<div style="text-align:center;">&#160;Manila, Philippines – February 16, 2012 – MEGA Magazine, the Philippines’ best</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">and pioneer fashion magazine, successfully culminated the second season of Gen M:</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Generation MEGA, the MEGA Young Designers Competition (YDC) 2012 and kick-</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">started its 20-year anniversary celebration recently at NBC tent.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">For the past 20 years, MEGA has endeavored to champion Philippine fashion and create a</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Filipino aesthetic. The YDC was created two years after the inception of the magazine and it</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">was launched in order to discover the creative minds who will then serve as ambassadors</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">of Philippine fashion to the runways of the world. This competition has produced a list of</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">impressive alumni including renowned designers Rajo Laurel, Michi Calica-Sotto, Patrice</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Ramos-Diaz, Ivarluski Aseron, Mich Dulce and Veejay Floresca</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">MEGA YDC host and resident judge Sari Yap, shares, “I believe in tradition. The MEGA</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Young Designers Competition is one such thing. When we started it in 1994, it was to create</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">a platform to discover new talent. Back then, to break into the fashion industry was very</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">difficult and there were very few avenues to generate buzz. Today, it’s a very different</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">picture, there are so many fashion schools and designing has become a go-to career for a lot</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">of young people. Although the barrier to entry is not as difficult as before, we still wanted</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">to find these stars and teach them the right skills.”</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">&#160;In keeping with the 20th anniversary of MEGA, the MEGA Young Designers Competition</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">final six were then tasked to imagine MEGAmorphosis and the next 20 years of MEGA for</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">their final collections. These were then showcased in a grand gala held at NBC Tent last</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">February 16, 2012.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">With an audience that included patrons of fashion, young society and the most important</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Manila, Philippines – January 2011 – Two challenges are done with only 13 aspiring</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">designers making it through the last cuts. Five designers were already eliminated as the</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">challenges in MEGA’s Young Designers Competition (YDC) 2012 heat up. In a surprising</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">twist, three designers were sent home during the last challenge since they failed to show a</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">fashion forecast fit for 2012.</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Philippines. Midway through the competition, who has survived?</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">As they unveil their versatile outfits, the designers are aware that getting the fashion</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Profiling the 18 fashion hopefuls the industry should lookout for.
<div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/ydc2012.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/ydc2012.jpg?w=489&#038;h=640" width="489" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Manila, Philippines – December 2011 – As the challenges in MEGA’s Young Designers</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Competition 2012 begin, let’s take a look on each of the designers will battle for their mark&#160;in the industry.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/nikitaagatha.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/nikitaagatha.jpg?w=200&#038;h=200" width="200" /></a></div>
<p></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Nikita Agatha boasts of being able to do anything from scratch. She picked up her flair for</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">fashion from her grandmother and mom who loved dressing her up when she was little.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">She considers Sari Yap, editor in chief of MEGA Magazine, as the judge to please, urging</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Nikita to carefully think of her designs. She cites Alexander McQueen as her idol for his out</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">of this world construction of outfits that women can wear.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"></div>

<p></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Dino Bancoro recently started as a fashion designer sharing that the pieces he presented</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">during the audition were his first ever creations. Through YDC, he hopes to learn more on</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">pattern making and sewing since he has yet to formally study fashion design. He admits</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">that he still needs polishing but is proud to say that he has the vision and creativity that</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">would amaze people.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">

<p></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Hazel Cargado is a registered nurse. However, after graduating and passing the board,</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Hazel felt lost. Eventually, she decided to go back to what she really wanted. After finding a</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">fashion design school in Manila, she quickly grabbed the opportunity to learn. Through</div>

<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Mara Chua has a motto that anything and everything can be inspiring. He believes that to</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">be successful, talent is not enough. He sharpened his technical skills in pattern making and</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">learned sewing through a seamstress who made his clothes. He cites Rei Kawakubo and</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Bjork as inspirations that allowed him to expand his horizons and stretch his aesthetic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/kirbycruz.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/kirbycruz.jpg?w=200&#038;h=200" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Kirby Cruz wants to represent his feelings through his designs. His goal is to have an</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">identity that makes his pieces unique. As a fresh fashion graduate, he feels the need for</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">the right exposure and he believes YDC is the best venue for him. He loves the design of</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Hussein Chalayan and Alexander McQueen since Kirby is fascinated where these designers</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">find their concepts and ideas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/cheddalogaog.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/cheddalogaog.jpg?w=200&#038;h=200" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Ched Dalogaog is a fashion instructor at one of the top fashion schools in Manila. He tells</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">a story with his creations, incorporating pop culture and considering the modern women</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">who will wear them. He believes his edge is his understanding of color, textures and fabrics</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">that other designers take for granted. By joining YDC, he hopes to establish a brand that he</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">can introduce to MEGA, hoping to also be acknowledged in the industry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/corleenduero.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/corleenduero.jpg?w=200&#038;h=200" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Corleen Duero specializes in constructing basics but still adding a touch of style. Hailing all</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">the way from Surigao, Corleen is proud to represent the south and hopes to be a designer</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">who can bridge fashion and design from Manila to Mindanao. He admires Issey Miyake,</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">always remembering the quote of the designer, “These clothes are no wrappings, you can</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">understand them the way you want, you can wear them the way you want.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/ozgo.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/ozgo.jpg?w=200&#038;h=200" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Oz Go’s designs dwell on futuristic and experimental looks. At a young age, he discovered</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">his affinity for fashion when he became obsessed with drawing her mother’s wedding</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">gown. He took a course in fashion design and eventually mounted a show during Philippine</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Fashion Week. Being the younger brother of singer Rachelle Ann Go, he is proud to mention</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">that they still share the same room and creates outfits for her to wear.</div>

<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Robin Gundran is the youngest member of this year’s competition. At 18 years old, he</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">showed his creations and wowed the judges during the go-see. He received negative</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">remarks from a lot of people who did not believe in his passion. However, he turned this</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">into his motivation. He knows that with perseverance, he can show his detractors that he</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">can get past them, and achieve fame and success.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/annlorio.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/annlorio.jpg?w=200&#038;h=200" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Ann Lorio is an industrial engineer from Cavite who wanted to shift to fashion design.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Despite her parents’ initial doubts on her dream, she travelled to Manila and worked to buy</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">a sewing machine. After seeing her passion, her parents eventually showed support to her.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">With her background in engineering, Ann attacks a design starting with the structure. As a</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">YDC contestant, she wants to learn and make her mark as a designer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/cristianmallabo.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/cristianmallabo.jpg?w=200&#038;h=200" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Cristian Mallabo believes that God has a purpose why he’s alive and in the competition.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">His mother attempted to abort him but he survived. For as long as he can remember, he’s</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">had a passion for clothes. He was motivated when friends and family started to ask him to</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">create party clothes for them. He wants to be known as a designer who can brave through</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">any challenge and hopes to win in order to give back to his aunt and sisters.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/porfimedina.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/porfimedina.jpg?w=200&#038;h=200" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Porfi Medina thinks of fashion more as a form of activism and advocacy. When he was in</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">elementary, Porfi’s grandmother opened a dress shop. At that tender age, he would observe</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">the fabrics and sewing, starting his dream to become a fashion designer. He views his</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">craft as a form of expression, translating social issues and its relevance into ensembles. He</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">wishes to convey a message on pressing issues in society with every design he makes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/renanpacson.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/renanpacson.jpg?w=200&#038;h=200" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Renan Pacson simply wants to make his family proud. He initially took up Hotel and</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Restaurant Management but eventually found his calling in fashion. He studied Clothing</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Technology and was lucky to have the support of his parents. Luckily, he was accepted not</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">based on his audition pieces, but based on how he packaged himself. His biggest challenge</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">is to find his signature aesthetic and intends to find this in YDC.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/ismaelpalma.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/ismaelpalma.jpg?w=200&#038;h=200" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Ismael Palma tried his luck during the auditions for the first season of Gen M: YDC but did</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">not make the cut. At that time, he still did not know how to sew so he took his failure as an</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">opportunity to improve. He decided to learn more about sewing and developing his</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">designs. He was accepted this year and shares that whatever the judges say, he will keep in</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">mind and apply.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/ericapanlilio.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/ericapanlilio.jpg?w=320&#038;h=320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Erica Panlilio hopes to dress up Katy Perry because of her fun playful personality. She</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">started looking up and imbibing the stylish attitude of her grandmother when she was</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">young. During the go-see, she had a major setback because the judges thought that she</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">had a styling problem. Still, she was chosen to be one of the finalists and she believes that</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">through YDC, she can grow and become a top designer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/ramsilva.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/ramsilva.jpg?w=200&#038;h=200" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Ram Silva designs for a cause. He intends to help the dying weaving community in Panay</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">and Iloilo. During the go-see, judges were surprised with his mix of native materials to</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">create a modern look. He keeps in mind the advice of Sari Yap, EIC of MEGA magazine, that</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">what other designers learn outside in six months to a year, they can experience and learn in</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">YDC in two months.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/maryty.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/maryty.jpg?w=200&#038;h=200" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Mary Ty is inspired by YDC alumna Furne One, hoping to be as successful as him. Mary</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">has never joined a fashion competition because of her fear of rejection. She tried her luck</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">by joining Philippine Fashion Week but did not succeed. Edwin Ao, another YDC alumna,</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">urged her to join the upcoming YDC. Her quirky comments amused the judges and are sure</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">to liven the intense challenges for the YDC hopefuls.</p>
</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/geoffreyzordilla.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/geoffreyzordilla.jpg?w=200&#038;h=200" width="200" /></a></div>
<p></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Geoffrey Zordilla has always wanted to study fashion design. Initially, he had to struggle</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">with his parents’ disbelief. Still, he pursued his dreams and is currently a fashion design</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">student. He is enthusiastic to experience YDC’s challenges and to learn how to mingle</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">with fellow designers. Nature inspires him, feeling relaxed and comfortable in its serene</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">environment.</div>

<p>A DECADE OF FASHION AND INNOVATION WITH MEGA YDC</p>
<p>The biggest running fashion competition in the country makes a comeback</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Manila, Philippines – December 2011 – MEGA Magazine’s mission of bringing the&#160;best in Philippine fashion springs anew with the comeback of the biggest running&#160;fashion competition in the country: Generation MEGA Season 3: MEGA Young Designer’s&#160;Competition 2012.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">“The MEGA YDC was conceived because MEGA wanted to contribute something to the&#160;industry. The best way to do that was to discover young designers and infuse new blood&#160;to the industry. That’s what we wanted to do then and that’s what we wanted to do now,”&#160;shares MEGA’s editor-in-chief Sari Yap. “What sets YDC apart is that we take the career of a&#160;designer end to end to heart. When we pick a designer, we make sure we follow through to&#160;make his/her career a good one”, adds Yap.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">This year’s fashion council includes MEGA’s editor-in-chief Sari Yap, top designer Avel&#160;Bacudio and fashion model Raya Mananquil. MEGA’s fashion editor Angela Alarcon&#160;meanwhile serves as the resident mentor.</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">In its first episode, a colorful array of aspiring designers from all over the country took a&#160;chance and braved the spotlight. Some designers impressed while others had a bitter taste&#160;of reality. It was a tough challenge to get the approval of the fashion council but in the end,18 finalists were chosen. &#160;Before announcing the first challenge of the season, Ms. Amina Aranaz Alunan, creative&#160;director and co-founder of the School of Fashion and the Arts (SOFA), welcomed all the&#160;designers as SOFA will serve as the designers’ fashion headquarters.</div>
<p>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">The true characters of the designers will be revealed. The designers were tasked to create&#160;outfits that symbolize “Proud to Be Me”. But, an additional challenge lies ahead. They must&#160;be able to channel their past, look for an object or childhood memory, and use it as an&#160;inspiration for their design.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Going with the memorable November 2011 cover shoot of MEGA, the challengers were&#160;sent off to busy Tutuban to purchase their materials. It was a shock to the designers as they&#160;all knew that December is bad time to go to Divisoria. Still, some designers immediately&#160;knew what they wanted, some found the fabrics they needed, but some were at a lost.&#160;Afterwards, they were all sent back to SOFA to create their pieces.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Through the interviews and interactions with fellow designers, the characters of each&#160;contestant were exposed.&#160;18 fashion hopefuls. 8 runway finalists. 1 ultimate winner. Who will be the last designer&#160;standing? This time around, the runway can be anywhere.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>

But, it doesn’t end there&#160;since an additional challenge lies ahead. They must be able to channel their past and use an&#160;unforgettable childhood memory that would reflect it in their design.</div>

When I heard about the audition, i thought very-hard and asked myself if I am ready? I rested the case and decided that I was not yet ready. But two days before the audition, I asked myself again, when would I be ready then?!?</p>
<p>It was my birthday the day before the audition, we had a party the night before the audition day, I was the epitome of &#8220;<strong>NGARAG</strong>&#8221; on the day of audition&#8230;thank God for my very supportive friends for being my mowdels&#8230;it was a tedious audition,,,,EEZCARY!!! EGZITING!!!  and every emotion in between!!!! KALOWKA lang&#8230;</p>
<p>I felt like crying when it was announced I was one of the 18 contenders to battle it out for the title. (*<em>very beaucon lang</em>). Reality tv, Mega YDC..this is just beyond me&#8230;but hey, to quote from the great <strong>Andy Warhol</strong> &#8220;..i<em>n the future, everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes</em>&#8220;&#8230;fine..I want my fifteen minutes of fame, every fifteen minutes of my life&#8230;ahaha&#8230;.: )</p>

<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">The longest running fashion competition in the Philippines is back once again to introduce the</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">newest additions to Philippine fashion. MEGA Young Designers Competition (YDC) was created</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">by Sari Yap, founder of the MEGA Publishing Group and EIC of MEGA magazine, to highlight the</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">immense talents of aspiring Filipino designers. She envisioned a gathering of creative minds that</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">can bring Philippine fashion to the runways of the world.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">The competition opened doors for countless designers to find their niche and establish their names</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">in the industry. As the new season of YDC officially begins on November 26, 2011, MEGA looks back</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">and highlights past designers who have been part of the competition.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Russel Villafuerte, winner of the 9th edition of YDC, shared, “It’s such a great privilege to be part</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">of that elite group of top designers in the country who joined YDC.” Something for viewers to look</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">forward to, Russel revealed his experience. “You get to see a lot of things in the challenges like</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">making gowns and couture in just 8 hours!”</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">For the first female designer winner of YDC, Vanessa Ang was happy to mention that YDC opened</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">a lot of doors in her career. “I got to meet a lot of people and got invited to all these fashion events</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">that introduced me to different people and provided me with more knowledge on the industry.”</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Dubai based Furne One &#8211; who was part of the first YDC competition &#8211; has already made an</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">international mark with his designs. International celebrities Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry and Nicki</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Minaj are some of the artists who have already worn his outfits in various occasions.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Other notable fashion figures who joined the competition are some of the Philippine’s most revered</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">designers like Rajo Laurel, Raoul Ramirez, Mich Dulce, Ivarluski Aseron, Chris Diaz, OJ Hofer,</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Patrice Ramos-Diaz and the internationally acclaimed Veejay Floresca to name a few.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">The question is, “Who is the next?”</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">It is through fashion that designers tell their story of inspirations and creations. The highly</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">anticipated YDC constantly looks for designers who have fresh and innovative concepts to prove&#160;that they deserve their needed break in the industry. Watch once again as the passion, aesthetic and</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">skills of 18 new breed designers unfold in the 3rd season of MEGA’s Young Designers Competition.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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&#8217;s a bit more exciting because there&#8217;s a fashion show. And the first thing I noticed when I arrived was the runway. </p>
<p>(warning: this is a photo-heavy blogpost)</p>
<p><a href="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/dsc_0458.jpg" style="clear:left;display:inline!important;float:left;margin-bottom:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://faschestyling.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/dsc_0458.jpg?w=640&#038;h=424" width="640" /></a>When I got there, Kris, MEGA&#8217;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&#8217;s always something out of the box. then I saw Suki Salvador (MEGA&#8217;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. </p>
