Just for KYCS

I have been getting a lot of short-notice gigs these days in makeup, styling and set design department. I'm not complaining! I actually love to keep 'em coming while waiting for something.

Recently, I worked with KYCS, a swimwear, beachwear and casual sportswear line owned and designed by the lovely couple Sarah and Che Katigbak. I did makeup and a bit of styling for their segment at Unang Hirit that went live last March 21st, then we all went straight for a photoshoot right after. It was a long day for me too. Haven't slept the night before due to late night band practice; killed time with my bandmate before heading to High Street at 3:30AM where Che and Sarah picked me up for the live morning show at Splash Island.

KYCS, pronounced as kicks, stands for Kasuotang Yari ni Che at Sarah (Garment made by Che and Sarah). Cool, huh? :)

They started out back in November 1994 focusing on casual sportswear until they developed its line and now concentrates on swimwear and beachwear. What I love most about this line is that they have designs that are very practical, innovative and at the same time fashionable. I even have their best-selling "Top 10" bikini in black. You can definitely wear it in so many different ways. And the best of it all, you can have your swimwear customized!
