The run-up to the coming Year of the
Wood Horse starts on December 7, 2013 with London-based international expert
Marites Allen to conduct her much-awaited Annual Feng Shui Updates in Manila. It
will be held at the Infinity Ballroom of the F1 Hotel Manila at BGC, Global
City.
The event is the largest gathering
of its kind in the Philippines that brings together Feng Shui enthusiasts from
all over the country and neighboring Asian cities to learn about forecasts for
the Chinese New Year and their impact on businesses, industries, and individual
lives. The Year of the Wooden Horse will
start on January 31, 2014.
The practice of Feng Shui, the
Chinese art of placement, goes back hundreds of years ago and has grown in
popularity not only in Asia but also in the Western world. Traditionally, it
deals with harmonizing directions and proper positioning of spaces to conform
to principles of auspiciousness. Basic to the practice is the influence of five
cosmic elements—Wood, Earth, Fire, Metal, and Water—to every human activity and
aspiration.
“Even to those who claim they don’t
believe in Feng Shui, its practical applications are all over us in this modern
world,” says Ms. Allen, citing the latest iPhone line from Apple Computers as
an example.
She notes that the five colors of
its mass-priced line reflect the five Feng Shui elements: Green (Wood), White (Metal),
Red (Fire), Yellow (Earth), and Blue (Water). “Even the choice of the Pantone
color of the Year follows Feng Shui directions,” she adds.
With the December 7 Feng Shui
Updates event in Manila, Ms. Allen will feature various ways of applying Feng Shui
principles to our daily living to attract positive energies. One of these is in
the field of auspicious fashion embodied in her own brand, Frigga.
Launched in London, Tokyo, and soon
in Manila this year, Frigga incorporates Feng Shui into its design to come up
with comfortable, luxurious, and eye-catching pieces that cater to wearers with
specific intentions.
“Every item carries a distinctive
fashion DNA, making Frigga the first of its kind in its league. It combines colors
and prints, which are symbolic of various Feng Shui elements that help attract
auspicious energies and enhance chances for better health, wealth, career,
relationships, among others. Call it fashion for a reason, or fashion with a
purpose that goes beyond just looking good,” says the Feng Shui expert now
turned Frigga ambassador.
Frigga is a registered European
brand in London. Its team is composed of an award-winning fabric designers from Europe’s fashion houses
and a pool of experienced creative and fashion designers to ensure a dynamic
flow of ideas. Every item produced in the production line conforms to Feng Shui
design principles. Ms. Allen herself
completed several courses at the University Of Arts London College Of Fashion,
including personal fashion styling.
Participants in the 2014 Annual Feng
Shui Updates will be treated to a fashion show featuring designs for the coming
New Year and a preview of Frigga’s Spring/Summer collection. The main portion
of the event will, of course, be the forecasts for business and individuals, as
well as suggestions to attract better opportunities in the Year of the Wood
Horse. Popular TV host, Boy Abunda, will again co-host the event with Ms.
Allen.
