Profile Information

Where do you live? Please list country or state, not your planet.: Dubai

Do you work in the fashion industry?: I would like to work in fashion

About Me ...: Who am I?

I was born in Manila, grew up in Chicago, and now live in Dubai. But ask me where home is, and I’ll tell you, “the world.”

Indeed, I've been fortunate to have traveled throughout the US, Europe, Middle East, and Asia.

I love to connect with friends ... challenge the mind ... touch the heart ... and push the body.

What do I do?

I am an entrepreneur, and I am creating conglomerates that will ‘house’ my projects ... from business, to art and the internet. I am also a philanthropist. Doing good for people is the purpose of my efforts. I succeed ONLY when I do good. Altogether these projects promise to be ground-breaking and lucrative ... for investors, partners and clients alike!

I don't have any designs on launching my own fashion design company (hehe). Rather, my angle to this sector is to draw on art to showcase fashion in a cool, different, more dramatic way. One piece of my 'manifesto' is that art is cross-art in nature and therefore requires a multimedia expression. So my angle is about tapping a wide range of art genre (e.g., short film, dramatic staging, painting-poetry) and leveraging the best of both traditional and new media.

Curious? Please don't hesitate to ask me :)

What else?

I have a PhD in psychology from Northwestern University in Chicago. I parlayed this into management consulting, and I’ve had the privilege of consulting for major multinationals in the US, Middle East and Europe. Don't worry I don't psychoanalyze people anymore (lol).

Fashion Industry Experience: Aficionado, learner, artist in the fashion industry ...

Thanks for the compliment on my name. I was actually named after my mother's favorite color, and I love the uniqueness of it.

Yeah maybe next year, I'm still a little hurt by the loss to the Jets.

As far as my updates, I try to keep them a reflection of who I am, and what I'm feeling in the moment. Like Twitter, they're always a hit and miss, but I don't care much because I'm a real person expressing who I am.

Great to have u on board. I enjoyed reading the about u section on your page. Put a smile on ma face.

We r definitely not in the business to loose. Its easier for us to give up when the going gets tough and we do not get what we want or realise that success is not handed to us on a plate (so wish it was tho LOL)

I have been through all that as a teenager and am glad i have come this far to realise that winning is everything and its nice to find people like u on the network who can also motivate and inspire our younger and up and coming ones that its not all about the glamour and the riches but most importantly the hard work u put into tryna get what u want or where u wanna be at.

Am glad we in touch.

Great to network with u and brace yourself because u will be getting truck barrel loads of questions flung your way from me. I ask a lot of questions because thats also how i can get to learn about the industry.

So, welcome to my fashion world of art, clothes, photography and just Me

Everything is great. Waiting for the new season and collection to come out. How is Dubai?

Yes I aslo believe new innovation comes from creative minds from several different industries and backgrounds. Collaboration is key to those who seek new platforms or mediums to showcase talent.

I believe that the art and film industries are now playing a huge role in fashion In the way of integration. Combining fashion, film and art.

I think we are going to continue to see new innovative ways of the fashion being perceived and displayed in this manner. I hope that we can also keep in touch as we can update one another on trends, news or anything else that is vital or taking place in our perspective parts of the globe.

Also wishing you a great New year and many blessings for 2011

The economy in the US is not great at the moment. However it is picking up somewhat especially the last term of the year. largely due to great retail therapy. Consumers seemed to be feeling the holiday season!

I am looking into more avenues in distribution for several markets. Old and new. I am always excited to learn about new designers, and what markets will fit those demographics to be successful. If you have any questions about the west coast let me know. I would be more then happy to fill you in on anything.

Best,

Antoinette
