imeldific

Imeldific is the term coined by Philipinos to describe Imelda Marcos' style of ostentation, long before bling became household terminology. On the 18th November, Imelda launches her own range of jewellery, The Imelda Collection, cobbled together from flea market finds and 'vintage gems'. The Metro draws a link between her new found creativity and the confiscation of her tiaras, rubies and emeralds by the Philippines government since her husband was ejected from the army in 1986. Mrs Marcos returned from exile in Hawaii in 1991 and has since run for president.
