FACE OFF Casting!

May 10th, 2009

Something really exciting is going to happen next month in local fashion. Inquirer is going to put together three of the best fashion designers in the country and they are going to have a huge gala presentation at the Cultural Center of the Philippines! The show is tentatively titled FACE OFF! I am super excited about this project, which is a collaboration between Randy Ortiz, Rhett Eala, and ME! (shameless plug) LOL!

We had an open casting to find out who will be modeling for our collections! Open casting is always fun, but it can be quite tedious and long, as we have to see everyone! The casting turned out to be very promising. Apart from our personal favorites, we “discovered” brand new models that will bring life to our creations. More than 150 models came over for the casting, I just want to thank all the models who came over for the casting!

Randy Ortiz and Rhett Eala having a fantastic time at the casting!

This model from Davao reminded all of us of the singer Nicole of the famed pussycat doll group. Rhett eventually bagged this beautiful lady

This is Axell, he is from France! He will be modeling for me. My collection is inspired by the Ballet and I think he looks like a ballet dancer! Dida he kinda looks like a young Mikhail Barishnikov? ( not sure of the spelling)

This young man is a new model who is Filipino but grew up in Australia. I think he looks very current.

This is Mariana. She reminded me of Queen Raina of Jordan. She has a really stunning face!

This is Mira. I first saw her in season one of Philippines' Next Top Model. I love her features! Happy that she will be wearing my clothes for the show.

Ladies and quite a few gentlemen, let me introduce you to Justin Mills! Is he not GORGEOUS or WHAT!? OMG! He made the entire panel blush! What a looker! He will be in the Philippines for only 3 months and I think he will do very very well! He is Filipino/British!!!!
