On the morning of October 15th, I was invited to bear witness to the Rurungan sa Tubod Foundation's model photo shoot, where they were preparing PR material to market their fine pina textiles to the world of Manila fashion. Rambie, Czarina Lim's daughter, and the head of Rurungan business in Manila came down with several colleagues to take part in the event. A Japanese/American photographer friend of Ernie Lim did the work, while an attractive colleague of Rambie's was good enough to don the beautiful gowns, and pose elegantly between the trunks of Acacia, and shoots of bamboo. At one point she was even coaxed up into a tree for some worm's eye view shots.
A second model showcased a few other pieces, while the first model took up her own camera (her real profession) and took most of the shots this time around. The girls looked lovely in the natural setting and the garments were of the highest quality. You would never believe they come from pineapples.The only thing to ruin the beautiful day were the hordes of ants which lunched on our ankles, but our own lunch of fresh crabs and seaweed afterwards, made everything O.K. in the end.
