Cecile Van Straten for Viktor Jeans

Cecile Van Straten for Viktor Jeans

We went to Viktor Jeans at Podium mall after our hearty lunch at Terry's Bistro.. My friend is collaborating with Ino Caluza (designer of Viktor Jeans), purveyor of premium, custom-made jeans in the Philippines. Ino is known for his famous skinny jeans favoured by local celebrities and socialites alike so this collaboration (oh no they didn't!!) is definitely good! Here's the prototype of the jeans they made. Ino and Cecile asked me to try the jeans and we were all shocked that I was able to wear them considering the fit model they used had a body of an 11-year old child!

My friend rolled the bottom cuffs a little, just a tad, too high though.

I really love it! The polka dots are so Comme, no? BTW, wtf happened to my eyes LOL.

I thought the dots were printed/silk-screened but they're actually woven into the fabric.

Alas, pants like these look best on people who are at least 6 foot tall but whatevs. Pair them off with a white, gray or black top and a nice little cropped jacket... chic! I think they're very, very cool.

What do you think? Cecile and Ino gave me the prototype. So generous of them two. Thank you!

Viktor Jeans can be found at Podium Mall in Ortigas.

Do you think this is true?
