Fashion Bullying, a Scene from MAGKARIBAL

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.
