Standing as a creative avenue, Fashion Watch Quartet continues to be the much-awaited series that continues to bring to the forefront fresh new talent through an exciting fashion event. This year, 2011, marks the revival of Fashion Watch Quartet. The much raved about fashion series is back for good, amped up and better than ever!
With a roster of homegrown and international talents, fashion forward Filipino craftsmanship rises to the surface as renowned designer Len Nepomuceno brings forth new design inspirations for the season.
LULU TAN-GAN. In the Philippine fashion scene, Lulu Tan-Gan’s name has been synonymous with KNITWEAR since 1985. In a tropical country such as the Philippines, knits were traditionally perceived as stuffy and boring. Only a keen and gutsy designer would see beyond this façade and actually create pieces for the expatriates & tourist that come to Manila & for the jet-set Filipinos that travel to cooler destinations.
JC BUENDIA. Designer to both Presidents Arroyo and Aquino, and newly-elected President of the Fashion and Design Council of the Philippines, JC Buendia is a master of quiet, exact tailoring.
Fashion Watch 2011 is a project of the CFDP (Council of Fashion Designers of the Philippines). It will run from April to November, 2011. Each week will feature the collection of two designers in back-to-back format, who will have his/her creations unveiled to all through a fashion show held at the lobby area of the prestigious Shangri-La Makati Hotel.
The series will feature 19 of the country’s most notable designers, each showcasing a brand new collection. Each designer is exclusive to Fashion Watch Quartet; you won’t see their collections on any other fashion show series. Every designer will showcase their Holiday collection early on in the year and a Spring/Summer collection towards the latter part of the year, much like fashion timetables abroad.
Fashion Watch Quartet will also stage special shows as several internationally known ASEAN designers will be flown in to display their creations to the Filipino public.
Besides an A-list roster of designers, models, and media partners The Philippine Star, Preview, StyleBible, and StarWorld, Fashion Watch Quartet boasts of industry greats working behind-the-scenes as well, including Patrick Rosas and team as the force behind hair and makeup, Grace Molina as Project Coordinator and Director and Manila’s Prince of Fashion himself, Inno Sotto as Creative Director .
As Fashion Watch Quartet makes its comeback, it continues to raise the bar for how today’s fashion show series should be.
Fashion Watch 2011 is presented by Olay, Makati Shangri-la Hotel, Philippine Star, Preview Magazine, Starworld and Stylebible.ph in cooperation with major sponsors BMW and Metro Pacific Investments.
