rafe totengco: philippines' pride
i admire rafe's designs and uniqueness. i really love his handbags, small leather goods and shoes. his styles are edgy but elegant, club-worthy but classic. his styles are always coveted by celebs such as: eva longoria, jessica alba, sandra oh, carolyn murphy, vanessa minnillo, fergie, giselle bundchen, adriana lima, paris hilton, mischa barton, kristin davis and much more. he is a true blooded filipino who moved to new york to fulfill his dreams and eversince that, he became one of the most acclaimed designers of our generation. he was recognized as a designer and also awarded as one. his awards includes:
Finalist for CFDA, Perry Ellis Accessory Design Award, in 1999
Rising Star Award,
Fashion Group International in 2000
and also as Best Accessories Designer
Accessories Council in 2001
rafe also teamed up with TARGET along with other designers. his designs as soon as it hits the stores, it was all out of stock! i was a fan of his target line too and soon will branch out to his mainline designs. i like it that his bags are not pedestrian but it is very chic and stylish. i love how his accessories are so versatile from work to weekend, to simple jeans and shirt ensemble, to clubwear then to evening wear. his bags are sophisticated and very current with the latest trends. he is creative with his work and what i like about it is that he has his own sense of style and he wants to deliver individuality with his bags and accessories. i sure know that rafe will make more waves and will remain as one of the best in the industry for he is talented and passionate with designing.
