Last July 17, 2010 in Robinland Bldg., Margarita’s Family Cuisine, I witnessed Cebu’s 1st ever war fashion show. This event views war in a fashionable way pretty much different from a typical fashion show. This event was made possible by CIRAS PRODUCTION in cooperation with MOUNTAINEERING ALLIANCE to help the children schooling in Brgy. Magsaysay in Mt. Manunggal Balamban, of the CMA’s Akyat Aklat Program.
Models from this event were airsoft players. Mr. Kenneth Villaflor, model and organizer of the event shared,”We’ve been playing airsoft all the time yet there are some who just wish to watch rather than play while on their gears“. These players is what they call as the impressionists or the re enactors. “So I thought, why not putting it into good use and organize an event such as this“, Villaflor adds.
Before the main event started, a sumptuous dinner buffet was served first. Not to mention the event venue was particularly in the rooftop of the building. You can see the amazing night view of the city. The city lights were pretty much enchanting and the air was so cool, just perfect for the event. When all was finally set, the fashion show then started. Photographers particularly the media also ready with their gears. I was really amazed of the way they look. They were pretty like real soldiers gone to war. Here are some of the photos I took during the event.
Who says war is only for men and adults? Well guess again. Women and children are NOT exempted. 
Of course, they didn’t leave the audience hanging. They gave mugs as souvenirs and a free photo booth for everyone to enjoy. You can check out the photos here. Congratulations for the successful event!
