A face of power, innovation, and recently, art, JunJun Ablaza has been called the \u201cPrince of Philippine Fashion Accessories\u201d. \u00a0In all of his typical cool-ness JunJun celebrated his birthday with an art installation, channeling his passion into a venture that further shows his ingenuity and creativity. \u00a0Entitled \u201cWearable Art\u201d, it was a cultural and social happening, held at the Ablaza Hall of the National Museum Art Gallery.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Boa of Feathers ribbon cutting was led by fashion designer Ben Farrales and Consul Helen Ong. Welcoming the guests, Master of Ceremonies and good friend, Michele Sison said: \u201cJunJun\u2019s collection was inspired from a myth.\u201d, and Gio Sison-Quintos read the legendary story of Kings, Princes, Spirits and Witches. JunJun has successfully depicted the princely with the primitive; the wild with the tamed; the primal with the refined. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Invitees joined the Ablaza family for a toast and a \u2018Happy Birthday\u2019 song, led by his parents, Honorary Consul of Guatemala in Manila, Mellie Ablaza and Honorary Consul of Zambia in the Philippines, Louie Ablaza, together with his siblings Vice-Consul Marc Ablaza and Czarina Syquia. <\/strong><\/p>\n

These were adornments with a deeper meaning, and it was an invitation to the vivid world of his prized possessions and collection of natural stones, corals, ivory, glass beads and Chevron.\u00a0 Included were clever combination of feathers, fur, reptile skin, equine tail and tortoise shells, and standard precious metals.\u00a0 JunJun Ablaza\u2019s bold designs radiate an aura of \u201csomething positive,\u201d which makes one appreciate the beauty of nature, and in the process, conserve our environment. <\/strong><\/p>\n
