Hot Young Designers Fashion Face Off 2011 First Collection
It was only a dream a few months ago, 4 months to be exact. I knew that I wanted to do two things: 1) help aspiring fashion designers make their own collections and build their own brands and 2) help build a name for the Philippines in terms of fashion. I also knew that I did not have the skills to teach designers how to create fabulous clothing (they are even more knowledgeable in this aspect), but I knew that my experience in marketing and business will help these designers greatly in building their own brands. With all these things in mind, my partner and I started Hot Young Designers with Fashion Face Off as the main model behind the brand.Continue reading
