A female fashion designer has disliked this young Cebu bred fashion designer V.R. ever since one of her workers transferred to her. Their paths never crossed until last Saturday night in an after fashion show party in Greenbelt's M Cafe. This was what happened.
This female designer was partying with her male writer friend when suddenly a restauranteur/jewelry designer/socialite from Cebu passed by. The writer said hi to her and noticed her outfit so he asked her who did it. When the writer heard her say "it is V.R.", he teased his female designer friend by repeating the name over and over again. The socialite found the behavior unusual so she shared the incident with V.R. when she saw her later that night at the party.
Unfortunately, when it was time for V.R. to leave, she had to pass through the area where the female designer and her writer friend were hanging out. When she reached that part of the venue, the two blocked her way on purpose. V.R. had to say "excuse me po" several times before they looked at her with pity and allowed her to pass. V.R. left the party feeling very bad because she was bullied by two people who are supposed to be more mature than she. They might have been a bit drunk but that does not give them an excuse for their immature and distasteful behavior. It was just like a scene from the soap opera Magkaribal!
I suggest you visit Crossings Shangri La Mall and check out the display window to familiarize yourself with the works of V.R. Coincidentally, her cocktail dresses and long gowns caught my attention last Wednesday when I visited the said mall.
How about the two fashion bullies, do you know them? The female designer has a store that is walking distance from the party venue. My apologies though to the readers who are not familiar with the Greenbelt area. On the other hand, the writer needs no clue. His behavior speaks for himself.
If you still cannot figure out the characters, I suggest you follow micsylim on twitter and you might just get additional clues. Thank you very much for your continuous support to Fashion PULIS. If you have any stories to share, please email them to michaelsylim@gmail.com. I will be waiting.
hmmm is the writer surname kinda yuppy?

who are the bullies?!?..i kindda have an idea about VR...she has a russian blood and a designer brother,right?!? but the bullies..hmmm....
ReplyDeletesince i'm from cebu, i know V.R. but not the fashion designer and writer.. clue pls!
ReplyDeleteIs the female designer young or more senior?
ReplyDeleteThe female designer is more senior.
ReplyDeleteLove this post! I know VR na. Who are the bullies? More clues pls.
ReplyDeleteOooohhhh i know na the both the designers. Im not surprised the senior designer would do something like that. She's very loud everytime i see her.
ReplyDeleteWhy would they do something like that to V.R.? The girls so sweet and nice. For the senior designer, I really find her, ma- ARTE!
ReplyDeleteInitials naman pls ni senior designer.
ReplyDeleteMike, wag ka munang matulog. Provide clues muna. Demanding mga readers mo, sorry! :))
ReplyDeleteThe senior designer has a store in Greenbelt. That should not be hard to decipher. =)
ReplyDeleteOh God, there are so many Filipino designers in Greenbelt. Especially in Greenbelt 5 near M Cafe. :(
ReplyDeleteIf not mistaken, the senior designer is known for making swimsuits / beach wear :)
ReplyDeleteFemale designer in Greenbelt? I don't think there are many.
ReplyDeleteare both female designers from the same southern queen city ?
ReplyDeletesincerely,
pandora

ReplyDeletehmmm... i know na this one! her name starts with letter C, right? a socialite friend of this female designer asked her to make a gown for a friend who'll be getting an award for Oscars. you guys know na WHO?
ReplyDelete@FP: hope you're fans/readers will follow me on twitter (@rinatuazon) since i made that account because of this blog. LOL
The fashion bullies:
ReplyDeleteS is the last name of the female designer
Y is the last name of the male writer
looks like the senior designer is so arte ha..
ReplyDeleteNahulaan ko na. CHARING!
ReplyDelete(Senior na pala siya sa lagay na yan.)
kaloka ang GG gang umatake na nman...mga heartlesss B tlaga tong mga GG gang.
ReplyDeleteV.R. is not only talented but pretty! Si older designer if am right last name is S who is always w/ the group of socialites.insekura naman!
ReplyDeletehay nako! that senior designer is a real bully!! no breeding talaga! Been having thoughts on exposing her attitude but never got around it, now parang I want na!!!
ReplyDeleteThe senior designer is super "arte" her boyfriend looks Bumbay. Senior designer is dark and with a skeletal face. The clue is here Ladies. Men and gheys just look closer ;)
ReplyDeleteDoes the first name of the female bully designer start with a C? And is in on the society here in Manila?
ReplyDeleteOMG :) I know na!!!!
ReplyDeleteMike, your blog is soooo aliw! Nice to read with my coffee and pancakes every morning! Thanks so much for making my day fun, exciting, and guessing for funny clues.
ReplyDeleteBless you in your future tour! =)
Mike sino ba ang Senior Desingner na yn?..... Napakasama naman ng ugali!!!!!!! And comparing her VR mas d hamak na maganda at mabait si VR!!!!!!!!! Bka lumaki na ulo nya kasi akala nya sikat na sya...........
ReplyDeleteVR, I know. The writer, I know. Will search na lang for the other bully designer.
ReplyDeleteilan lang naman ang female designers na local that we have in greenbelt 5, kung clothes designer, isa lang ang senior designer at yun ay si Senora! tapos maga bata na ang iba !hahhahahaha
ReplyDeletethe female designer's name starts with letter C. and, the writer's name starts with letter T. am i right?
ReplyDeleteAha, I know na! Thanks for the clues, everyone! Galing nyo!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, ang pretty ni VR! I like her designs.
OMG. I have a story about bully designer C and her "credibility" or lack thereof as a designer... (Will email you, Mike.)
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised she's able to do something like this.
-Warla Han
eewww ang pangit kaya ni C. mukhang baluga na kulang sa kuskos sa balat!Akala ba nya maganda sya?! uking ng ina nya noh! baka gusto nya imudmud ko siya sa putik! mukha siyang PUTA. kthnxbye.
ReplyDeleteim loving this blog so much. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Natawa ako kay anonymous (11:12AM)! hahaha Now I know na sino si C!
ReplyDeleteI was introduced to senior designer who I greeted warmly and cordially. She just stared at me blankly and looked away. Rude. Too bad, I was going to tell SD that I bought an item at the Greenbelt store. I'll just give it to my yaya. Or actually, my yaya is too good for SD stuff. Papapunas ko nalang sa banyo.
ReplyDeletesenior designer? she doesn't deserve that name. some of her so called "works" are just imported from China and she just retags them. Like one time, I saw a Phillip Lim-like dress before when she was being carried by rustan's...and she just retagged it. Not in the same level as Inno Sotto and the like. I wouldn't even call her a designer..she's a WANNABE!!!
ReplyDeleteThe designer is CHARcoal na MAARTE...and literally her skin is like charcoal too.
ReplyDeleteDi ko knose si bully. Mygosh, she's not sikat like VR!
ReplyDeleteGuys, what do you expect? She hangs out with the Gucci Gang. We all know how CREDIBLE they are. HAHAHAHAHA!
ReplyDeleteSenior? When did this designer ever become SENIOR? She's like one of those run-of-the-mill, "hey I'm rich so I'm gonna have my own line" kind of people (nevermind if her knowledge of clothing science/tech is minimal - mag-clothing tech ka nga muna sa UP, 'teh!), much like the off-key artistas who make albums just because they're famous!
ReplyDeletehay, these people. that's why i prefer the rich ones that live private lives while giving CHARitably.
Kori
VR is a nice girl :D I like her aesthetics, she's my classmate before in SOFA.
ReplyDeleteHay..this bully writer gives me FEVER! kung mag host para naman ROBOT! OO, cge na! ikaw na at ang mga friends mo ang pinaka'cool' sa REPUBLIQUE of the Philippines! Psss...bullies!!!!
ReplyDeleteT*** Inang Mukha Yan Ang Pangeeeeeet!!
Deletehhmmm...among the female designers na alam kong may attitude at may store sa G5..petite siya..although di halata dahil sa heels at dress niya minsan.ang store ba niya ay kahilera lang ng newly opened store na hindi sa ground floor, at kahilera ba ng store ng accesories designer na si A?
ReplyDeleteAng Sama Diablo! (un lang hahaha)
ReplyDelete-joie
I assume the title SENIOR refers to her being older than VR. I will in NO WAY consider her as a senior-designer-in-a-Inno Sotto-level-ish.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if VR still does that wonderful ribbon pants of hers, been meaning to order one eh. I super like that pants, I'm this close to sending her a message in FB. And we're not even FB-friends. Haha. Stalker much!
<3, KopiRoti
PS, FashionPulis is so addicting, Mike! Mind games are a great de-stresser. Thanks! :D
it really does seem like a scene from magkaribal! Although di hamak na hindi magkapatid ang dalawang designers. VR is so beautiful, tisay, at mukhang malinis parati. Yung isa naman, negritang etnik! Baka nainsecure at nathreaten lang yung losyang designer dito sa bagets!
ReplyDeleteI never knew the ma-ARTE designer was like that. I actually like some of her designs or maybe they just look good on a divine socialite's body.
ReplyDeleteChizzy
if no one's told you yet, mr. TY, you are one of the most grammatically challenged pseudo host-writers on the face of your cheap station!
ReplyDeletekawawa naman si VR, she is very very young and sweet pa! practically a babe out of the woods! am sure nakaka intimidate ang itsura ni senior designer at ang ka diablohan ni writer. huwag clang magkamaling dumalaw sa cebu !!! baskets and baskets of rotten mangoes will be thrown at them!!!!
ReplyDeletetaga cebu ko
At least s VR magandang pamilya sa CEBU.........
ReplyDeletei got tired from laughing while reading all the comments, but finally got na who these bullies are and the kawawa young designer is. how can people teach these bullies a lesson?? :(
ReplyDeleteyung itim ng paa ni cocial slimber kasing itim ng kilikili nya
ReplyDeleteI've worked with VR she's super super nice and talented. wawa naman if she was being bullied. insecure sigro yung nag bully
ReplyDeleteOo nga, senior designer is ugly nga! CHARINg!!! :P I've heard abt her pero name lang, nothing abt her work. Is she any good?!
ReplyDeleteVRCSTY
ReplyDeleteDi ba?
Ang CHARot CHARot pala ng ugali nitong si Senior Designer. Sarap pag-umpukin ng ulo nila ni TIMang.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprise the Yapper is still around!? He seems like a very toxic person.
ReplyDeletekasing itim ng balat nya ang budhi nya!hindi pa sya designer masama na talaga ang ugali nyan.feeling mayaman pero isang hampaslupa sa totoong buhay!social climber ba ang tawag don,Charing!!! :o
ReplyDeletePrincess
Ang papangit naman ng damit nyan S na yan...si VR mas talented pa sa knya...overrated yan si S.!
ReplyDeleteBAKA NAMAN KASE SI SENIOR DESIGNER THAT NIGHT AY WIRED SYA... NAKA ILANG BAGS NA NG BLOW.... OH WELL KAWAWA NAMAN SI VR... DONT WORRY MALALAOS DIN YAN SI SENIOR DESIGNER.. ANG ALAM LANG NAMAN GAWIN NYANG DAMIT AY PUROS JERSEY... AND SHES JUST COPYING THE DESIGNS FROM NEIMAN MARCUS AND CAVALI....
ReplyDeletethis is what VR should've done to her bullies
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52Wcqcz10pY&feature=related
All this time, I thought the older designer was very approachable. CHAR lang pala. Oh well, insecure people really need to bully others to make up for the things which they can't have as opposed to VR who effortlessly shines.
ReplyDeleteYUP YUP YUP, I know na. :)
ReplyDeleteVR is a nice girl, but it could be a really cruel world out there. I'm sure she'd still shine like bea in magkaribal :p
ReplyDeleteBtw, La Estetica is offering huge discounts for acne facials, stretch mark treatments, underarm excessive sweating surgery and other select dermatology and cosmetic services this April.
You can check out their promos at Ensogo.com.ph by clicking this link: http://bit.ly/ekvMuT
if my guess is right, senior fashion designer was a classmate in highschool....never thought she could be like that...kakalungkot.
ReplyDeleteits my first time to guess kung sino ang mga tao bts. bongga!
ReplyDeleteVR has class, she definitely do. but for CHARmos and TIMbalang nothing but two other socialites who thinks they topped the metro scene.
Na remember ko tuloy ang blog ni brian gorrell (tama ba spelling?) where he exposed alot the Gucci Gang. They are super hyper! as in!
dapat tagline nila: Are You Drugs? As baluktot as their attitude. at baluktot the grammar of that Timbalang. kala nya he's the it host. tumatumbling yung english nya! Leche Sila!
-row
Overpriced work of designer C! Cheap fabric and she copy designs! One of the reasons I stop doing rtw! Bec of this type of 'designers' who dissect or buy discreetly your clothes so they can copy!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! I know this Senior designer.She befriended another female designer before and started doing business with her but after learning all the tricks(she doesnt know anything),this Senior designer bullied the female designer and seperated from her and keeps on bad mouthing the female designer...tsk tsk tsk!She's the worst!!!
ReplyDeleteJohn:
Nakita ko si writer T sa Shangri-la kasama ang kanyang gang sa isang restaurant. Mapapatingin ka talaga sa table nila not because naggagandahan sila dahil ang lakas ng boses ni T! paging Gorell!
ReplyDeletexoxo
MrsM
So ang writer eh si tv host na di nagbayad bg cell phone bill? Actually super nakakahiya talaga sya,beki na,masama pa ugali and unfortunately lahing chino , i mean , beki din ako pero , naman u should compensate by being nice,
ReplyDeleteSoooo is there a possibility why she became Channel V Philippines Designer of the month one time is because of this "eventologist" <-wtf I don't care if I misspelled it who also has a show in this network?
ReplyDeleteVR seems nice. I hope she doesn't get fame in to her head unlike CHARcoal girl
LOL at April 1, 2011 4:13 PM baka kiwi ang gamit na deodorant!
ReplyDeleteI like VR's design, galing her drapings. I like some of Charing's clothes too especially the ones that Heart wears but OA naman sa price. And to think jersey lang naman ang fabric, magkano lang ba ang tela..go nalang ako sa suling mananahi!!
yung tsinoy na host-eventologist-writer-pr guy/girl WANNABE na hindi marunong mag englis at kawala walang grammar,is the devil reincarnated. it seems he/she/it has illusions and delusions that he/she/it is soooo talented and good looking!!! kakaloka!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe senior designer's clothes are CHeAp cRap. INAabuso nya masyado kayamanan nya. So ARTE. And her friends are the same, all money.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she's just rich....and thats all she has.
O pag di nyo pa nagets yan.
FP, may comment si Anonymous "Guys, what do you expect? She hangs out with the Gucci Gang. We all know how CREDIBLE they are. HAHAHAHAHA!
ReplyDeleteApril 1, 2011 1:40 PM". ----> SINO-SINO BA YANG GUCCI GANG NA YAN, NAINTRIGA ATA AKO! Do you have stories about them Fashion Police?
To borrow the acronym used to describe the writer, this was lifted from a then popular blog:

ReplyDeleteJust google the Gucci Gang, and you'll learn everything you need to know. ;) You can also go to Brian Gorrell's blog: http://delfindjmontano.blogspot.com
I got to interview Chabita before. I asked her how she comes up with her designs, SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO DRAW OR LABEL THE FABRICS. She steals her ideas from abroad. SoARTE! She's taking advantage of Team Yuck's social climbing skills.
ReplyDeletecomment from Anon 8:58 made me crack a laugh (am re reading all posts to de-stress_..you know what, FP has officially become one of my stress relievers. so thank you and more power stay discreet! ☺
ReplyDeletesysmaryosep! i googled to death the name.thanks for the clues.
ReplyDeleteNEVER HEARD of her! akala ko naman a known designer. generic pala.
susmaryosep! akala ko naman senior designer as in well known talented. never heard of her. thanks for the clues at googled to death ako.
ReplyDeleteshe's a no name. GENERIC lang pala.
hindi ako nakatira sa Manila so i still don't know who the SD is. can somebody just blurt it out?
ReplyDeletekilala ko na si senior designer. gusto ko pa naman sya. now, ayaw na. wait, diba pino-promote nya ang fashion pulis sa site nya? ;)
ReplyDeleteHi FP, all I can say is, what goes around comes around for VR! I know her very well and if she's being bullied, she literally DESERVES IT. She also bullied me a couple of years back and she even sent her "minions" to do it. Imagine, Im older than her and her millions and did nothing to them... and thats why I just let it go and left them alone. She deserves what happened to her since it is not just me who she bullied here in Cebu... dami pa kami! KARMA!
ReplyDeletesi writer ba may entertainment show sa isang giant network? hmmmm :D
ReplyDeletekawawa naman si v.r.. err..
sino kaya si senior designer? waaah..
omg... ang sama talaga ng ugali nyang writer na yan... i have chikka about that person... will email you... >;)
ReplyDeletebakit nga ba etong mga 'it' girls & badings daw ng Manila party circuit kinukuhang mga host sa tv eh d naman makapagenglish ng normal (fluent), parang nagrrecite parati

Grabe na to FP, i have been googling non stop to look for this SD, thanks for those who posted clues, well, i find it hard to know who she is, kasi di pala naman super sikat. and she hangs out din pala with the "sosyalitas" kuno.
ReplyDeletewell, T, an epitome of a real social climber.
Fashion is supposed to be fun. It shows that different people have different ways to express "fun."
