October 23rd, 2008

The moment we’ve all been waiting for is here!

DSC_0978

The Final Runway Show of Project Runway Philippines Season 1 will be held tonight at the SMX Convention Center.  This runway show is part of the Philippine Fashion Week Spring Summer 2009 series.

The show will not be aired live so that means we will all see the final runway show next week. I will be there tonight  to watch who among Veejay Floresca, Aries Lagat and Philipp Tampus will show the best collection and emerge as the first ever winner of Project Runway Philippines.

Cameras and other electronic devices will not be allowed inside the SMX Function Room 4, but I will definitely give you updates and the latest buzz on which collection gains the most positive feedback.  Of course, I will also be outside before and after the show to take snaps at some of the best fashionistas in the country!

For the meantime, ETC will be showing flashbacks of the best moments in the previous episodes of Project Runway Philippines.  Click here for the airing schedules and rerun schedules.

Ingat!

We would like to apologize to those of you who have been wating for Project Runway Philippines Episodes 6 and 7 because of the delay in posting.  As much as I want to, I could not do the recaps on time because of unavoidable circumstances (work, which pays the bills, and several other projects).

Be assured though that regular Project Runway Philippines Recap Programming will resume after the Philippine Blog Awards.

Thank you for your patience and continued support!

Project Runway Philippines Episode 4 Recap

August 22nd, 2008
Project Runway PhilippinesProject Runway Philippines

This, by far, is the most drama-laden episode of this Philippine franchise of the hit reality TV competition Project Runway! Throughout the week on ETC, clues were dropped in the trailer that showed a word war between Eli and Veejay, and Project Runway Philippines mentor Jojie Lloren to call both of their (Eli’s and veejay’s) attention. Is it as controversial as the trailer promises to be?  We’ll see.

The show started with a recap of the previous episode where Lord Maturan was eliminated.

At the Amorsolo Mansion, some of the designers were discussing the issue of “The Sando”, referring to the black tank top which Veejay and Bo used as an “accessory” in their garment in the last episode.  Pocket interviews of the designers showed that it was Eli Gonzakes who first noticed that the gown that Veejay Floresca and Bo Parcon created in the last episode had a tank top.  More pocket interviews revealed that other designers were also questioning the use of the cPage copy protected against web site content infringement by Copyscapeontroversial “sando”. Bo defended himseld by saying that he and Veejay mixed glamour and couture by using their styling to reflect the hip-hop theme.Others called it a technical foul. Eli, while talking to the other designers in one of the rooms said:

It is a unanimous decision that we have to disqualify those bitches. Those scheming bitches.

Back at the School of Fashion and the Arts (SoFA), host Teresa Herrera announced that the designers were going on a fun-filled and much-deserved rest and relaxation under the sun to relieve them of the stress of the show.  They were sent back to their residence to pack their clothes and everyone were in their fun and excited moods.

The designers arrived at the TRIbeca Private Residence (in Sucat, Muntinlupa) all ready to have fun, swim and take some much-needed relaxation.  At the breakfast table, verbal chaos started with Eli and Veejay picking on each other.  Eli picked on what Veejay was wearing What started out as an exchange of harsh words against each other’s physical attributes became a word fight on their private lives.  Then it led to the controversial issue of “The Sando” in Veejay’s garment. Here are some of the statements that were uttered during breakfast:

I don’t speak horse — Eli Gonzales
Sino ba naman ang tao na hindi magagalit kung sabihan ka ng anu-anong names cheater, horse, butiki! — Veejay Floresca
Why would I be fired? I’m in demand! — Aries Lagat

Veejay: Natatawa na lang ako sa’yo!
Eli: Mas natatawa ako sa’yo.  You look like the staff here! Why did you choose that shirt? Bad fashion sense?
Veejay: And lumalabas na… You are just insecure of me.  Insecure ka lang. That’s it.

The conversation led to the discussion about past challenges where other designers used leggings as part of their styling. Veejay defended himself saying that » Read more: Project Runway Philippines Episode 4 Recap

Project Runway Philippines Episode 3 Recap

August 14th, 2008

Project Runway PhilippinesHere’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

View the Sketches and Final Designs at the bottom of this post

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:

Bo Parcon: Ayoko talaga  ng mga sunog-sunog portion » Read more: Project Runway Philippines Episode 3 Recap

Project Runway Philippines: Episode 2 RECAP

August 7th, 2008
Project Runway PhilippinesImage via Wikipedia

This is a recap of the second episode of Project Runway Philippines.  We will not be dishing out personal commentary on the designers and their garments, the hosts, judges, the easter eggs, the continuity issues, and the production value of the show.  (Uhm, we’ll try.)

The show started with a recap of key scenes from the pilot episode.  In the pocket interview cum confessional of Aries Lagat, he shared that he felt awful and sad due to Loida Hunter’s elimination.  He recounted that in his last interview, he said some  bad things about Loida and for wanting her out of the show.

Teresa Herrera appeared on the runway and welcomed the designers. The models were brought out and Teresa announced that the winning model will get a fashion spread in Mega Magazine. The designers were asked to pick their models.  Aries Lagat, winner of the previous challenge got first dibs at choosing a model and he traded his model for another one.  Teresa then picked the order of selection by drawing out buttons with names of the designers from the velvet bag (first time to be used in the show). Except for one designer (Ivan?) who picked the model abandoned by Aries, all the other designers stuck with their own models. (See Summary table towards end of this entry).
