PHILIPPINE FASHION’S NEWEST BLOOD OF
ASPIRING TOP DESIGNERS
Profiling the 18 fashion hopefuls the industry should lookout for
As
the challenges in MEGA’s Young Designers Competition 2012 begin, let’s take a
look on each of the designers will battle for their mark in the industry.
Nikita Agatha boasts of being able to do anything from scratch.
She picked up her flair for fashion from her grandmother and mom who loved
dressing her up when she was little. She considers Sari Yap, editor in chief of
MEGA Magazine, as the judge to please, urging Nikita to carefully think of her
designs. She cites Alexander McQueen as her idol for his out of this world
construction of outfits that women can wear.
Dino Bancoro recently started as a fashion designer sharing that
the pieces he presented during the audition were his first ever creations.
Through YDC, he hopes to learn more on pattern making and sewing since he has
yet to formally study fashion design. He admits that he still needs polishing
but is proud to say that he has the vision and creativity that would amaze
people.
Mara Chua has a motto that anything and everything can be
inspiring. He believes that to be successful, talent is not enough. He
sharpened his technical skills in pattern making and learned sewing through a
seamstress who made his clothes. He cites Rei Kawakubo and Bjork as
inspirations that allowed him to expand his horizons and stretch his aesthetic.
Ched Dalogaog is a
fashion instructor at one of the top fashion schools in Manila. He tells a
story with his creations, incorporating pop culture and considering the modern
women who will wear them. He believes his edge is his understanding of color,
textures and fabrics that other designers take for granted. By joining YDC, he
hopes to establish a brand that he can introduce to MEGA, hoping to also be
acknowledged in the industry.
Cristian
Mallabo believes that God has a purpose why he’s alive and in the
competition. His mother attempted to abort him but he survived. For as long as
he can remember, he’s had a passion for clothes. He was motivated when friends
and family started to ask him to create party clothes for them. He wants to be
known as a designer who can brave through any challenge and hopes to win in
order to give back to his aunt and sisters.
Ram Silva designs for a cause. He intends to help the dying
weaving community in Panay and Iloilo. During the go-see, judges were surprised
with his mix of native materials to create a modern look. He keeps in mind the
advice of Sari Yap, EIC of MEGA magazine, that what other designers learn
outside in six months to a year, they can experience and learn in YDC in two
months.
Mary Ty is inspired by YDC alumna Furne One, hoping to be
as successful as him. Mary has never joined a fashion competition because of
her fear of rejection. She tried her luck by joining Philippine Fashion Week
but did not succeed. Edwin Ao, another YDC alumna, urged her to join the upcoming
YDC. Her quirky comments amused the judges and are sure to liven the intense
challenges for the YDC hopefuls.
Geoffrey Zordilla has always wanted to study fashion design.
Initially, he had to struggle with his parents’ disbelief. Still, he pursued
his dreams and is currently a fashion design student. He is enthusiastic to
experience YDC’s challenges and to learn how to mingle with fellow designers.
Nature inspires him, feeling relaxed and comfortable in its serene environment.

I wanted a sort of "entry level" wig to feel it out and see if I wanted to get a better quality one in the future. Honestly this brazilian virgin hair is pretty good. There is only a small amount of lace in the front, but I knew this when I bought it. Luckily my brazilian hair uk is the same color as the wig so I pull some out from underneath lace wigs to help it look a little more natural. The parting is very thin however and does not go very far back. I've started to pluck it a bit but for now I'm just wearing human hair wigs uk or scarves to hide the top of my head. It's not a huge-dealbreaker. Also the ends are pretty stubborn about straightening but it reminds me of my own hair so I don't mind it! Just keep that in mind if you want a totally straight hair extensions uk. All in all I really like this wig. I've worn it out all day multiple times so far and it'xs held up great. I'm going to be washing it soon and may update depending on how it is after that, but hopefully it will be alright!
ReplyDeleteEverything about the jacket seemed fine. Quality leather, fit, color etc.The style is classic, yet modern, timeless, casual and very cool. High quality and very well crafted/constructed. Designer jackets
