Most
artists have a difficulty in getting their craft recognized mainly for one
reason – not all people appreciate their art.
But
for fashion designer Catherine Cavilte, getting people to welcome her style
aesthetics was never an issue.
In
2007, she was hailed as one of the "12 Young Designers to Watch Out
For" by a leading fashion bible for Filipino stylistas. To date, several of her remarkable
collections have graced runways at the Philippine Fashion Week and have been
worn by top celebrities in the country.
Ipanema Apliques II
This
year, she is the youngest designer to be chosen to collaborate with Brazilian
flip-flop brand Ipanema for the Resort Wear Spring Summer Collection 2012. Cavilte created looks inspired by two Ipanema
flip-flops.
Ipanema Classica Envolvente
Ipanema
assigned the Ipanema Appliqués Ad II, a flip-flop pair with a romantic and
delicate design that in infused with animal and heart-shaped prints; and the
Ipanema Classica Evolvente, a colorful pair of flip-flops that features
psychedelic floral patterns and metal logos on the straps.

She
said her designs for Ipanema's Resort Wear Collections complement spring/summer
elegance that features earthy tones and animal prints mounted on plain silk
satins. She said the Ipanema Appliqués
Ad II and Ipanema Classica Envolvente can be easily paired with her flowy
dresses that ladies can wear casually on the beach or at dinner parties.

"All
my designs are practically in between wearable and couture. This collection differs with the prints and
materials I normally use," Cavilte said.
A
firm flip-flop believer, this young designer said these fun and comfortable
footwear have moved from being house slippers to fashion staples.
