Some people have no shame (we're not talking about you Bryanboy), Imelda Marco's daughter may be one of them...............
How's this for a fit: a shoe line by Imelda Marcos
MANILA — Surrounded by paintings by Picasso and Gauguin, an impeccably
coiffed Imelda Marcos perched regally on the Louis XIV couch in her
high-rise flat, discussing her topics of expertise: beauty, fashion and
— of course — shoes.
"For me, beauty has always been a religion. Plato said beauty is God made real," said the former Philippine first lady, wearing a green chiffon pantsuit and matching lime sandals. "I'm a magpie for beauty. But what God doesn't give, you have to make yourself."
The 77-year-old widow of deposed dictator Ferdinand Marcos is still viewed as an icon of class and grace as well as a mindless shoe maven who amassed thousands of pairs of pumps and stilettos while her nation languished in poverty.
But there's a lesser-known side of the flamboyant fashion-plate: An haute-couture scavenger who spent nights fashioning outfits with a glue gun and scissors, even stripping the copper wire from telephone lines to get just the right look.
The Marcoses are now poised to capitalize on that fashion-meets-function image. Next month, Imelda's daughter Imee Marcos and Imee's two sons will introduce the Imelda Collection: a funky, streetwise line of jewelry, clothing and shoes. They hope the fashion line will attract a younger generation not yet born when Imelda Marcos trod the world stage (continued...)
