Mega Fashion Crew: Exuding Beauty in Threes



Hype is building as the remaining teams feel the pressure to prove that they should be
MEGA’s Top Fashion Crew. As a final twist last episode, no teams were eliminated during the
last challenge. But for this week, good will not be enough.

The teams have made it this far and the judges are expecting only the best among the best.

People always view beauty as seemingly effortless. In reality, it requires a lot of work to
create an image worthy of perfection. It also needs quite a great deal of attention to achieve.
This week’s challenge will show beauty in different aspects and stretch the contenders’
creative ideas further.

A three pronged challenge awaits contestants as they strive to be the final two.

MEGA's Magic 4

Contestants will have to show beauty through three different mediums: a print ad; a
television commercial; and a fashion show. The teams have already executed fashionable
photos and a stylish runway show. But will they be able to pull-off a tv commercial for a
product feature?

In just one challenge, teams have to display their strengths in the three challenges to wow
the judges. The teams also need to convince judges on a product feature through a tv
commercial. Will the challengers survive through three challenges in one episode?

Guest judge Joey Reyes, resident judges Raya Mananquil, Sari Yap, AvelBacudio, and guest judge Manuel Villafania

Veteran director Joey Reyes and top creative director Mr. Manuel Villafania share their ideas
and expertise as a guest judge for the episode.

The teams must be bold enough for a beautiful triumph. The four remaining teams will have
to show only their strongest to make the final cut for the grand finale. Who will be the last
two teams vying to be MEGA’s Top Fashion Crew?

Catch Generation MEGA Season 2: MEGA Fashion Crew every Saturday at 7pm, with replays
on Sundays at 10am, only on ETC.

HOW TO BREAK INTO THE UK FASHION INDUSTRY






Have you ever wondered how a fashion education course from the UK can help you set-up a fashion studio in the UK? Listen to how fashion designer Lilia Yip was able to do this at a talk to be held at the British Council office (10th Floor Taipan Place, F. Ortigas Jr. Road, Ortigas Center, 1605 Pasig, Philippines) on Wednesday, 05 October 6:00pm.



Lilia is a Singaporean designer musician based in Brighton, UK. She graduated from the Royal College of Art MA Fashion Womenswear in 2008, and set up her studio in 2009. She is the UK guest designer for Look Magazine’s Look of Style Awards where she will showcase her unique conceptual designs. The Look of Style awards is a unique opportunity for a Filipino fashion designer to win a short course at Central St Martins in London where hopefully another Lilia Yip can be found.


Admission to this talk is FREE. If you reside outside Manila or are unable to attend the talk, you may join us online for a live broadcast!

To register and for further enquiries please send your emails to educationuk@britishcouncil.org.ph.

let's go fashion enthusiasts!

Mega Fashion Crew: Return to Temptation


After bringing high fashion to the streets of Manila, the remaining Mega Fashion Crew
contestants are faced with the hypnotic – and sometimes dangerous – challenge of
temptation.


This week, challengers will bring an expression of seduction. Teams will create a stylish
look that mirrors the original temptress herself, Eve. Hold on to your senses and be
allured with the most exotic episode of this season.


Prepping to be Eve

But how do you pull off a high fashion shoot without clothes? Think Eve and what else
was with her in the Garden of Eden? This episode proves juicier than the bite on an
apple. Sexiness will be brought to life with another round of surprises.


Temptation being personified

With the tantalizing Ms. Tessa Prieto Valdes as a guest judge, viewers will see her take
on this sinfully delightful challenge.

Still, it’s not going to be a paradise of dreams for the teams. Some challengers will be
eliminated as we inch closer to the grand finale of the show. With only 20 contenders left,
only the strongest can survive the strong seduction of failure.

Catch Generation MEGA Season 2: MEGA Fashion Crew every Saturday at 7pm, with
replays on Sundays at 10am, only on ETC.

Ruffled


Just a quick update of what I've been up to this week. and I descibe this week as ruffled.
 elegantly waved and sophisticated

Right now I'm just waiting for my downloads to finish-- that is sept and oct 2011 international fashion magazines. My next class starts at 5pm pa but I'll go to school already after this  to work on my boutique design and fashion show runway design using SketchUp -- I'm new to this btw. thanks to youtube tutorials!

Yesterday, My prof in Aesthetics gave back our prelim papers and I got 1.0! hooray! my grade was actually  77/75! thanks to the bonus points! I'm loving mondays because of the Torres sibs! we have TV ART class with Ma'am Carrie Torres and Aesthetics class with Sir Fernando Torres, I wish I'd have him again as my prof for Aesthetics2 next semester :D 

for the past weekend, I just stayed home and gave all my time for plates and thesis. It was a productive weekend! I was able to finish all requirements needed for my non-thesis subjects. 
Thank God for being able to focus!

I'm also glad that my savings are increasing fast and I was able to sell a piece I designed for the Cirq Regal Fashion Show last February. My bank account is so happy! I'll be needing it for something in the future. It sucks to resist shopping and I feel envious for the stuffs I see online but I have to resist! haha

on the other hand, Estell and I have laid out our plans and I'm very excited for it, can't stop thinking about it! so for now we just really have to focus and finish our theses so we can start with everything. 

That's all for now, toodles!

    Mega Fashion Crew Episode 8: High Street Surprise


    HIGH STREET SURPRISE

    The street provides the setting for this week’s challenge. Like avenues and streets in the
    urban jungle, challengers must find their way around twists and turns to reach their goal.
    Working with the theme “High Street Fashion”, challengers will be faced with a lot of firsts
    in this episode.

    Aspiring Mega Fashion Crew contestants will have to face their newest challenge yet.

    One of the teams tries to get the perfect shot
    along the streets of Makati.


    50th Avenue at Robinson’s Galleria partners with the Mega Fashion Crew. The challenge
    proves to be a stressful but special feat as teams will be working on the first anniversary
    ad campaign of 50th Avenue. The final looks will be featured at 50th Avenue’s display
    window. Challengers will conceptualize to show their take on high street fashion.

    A first in the competition, teams will be doing the photo shoots on the streets. Watch to
    see how the contestants work through the uncontrolled environment outdoors. The team
    that survives shooting on the city streets will emerge as the victors for this challenge.

    As another first, the guest mentor will double as the guest judge. In this challenge, high
    street fashion will determine who stays and who leaves. Those who find the right route
    are deserving to still be in the race to be Mega’s Top Fashion Crew.


    The judges from left, top menswear designer and stylist Bang
    Pineda, top model Raya Mananquil, MEGA magazine EIC Sari Yap, top designer Avel
    Bacudio and 50th Avenue Vice President Aisha Jaafar.

    Catch Generation MEGA Season 2: MEGA Fashion Crew every Saturday 7pm, with
    replays on Sundays, 10am only on ETC.

    I first knew about Bubbles through Vern's blog and when I checked out their page, I really fell inlove with these pieces!

    I really love the colors used in this one!


    One of my favorites too because of its fluffy tassels!
    I was so happy when Tati (yes, our names are quite alike!) of Bubbles sent me a message that she'll be giving me these!
    Thank you so much, Tati! you made my day!



    These pretty tassel necklaces are all from Bubbles!



    they also have these tassel earrings  which everyone has been wanting to have!


    Have you seen what your favorite fashion bloggers like Vern, and Kryz are wearing lately?

    6 months before graduation. 5 months before thesis defense.
    this week has been so toxic yet a productive one for me. consecutive sleepless nights and beating deadlines.

    Mega Fashion Crew Episode 7

    I got invited to watch the taping of Mega Fashion Crew and was able to experience first-hand experience and drama. They were taping MFC Episode 7. The challenge for this episode was to have 3 final photos: a backstage shot, a catalogue shot and a runway shot. This one's a bit more exciting because there's a fashion show. And the first thing I noticed when I arrived was the runway.

    (warning: this is a photo-heavy blogpost)

    When I got there, Kris, MEGA's social marketing associate, toured me around the set to show me where the hair and make-up area, studios, judging area are. As we were going around, I got starstrucked because I saw Direk Robby Carmona! He looks so prim and proper as usual. I actually had a crush on him because I admire how he directs fashion shows. It's always something out of the box. then I saw Suki Salvador (MEGA's Executive Creative Director) was walking towards us. I was thrilled when He was introduced to me. then after that we saw Meryll Yan (Deputy Editor) again, I had the same reaction. Being introduced to the big people behind MEGA is such an honor.





    photographers post-processing their final photos









    shoes galore!


    my friend, Es (thanks for going with me kahit last minute!)






    Photographers working on the last part of the challenge which was the runway shot.

    Dinner at Sicilian with MEGA's Marketing team

    After dinner, it was time for deliberation.

    time for deliberation!

    Top fashion show director Robby Carmona and SM Department Store’s Ladies Fashion Merchandising Division Head Pia Abad will join resident judges Mega Publishing Group’s President and CEO and MEGA Magazine Editor-in-Chief Sari Yap, top fashion model Raya Mananquil, and top fashion designer Avel Bacudio in this episode. Jocas De Leon, Brand Manager for SM Ladies Wear, will also be sitting in as a guest mentor together with Maybelline’s Archie Tolentino, L’Oreal Paris Philippines’ Borge Aloba, Deputy Editor Meryl Yan and Suki Salvador.



    Oh look! it's the OS bone tie! shout out to my dearest Paul, AJ and Kat!
    While the judges are delberating, the contestants were just chilling (but deep inside nervous, aminin!)
     so we decided to bond with them




    With Bjorn and Mycke dear!


    You may have noticed some people who have been eliminated in the previous episodes. This is because 10 challengers will be back as wild card entries this episode! Find out who these 10 challengers are this Saturday, September 10, 7pm on ETC.
    (Obviously, Bjorn is back! yay for Bjorn!!) -sorry spoiler :P


    thank you Mega marketing team for inviting me!
    being with the big-time people of Mega was never intimidating! They are so humble, very friendly and funny too! I really had fun being with them!

    Es and I with Meryll and Suki

    the bffs shot with Kris 

    Thank you so much again! and also to the whole Mega Publishing group for this experience!

    Each episode gets more intense so don't forget to watch Mega Fashion Crew this Saturday, 7pm on ETC. Replays every Sunday at 10am.
