Here's a clip of my TV guesting as a judge on Project Runway Philippines season 2. Project Runway season 3 is about to start airing . This is an exciting serires as it showcases Filipino talent and how the contestants adapt their limited resources to the different challenges. This particular episode had the contestants interpret popular films. I was tapped to judge this challenge because of my love for film and costuming, and also my background in advertising. It was interesting to witness how minds take to cinema for inspiration. Some did it literally. The others used the essence of the film and applied it in their designs, eventually winning our approval. There is that thin line defining costume design and fashion design. Both deal with garments, but costume design defines the character and the role. It's larger than life and it should amplify the character's personality (also, the technical aspect of the costume). Fashion design is reality. You design for a real person who will be using it in real life for a certain occasion. For fashion design, I usually try to get to know my client first before sketching. I use her, or him, as my inspiration. The end result should make my client feel good, therefore, look good as well.
Please watch out for Project Runway Philippines season 3, with my very good friend, Jojie Lloren.
