Webmaster’s note: Last week, we brought you the first part of Cherry’s feature on the new stores at Rockwell’s Lifestyle Wing. Here’s the continuation of that story. Enjoy!

Ilaya-Intro.jpg

ILAYA COUTURE is the slightly higher-end line of the popular ILAYA brand (Metrowalk). Famous for their boleros, ILAYA and ILAYA COUTURE create tailored jackets, slacks, and shorts that have a young, modern edge. Owner/designer Tina also differentiates her third line, ROCCO (Crossings Department Store), which has a more masculine/feminine vibe. Too bad the pretty expectant mom was too shy to face the camera.

1. Who buys from you? Women from 20-30 yrs old. They come here to find things they can’t get elsewhere. They also buy from us because they know they have exclusivity– we only make a limited number of pieces per style.

2. Hot seller of the month/season? Our new, light jackets, about P1600. Eyelet tops, P980 up. And our short shorts, P750 up.

3. Complete the sentence: “We are so over…” I’d like to say “boleros” because we’ve been making them for so long, but it is still the most asked-for item in our stores. So I can’t really complete the sentence, because I will be coming out with more boleros.

    i love the ilaya couture shorts i bought last month. the style is so unique but “wearable”. so far, i haven’t seen anyone sporting a similar pair. now that’s promoting individuality :)

  15. maria Says:

    i love to shop at graxie!!! lifestyle section.. check it out

  16. marie Says:

    I love MAUD by Mitzi Quilendrino! They only have 1-2 pcs per size per style so the chances are slim you’ll bump into someone wearing the same thing, which i totally like. Team Manila has great shirts as well, and very affordable pa.

  17. caroline gothong Says:

    argh! so totally love ilaya! problem is im from cebu, why dont they sell online or better yet, sell their product in cebu?!

  18. fay destreza Says:

    i fell in love with Ilaya’s boleros the moment it was featured by Daphne Osena in F. Sadly, i still have to go there in makati all the way from Baguio just to buy their stuff. I so hope that they will eventually offer their goods online so i could have more of their stuff, moreso now that they already have capes; so suited for the climate here…

    I love Filipino designs! Lately, my obsession has been Filipino-designed/made clothes and bags and shoes. I live nearby Rockwell so I am a big fan of the Lifestyle section. Consistently fashionable, and classy are: Ilaya, Mimi, Sapato Manila, Cole Vintage and Details. I’m a big fan of Cole Vintage which can be found in Rob Galleria 5th Avenue, and at the Fort. I went to the recent Rockwell Bazaar and bought a Cole Vintage get up and Get Happy Imelda accessory to top the outfit. Love it! Worth noting also were the bangles that were sold there. I forgot the name of the designer but they had this Audrey Hepburn bangles which is really worth the collection of Audrey Hepburn finds. Outside was “Baka” stickers and pins which really were quite interesting. I wish I could catch them again in the next bazaar openings in town.

  21. Angelic Says:

  22. olive Says:
