Project Runway Philippines Episode 3 Recap
Here’s a recap of Project Runway Philippines Episode 3. Enjoy!
Previous Episodes Recap
The show started with a recap of the first two episodes where Loida Hunter and Lorymer Villareal were eliminated.
The Challenge
Carla Sibal, Editor-in-Chief of Mega Magazine, is introduced. The winning design for this challenge will be featured in a fashion editorial in Mega Magazine.
Jojie Lloren introduced model, TV host, writer Sarah Meier. The challenge is for the designers to design an outfit for Sarah Meier.
Sarah explained to the designers her own personal style. She wanted a fusion of music and fashion. She wanted a fusion of designs inspired by Motown, jazz and blues and high fashion. Sara wanted something like Erika Baduh meets Yves Saint Laurent.
Challenge Title: Design an outfit for Sarah Meier that has both hip-hop and couture sensibilities.
The winning design will be worn by Sarah in a fashion editorial in Mega Magazine. Only six designs will be chosen to be shown on the runway.
The designers were given 15 minutes to sketch. Then one by one, they pitched their designs and concepts to Sarah.
During the consultation with Sarah, various design concepts were presented to her. Lord Maturan was pretty interesting (as he always is) during his presentation. He told Sarah.
Lord: I just hope you’re digging it, coz I’m digging you.
Sarah: And honey, I am digging you too.
Lord: Coz if I were straight, I’d be like, so having a crush on you!
Sarah seemed satisfied when she heard the magic word from Ava: Sneakers!
It was quite interesting that Sarah actually told Mara (and sincerely at that) that they would get along (well) and that they could hang out even after the show.
Sarah picked the following designers (with the corresponding reasons):
Mara Reyes – Sarah tried to design a dress once and it looked exactly like Mara’s design.
Veejay Floresca – Sarah announced that she has already tried on one of his dresses before and she felt beautiful in it.
Lord Maturan – The designer said all the right words
Aries Lagat – Sarah has always been kinda schizophrenic not knowing if she’d wear pants or skirt.
Ava Paguyo - same as the previous designer. Sarah’s unsure if she wanted a boy or a girl but wanted to do both
Charette Regala - a little bit out of realm, but want to see it happen

Pick Me Up!
Like we mentioned in last week’s recap, this episode would be a team challenge. The six chosen designers
Ava – Philipp
Veejay – Bo Parcon
Lord Maturan – Eli Gonzales
Mara Reyes – Jaz Cerezo
Charette Regala – Ivan Raborar
Aries Lagat – Winnie Chua
When it came down to Aries, he was stumped because even if he was left with one designer, he had difficulty “choosing” because he actually forgot Winnie’s name!
Thank You, Metro!
The designers then headed to Metro Gaisano where they were given 15 minutes to shop for their fabrics. The budget for this challenge was not mentioned at anytime during the show.
6 Hours until end of Day 1
The teams started working on their dresses. Aries was worried about how Winnie was going to perform since she was not very strong in the sewing department.
Charette explained that she chose Ivan because they complemented each other.
Jaz thought Mara chose her because of her sewing skills and that her dress in the rpevious challenge had a serpentine cut which was similar to Mara’s current design.
Ava shared that she chose Philipp as a partner because she knew he was good in the craft, plus he won the last challenge. She said she picked the best.
4 Hours Until End of Day 1
Aries said that he found Winnie a bit slow but it was alright since he was able to monitor her progress.
Winnie commented that she felt that Aries was treating her like a househelp because he was giving her a
Ivan noticed that Bo always made some comments on everyone else. Case in point:
