Letter from a Reader: Designer in Delusion

Image courtesy of www.progarchives.com



Dear Fashion PULIS,

Hello FP! I am a follower of your blog. Apart from the regular blind items, I am also glad that you have this avenue wherein readers can send in and air their gripes about various concerns. I am now writing to you about the malpractices of this particular designer.

In this day and age when the power of technology like the internet gives everyone access to all information imaginable, there are still people who have the guts to make false claims including professionals who represent and/or misrepresent themselves for the purpose of scheming and manipulating people.

Case in point is Questionable Designer QD. On google search and wikipedia, here are some of QD's claims:

"Filipino-American QD is New York-based designer and consultant for global organizations."

1) Filipino American? New York-based? When he only studied for a year in New York. When I attended one of his events, he gave me a business card. I called his New York office, everything was a FAKE, as in no such number. And that 'Designers ----- ' written on his card, I went to the website, found out he just created it -- for "praise release" that is.

"After years of entrepreneurial work in Fashion and Style, QD trained with the Language and Communications ----"

2) He did not train, he was a mere volunteer associate intern. He worked for, NOT trained.

"QD is currently an International Consultant for Branding and Design at the -----"

3) ---- does not need a consultant for branding and design. It gives out money and funds they don't need to promote themselves. We verified this and this position and post title is non-existent. This is not true. HE IS NOT AN INTERNATIONAL CONSULTANT FOR BRANDING AND DESIGN.

"He also heads the Designers for ----- New York, a group of designers from around the world designing for worldwide organizations and development agencies."

4) Again, this is non-existent, just a product of his imagination.

All this while heading **, his design agency in Manila.

5) I checked this out with the BIR - Bureau of Internal Revenue and SEC - Securities and Exchange Commission - this is not a registered entity.

6) Try to inquire about a pair of shoes, he will not be able to show you anything because what he has posted on his website is just that -- samples. Some of them are just in 3d rendering only.

7) His caskets and urns are also non-existent. There maybe be less than four caskets ever made. He had some tv interviews inside a casket factory but he just used these sub-contractors for his own publicity. Not one funeral house ever got interested in his designs.

8) Presently since he is looking for money, he is selling the shoes that are left-overs from his previous "samples." That's why if you ask, he will say "walang size," then he will sell it for Php30,000. Gross!

9) Now he has a tv show on design. He is posting cheap AD DEALS on facebook for his show. OFWs can make "pa-bati" for as low as 40 USD! Lol

10) He initiated this top Filipino exhibit supposedly featuring Lea Salonga, Manny Pacquiao, Charice Pempengco. Then all of a sudden, names like some nobodies surfaced. He included some nobodies so that they will be in his network, since some were also designers. At the event itself, only those nobodies showed up. Lea Salonga and company were clueless.

11) If he is so successful in his design career, why would he always post status on facebook looking for a free ride? "I need a ride from Makati to Katipunan 4pm-ish, anyone?" And does he have friends at all? "Going for a jogging in Ateneo, any companion available?"

On a tour ride somewhere north, he would borrow money to buy small "pasalubongs" but would never pay. Cheap!

Also, when he returned from New York, he said he would only stay here for six months, yet he never left Manila since.

FP, I am sending this as we were a victim of QD's unprofessionalism: a major project that got delayed and eventually scrapped due to his negligence and incompetence.

We hope that this will also help remind people not to be too naive and trusting towards other people they hardly know (something which I was guilty of). Do background check, internet is big help. If in doubt, don't do it. Thank you very much, FP for publishing my letter.

Sincerely,
Angie

Sorry, dont know the designer personally pero to go through all the hassles na isa-isahing idisprove ang mga claims nya, gaano ba kalaki kasalanan nya sayo?

  30. pag ganitong klaseng bi naalala ko yung nag uumpisa pa lang ang fp. puro fashion world related at tungkol sa world ng mga socialites at mga social climber ang topic. kaya nga fashion pulis ang pangalan ng blog. medyo naging showbiz oriented na ang bi lately. pero ok lang, dumami naman readers mo. pero na miss ko rin yun time na yun na konti lang tayo dito na nanghuhula sa mga swindler at estafador na mga social climbers haha! anyways, hula ko sa bi na ito si oreos.

  35. May debate sa loob ng isang company na di pwedeng ibulgar kasi may committed partnership sila dito-. May mga nag-qu-question ng capacity nya kasi sana mas senior na designer ang kinuha kasi parang nagiging authoritative ang dating- may na hurt syang ego. He may not be aware of-chummy naman sya kasi. I'm not sure of kasi parang sardonic ang fez nya at sa ibang department yun eh- narinig ko lang. Usap usapan lang. Atsaka may time kasi paulit ulit na nine namedrop ang isang business tycoon.Tapos may isang taga Marikina na nagwowrk din sa "company" namin ang nagsabi na hindi naman kilala ang pamilya ng mga yan as shoe maker pero active-activan sya sa isang samahan daw ata na nire-revive ang Marikina Shoes (or parang nagpapapapel). E tito ng officemate namin yung active dun sa samahan na yun. Yung samahan parang di maka-congressman, parang anti- kasi wala namang ginagawa raw sa Marikina ang mga politikong si "Q" para irevive ang sapatos, gumawa lang ng sariling line ang asawa ni "Q" ng sapatos. Sabi ng tito nya, mahilig daw maki-epal si designer wala namang produktong sapatos,mas masahol pa raw sa politiko "Q". Pero naisip ko kasi outspoken sya, baka di nya alam may mga naapakan sya. Marikina shoe makers ang mga yon, e sino ba sya. ganito rin ang problema nya sa "company" na sinasabi ko, kasi dun ako nagwowork

    ReplyDelete
  41. This part I can attest for: I've been to one of his design talks held in one of the Greenbelt Cinemas and everything he said made sense and was relatable especially for designers, artists and other people in the creative field. He is aiming for more forward-thinking collaborations between designers and the government and the business sector which in fact can greatly affect our country's progress. The talk was refreshing and I didn't sense any arrogance from the speaker. In fact, he was game to talk to the guests who approached him afterwards.

    On the other hand, I also did some research on him after he handed me one of his cards (this was a couple of years ago), I checked out his site, his background, etc. I couldn't find much info on his products and I thought it's probably because he just got back here in the Philippines and trying to re-establish his presence again (he was very vocal about networking with other designers and creative people at that time). It's hard to conclude that he's a social climber or a wanna-be, but I guess both parties have a valid point. There must be underlying circumstances as to why the sender's project was delayed. Let us not blame it solely on the designer.

    Just took a quick peek at the designer's blog and he prefers not to retaliate. Couldn't count that as being unprofessional.

    If I were the sender, I would have talked to the designer in person and ask for an explanation and an apology, if necessary, not bash him over the Internet.

  47. i do think legit designer naman sya kasi matagal na rin sya gumagawa ng shoes. kaya lang sooner or later may pupuna kasi pangunahan ba naman ng yabang factor and fluff praise release.

    At the end, your product should do the talking tsaka wag sana lumihis sa goal na u want your products to be bought by real people..hindi lang yung puro marketing or pahiram sa celebrities.

  53. Nakakaaliw naman itong letter na 'to. Nagtangka pang mag-BI eh halata naman kaagad kung sino yung pinararatangan ng paninira. Kahit yung mismong tao eh, in-expose na siya yung tinitira! Nag-BI ka pa 'day!

    At super-effort ka 'teh! More hanap ka talaga sa BIR at SEC! Pero karamihan naman ng mga punto mo, more pagngingitngit lang. Care mo talaga sa mga fb updates niya, huh?! May poot!

    Sense niyo na lang yung mga mismong website niya, wag na sa wikipedia (ang reliable talaga nito ah!). Ang nakikita ko lang sa kanya eh, ma-PR si potah. Kaya nga siguro design strategy ang choba niya. More of design/marketing consultant na si bakla ngayon, hindi naman designer per se. Kung nagpasindak ka naman, eh nasa sa 'yo na yon.

    Pero ang ironic lang ng letter mo kasi essentially sinisiraan mo siya for making "unsubstantiated claims" about his credentials, pero yung isyu mo sa kanya tungkol sa naudlot na "major project" ay unsubstantiated naman din. Ano ba kasi yon, ilantad mo na lang. Talaga bang may project? May pondo ba? Siya lang ba talaga ang dahilan kung bakit hindi natuloy? Ang lakas naman pala ng powers niya kung ganun!

    At kung professional talaga yung isyu mo, bakit hindi mo na lang sa kanya ipinaabot ang concerns mo? Baka naman naayos pa yung problema. At bakit hindi na lang kayo naghanap ng ibang designer para natuloy yung "project" niyo?

    Kung maninira ka na rin lang, wag ka nang magkunwaring public service na pambabala sa ibang tao at wag mo nang i-BI na super obviosa naman. Name names para magkalantaran na kayo kaagad 'teh. Genuine complaint naman di ba? O baka naman afraid kang makasuhan ng libel?

    Ayun o.

  54. B is not only an incredibly talented designer, whose shoes are still the best Philippine-made products in their category, but is also a decent, honest person who would never stoop malign as the letter's author has. If the author's project was scrapped, chances are it was a worthless endeavor from the onset.

  58. sweetheart you should have given details regarding that alleged botched project by the designer instead of enumerating speculations. so he decided to stay in Manila instead of NY, what's wrong with that? he's selling well-designed quality proudly Pinoy-made shoes worth P30,000, why do you have to describe it as gross? high society people shell out even more for foreign brands. don't you think it's high time that we think of local designs as direct competitors for foreign brands too?

    ang hirap satin kapag nakikipag-network ang isang tao to develop his/her brand, we immediately accuse them as social climbers.

    i'm a designer and most of my friends are designers/ architects, our common observation: sometimes it's the clients who are "unprofessional". they think we can work magic, like we're these microwave design machines at their beck and call na kapag hindi nakuha ang gusto nila, we're stamped as unprofessional kaagad. they don't know that designing is a thinking process that incorporates time constraints and budget.

    cut this guy some slack. if you've had a problem with him, take it up with him personally. if it's a chronic situation, however, then it might be worth blogging/ warning people about.

    ReplyDelete
  62. crab mentality? Because B right now is becoming popular so fellow designers attack him. In one of the hush-hush pep talks- and quiet chika chika, some designers do not want him because he is so ma-epal daw. Probably because he speaks his mind and he outshines them because even though he lacks the products, even though he doesn't have workshop room, nor boutique- he is an instant celebrity. That's the reality in fashion world. Yung iba nga, pinagtatwanan si B behind his back but I am not in the position to tell B about this because friends ko rin naman sila. There may be truth when the hater said he is not NY based, or consultant for ADABA (figure out)- but he is a good person. He can be loud, he can be flirty, he can be sexy. He is NOT perfect- he may have claimed something that aren't true. Pero syempre para sa mga talagang sastre at tunay na designer, isa lang syang nagpapanggap. That's what I always hear

    ReplyDelete
  63. Baka naman wala talagang "naudlot" na major project to begin with? Ginagawa lang valid ng mga fellow designers nya ang pag ba-blind item sa kanya dahil ingit sila. You know, gumagawa ng issue? Parang tactic para hindi halata na inaatake nila ang isang emerging fashion designer

Siguro kasi si QD may pang botox sila wala hehehehe. Dadami talaga haters nya dahil may TV sya at hindi pa sya respected sa craft nya, pasikat na sya. Sabagay, kung sinong maingay syang walang laman.

    There is NO scrapped project, I think, there are just envious haters from the F-world who wants to see him down so they are making up stories. Marami kayang insecure sa kanya- kung balahurain nila si QD grabe, pero pag harap harap na, kala mong magbebestfriend/ amiga amiga. Kaya sinusuka ko ang F world dahil ang daming impokrita-ang liit liit kasi ng opportunity sa Pinas so ang daming sharks sa red sea.

  68. Okay, "Angie".

    Your BI clearly pointed out who you were pertaining to. In the spirit of fair play, can you share your full name so we can also substatiate your claims?

    If he was truly the reason why a big project was shelved then give detailed proof.

  69. Nakakatawa yung mga nagdedefend sa SUBJECT ng BI na to. Halatang halata na siya mismo ang nagcocomment! MALALAMAN NAMAN YAN NI FP EH MAKIKITA NYA PAREPAREHO LANG IP ADDRESS. Hahahhaa

    Ambisyosang B "designer" yan, kung maka comment dito, parang hindi siya IT expert, eh sa web designing siya nagsimula ng career. TEH wag ka masyado mag comment sa sarili mong BI! LOL

  70. Sa tingin ko, wala namang kukuha kay QD for major project dahil wala naman siyang "concrete" product for sale . ewan ko hindi naman ako designer. Pero wala, parang consultant lang sya. So baka nagpapanggap lang ito na may major project, baka nabwibwisit lang si angie dahil para sa kanya nagpapanggap si QD. Sa totoo lang, marami ngang asar sa kanya, pero hindi sya masyadong binibigyan ng halaga kasi he is never a threat to other designers. Never pa akong nakakita sa runway o sa Famas o kahit sa Metro Manila Film Fest na nagsabi designed by QD. Kahit sapatos? meron ba? yung kay M.A. meron pa ...yung may boutique sa hotel na malapit sa isang airport. Pero si QD, wala naman so paano sya magkakaproject? Pero alam ko mahilig syang makinetwork at magbenta ng sarili nya to the extent OA na, pero nice naman sya. Minsan lang OA, hindi mo alam kung extra friendly o friendly talaga. Alam ko rin, every time may ilalabas syang post sa twitter, or sa blog nya, may mga grapevines na hinihimay himay na ang mga declarations nya. Mas matanda sila kay QD in terms of experience sa industry or mga contemporary lang nya. Pero syempre wala kasing pumalo ng pwet o nakapag bully kay QD o nagsabi na "hija, ang panget ng gawa mo" (anong panget e wala ngang produkto). Atsaka, for what Ive known ang attack sa kanya wala naman syang formal study ng design kahit man lang sa local or sa Milan, so ano ang authority nya to discuss things like design? Ganyan naman sa fashion world, siraan sila ng siraan. Parang pag nagkita kita, sasabihin "have you seen his works?etc..yadah yadah. It sucks". Parang hindi pa nasanay si QD sa ganyan kaya parang affected sya. Probably the reason why he is NOT used to these kinds of attacks is because he is NOT really a fashion designer. he has no products- so he hasn't tasted the competition among designers. He doesn't feel any animosity na macompare ang work nya. But, he maybe design consultant. To QD, mejo affected ka. Chill lang. Ganyan sa fashion world, maraming magagaling or naggagaling galingan. Para sa kanila, isa ka dun. E di deadma

  71. You wouldn't think of "Angie" as professional or genuine. This was concocted out of spite and not as a warning to other people. Too much gossip, not enough facts - everything coloured by a sense to malign. And please, there's nothing wrong with social climbing if it means rising above a section of muck-raking society that thrives on damaging rumours. If he leaves you grovelling in the mud, then good for him. As I see it, this designer is trying to elevate design (both conceptually and practically) on a national level. Hopefully this sense of good design will filter down to the groundlings. We'll all be the better for it.

  72. Some people, wait, most people pala, HATER talaga and peg.


    Pero please, think before you say. Dyan tayo nagkakamali. Talking without thinking, edi semplang ka!


    First and foremost, kung pineke niya mga credentials niya, feeling mo Teh, gagawan siya ng show ng GMA? Mag isip ka naman, siguro naman, mas mayaman naman at mas may utak ang GMA kesa sayo na talagang icheck at siguraduhin na reliable itong bini-BI mo. Why would they waste their money on someone who doesn't even know what he's talking about? Gets mo?! Hindi mo kailangan maging genius teh para magets ang sinasabi ko.


    Feelingera ka naman, siya pa ang unprofessional sa lagay na dito ka nagsalita imbes na iapproach siya? At anong pakialam mo kung maglalagay siya ng New York-based? Eh malay mo talagang may business siya dun, di mo lng alam kasi di ka naman taga New York Teh! Insecure ka naman yata masyado Teh!


    Talagang inisa-isa mo pa yung credentials niya ha, parang napaka pathetic mo naman! Talagang you wasted time investigating ha! Siguro dapat mag apply ka sa Imbestigador, bagay ka dun Teh! Haha.


    Di nga ako fan ni BI mo pero infairness, nalurkey ako sa letter mo. Halata namang may personal vendetta ka. Siguro nagtry kang bumili ng shoes ano, tapos tumawad ka, kaya lng no deal si BI. hahahahah. Whatever the case, I pity you. Akala mo, sinisira mo ang reputasyon nitong si BI sa ginagawa mo, i di ko nga siya kilala sa umpisa Teh, ngayon pinasikat mo na siya saken.


    Sige, ngitngit ka dyan ng ngitngit at sa huli, imbes na masira ang image ni BI, ikaw pa ang maloloka kasi mas sisikat siya! Hala ka! hahahah

    3. Teh Anonymous 2:40 Nahiya naman ako sayo Teh! Pati mga tao na hindi part ng BI talagang ininsulto pa ha! I'm sorry Teh if you have a prejudiced mind. At pasenxa ka rin Teh if I have something between my ears, UTAK ba Teh, parang wala ka kasi nito Teh eh. Bakit ikaw, nagko comment ka rin diba? Anong feeling mo sa sarili mo Teh? Wagas lng makapanlait, nahiya naman kami sayo! Pasensya na Teh kung insecure ka katulad ng Angie nato and all you do is think bad of others. Ika nga, there's always two sides of the story pero ang nangyayari, parang mas peg niyo ang mag one sided. Pinaglihi kayo siguro sa sama ng loob! Tsaka ang aga aga pa Teh, negative ang vibes, wag mo sabiin ampalaya ulam mo for breakfast Teh ha! Mamamatay ka niyan sa asim hala ka! Hahah.


      PS. Do yourself a favor and read more educational books and watch educational TV para umandar naman ang kukote mo Teh, akala mo kasi makapanlait ka, wala ng tao ang marunong mag isip sa sarili niya. FYI,I have my own mind and I can speak what I want. At Teh, AGAIN PLEASE THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK. Sabi ko, how dare Angie na magjudge na unprofessional si BI eh siya nga eh imbes na iapproach at isolve ang "PROJECT" issue kuno eh nag BI pa. I'm not questioning her integrity for stating her feelings here. What I am questioning is her calling this BI unprofessional when clearly, she isn't one. San ka ba nag-aral Teh at parang buffering pa yung utak mo. Lolo ko nga di nakapag high school mukhang mas matalino pa makaintindi ng may sense na mga salita. Clearly, kulang ka sa Promil ng baby ka! hahahahah

      Ayusin mo utak mo Teh, try mo alugin, baka mag function ng mabuti! hahahah

    2. teh Anonymous 2: 09 pyschic ka ba? panu mo masasabing obvious? hindi nman teh mga socialites marunong mag ingles at mag isip. FYI lng, there's a lot of people who are unbiased and who can clearly think for themselves. di naman porket parang nagsa-side sa BI eh kaibigan na agad or kakilala ng BI. Seriously teh? what's obvious is you have a prejudiced mindset, mag ayos2x ka teh! Tapos who have no clue who he is? eh di mo naman siguro inintindi ng mabuti panu mo masasabi na lahat ng nag dedefend sa BI eh kakampi niya. Baka kakagising lng ng utak mo ti, paghilamusin mo muna! haha

  76. Dapat hindi na pumapatol si QD dahil hindi naman about his works ang atake personal-unless totoo yung mga sinabi. I think the scrapped project was nothing but a way para ilihis ang issue. Marami sya kasing silent haters sa world ng mga nagpapasyon. Mga impokrtita sila at si QD naman ay world peace ang moda

  77. legit ang mga endeavors ng shoe designer na ito. he planned to enter the fashion industry since his college days. he's actually a very humble and decent guy.

    to all his "haters", sana naman talagang matibay ang mga so-called pruweba ninyo bago kayo manira ng tao. nakakatawa lang kasi ang peg ninyo.

    1. sadly, marami talaga syang silent haters who are doing some puzzle to tibag him! following secretly to his account/ asking their galamay to friend him. He is very nice naman pero dami nya talagang silent hater, mga pasyonista din. Minsan sya ang hot topic nila ********** . OMG, kapag ginaya nila yung tigas ng mukha tapos yung last time toxic sila talaga sa pambabalahura kasi ginamit pa yung signature style nya na "twalya" raw sa leeeg. Pano kasi biglang sikat eh wala naman daw product.sabi nila.-baka for consultancy okay naman. Bait naman si ateh e. Sweet pa. Kung pwede lang wag nya na patulan kasi mas malalaki ang bank account nung mga asar sa kanya kaso mas malaki naman ang brain nya. taob ang mga tanda sa industriya.

  79. i had known the QD few years now, i had bought 2 pairs of shoes that he made, both were custom made and i was entertained well, the first shoe didnt fit well because i had given a wrong shoe size, he repaired it and send back to me, the second shoe fits perfectly it was used on our wedding.

    His design is something to be proud of, it beyond any foreign brand and the quality is really good, been wearing my shoes for 4 years now and it still look new.

    craftmanship and quality and design wise i can vouch on his shoes.

  80. I bought one of his shoes many many years back and I'm really impressed with the quality. Well, I don't know if he made it big in NY but he is a good designer based from my experience.
