WING, staged the luxury global brands last hurry for the year 2015. It is by holding an stylish fashion show ,inspired by a jet setter , modern nomadic  "stylist" for todays' generation. 

Addictive with extra mileage  for the flight points for giving in to extra miles of travels , jet setter in today's ano-domini year of the Lord , are keen not just of styles but of origin of their clothes , starting with the raw materials of textiles ,how it is bleached ,dyed and coloured. Wither the textiles are from the wild silk worm or from the cultured silk worm farms . Much more so, if the maple tree is grown organically  by a responsible sustainable farming from the Myanmar or China , the main source of the silk worm that wave the organic silk , necessary to create a silk textiles. 

Hence,today's fashionista  are all aware the importance of the climatic change and its imposition to the global agenda of depleting the ozone layer. For which the main reason of staging the  "COP21", to be held this coming November 30 to December 3, 2015 in Paris. The very capital of the Fashion since time immemorial.

In the Philippines , the Barong and Baro't Saya,( not the corrupted  "Terno")  known to be the Philippine National Custom. An integral part for today's  global gathering of  leaders for Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. Discussing under the consign theme " Inclusive Economic Growth". The APEC is designed for each countries to have a benchmark of FTA ( Foreign Trade Agreement), for each nation to behave ethically in doing business. 

Barong the long sleeve shirt made for the Filipino altruistic ego is made from the corrugated leaves of the Philippines world known "pine apple". Its silhouette  ,fresh , gentle and virginal coloured makes it fitting for the tropical climate that the Philippines is experiencing. Even on the humid summery season or in temperate Christmas climate like today the Barong is good enough to wear.

Hence, Baro't Saya  which in the manner of constant evolution, accordingly with nation historical narrative, grown up to be  called  now the " TERNO".

 Essentially the terms it self Baro means the upper clothe to be worn by woman, and the "saya", means the skirts , the lower tapestry that is to be worn with dignity accorded to the ideal Filipina, that is " Mayumi , Marilag and , Kaiga -igaya".

In today's context , in name calling " TERNO", which the recent  coffee table endorses to be the modern encyclopaedia of the " The Filipino Fashionable Wear", as collaborated with the Fashion Icon in the Philippines such as Ben Chan, Mr. Slims, and Mr. Gonzalez, to alternate , exchange or even over shadowed " Baro't Saya into Terno" is an epic historical malversation.

Bringing back with the Shang Mall, Wanderlust Glam, fashion show. The actual staging of any  fashion show for me is an ethereal celebration of sight, feeling, sounds even perception of smelling. No matter how extravagant the show if all these elements are not given extensive details of re assembling , for each elements to align, compliment each other , the fashion show will not be  as sensible as it will be. 

Like engrossing to profound reading of the novels, or watching an epic theatrical musicality or movie Fashion Show , deeply examining an arts works , fashion show is a showmanship of culture and artistry.

Fashion collections is a canvass of coloured ,visually stitch ( re arranged ) and wear either in monotone or layering . Together with the models who provide the feeling , and emotions to the collection , the fashion breath its own life with the help of the abled MODELS.

In conclusion , the Shang Mall recent  , " wanderlust glam", for me shows an epic of extra vacant dis proportion when the sounds , perhaps technical crew provided the finally show of the Mark and Spencer with a back ground music of " MACARONI".

In my own opinion the British brand like Mark and Spencer , given with its Britishness of origin ,could be perfectly executed with a pure British sound ( Music) ,like example with the musicality of Sam Smith ( the modern background of Spectre) , or perhaps the Adele own version of the hybrid pop-operatic style of delivering  aria.
