Model Behavior

From GRUNGE to GLAM

I was able to take a photo of Ericke after school before she ran to moonlight as a runway model 🙂 at Jaynny Lao’s first fashion show ever. She couldn’t refuse the pretty as a model Jaynny, fresh talent in the Ilocos fashion scene. Not accustomed to strut in high heels, more so strut the catwalk, Ericke managed to finish the show (Congrats!!) not tripping or falling on her ass — her worst nightmare.

On Ericke’s fashion savvy and flair, Tongue-in-Chic’s Tin Iglesias has this to say, “Ericke Tan of Surprisingly Kitsch is the perfect breed of young, modern Filipina. She is incredibly stylish and her ensembles always have an edge that makes her stand out from the crowd… Whether she hits a party or a beach, she always looks fabulous. Without a doubt, her blog has quickly become a lens through which to follow her fashion adventures.”
