  1. IMITATION. Pinoy designers are devoid of originality

    1. I think ang ginaya lang is yung detail sa likod. Yung sa harap, they're different enough and, as you said, basic enough, na you can pass off the commonality as coincidence.

  6. In my honest opinion, that design is kinda common na in our designers. Parang filipiniana na couture. If I construct a building, basically all buildings look the same. So im not necesarily stealing the look of a building coz almost all buildings are shaped like a rectangle. So I think inspiration lang. Mejo late 2005 nga ang ganyang trend

  7. Veejay definitely copied this from Veluz. Mahilig naman mangopya yang si Veejay.

  8. I follow him in ig! Down to earth naman ata sya. Love his designs. Trade mark nya ata ung mga layerings.

  9. Friends, clients, and admirers of Veluz have told Veluz that copying is a form of flattery, pero siguro if hindi ka lang naman isang beses gayahin hindi ka na maflatter. Maiinis ka na din.

  10. Inspiration.. Basic masyado ang filipiniana wedding gown.. Wala naman maraming maggawang variation sa kanya kaya possible na laging halos magkakapareho design.. Marami na ko nakitaan ng ganyan mga well-known designers at no name ones..

  11. inspiration. basic filipiniana form + heavily embellished top/body + ruffled/bias flange skirt

    sa totoo lang, pang ilang bridal gown na yan na heavily embellished at ganyan ang skirt. sana may mauso nang iba!!!

  12. very basic, lahat ng designers maiisip yan, pakabugan na lang.

  13. Inspiration... kasi pag imitation totally magkapareho... i think :)

  14. No, I don't think this is copied. Also may distinct style din naman si Veejay if you browse his works online, I admire his design skills. :)

  15. Inspiration. Kaya lang, parang mas maganda yung kay Veejay, and parang mas expensive yung materials kaysa sa Veluz.

    1. Really? Parang too thick and rough kay Veejay na materials ah. And yung fit sa upper body hindi kagandahan. Tignan mo fit sa upper body ng kay veluz mas flattering. And ang soft and weightless tignan. Just my opinion

  16. It's not an exact copy. But that back is definitely copied. Even if imitation is the best form of flattery, or so they say, it is painful to see hard work just copied by anyone.

  17. Asus. Pwede ba. Napaka basic ng design na yan. Matagal na yan ginagawa na Filipiniana na may mga embellishment at ruffles. Project Runway Philippines pa gumagawa ng modernized Filipiniana si Veejay. At ang concept na yan is not attributable to a single designer.

    ReplyDelete
  18. neither imitation nor inspiration. it's a generic filipiniana design for the top and since uso ang organza, yun ang ginamit sa skirt part. kung may ginayahan sila, yung organza ni vera wang yun at ang unang gumawa nung filipiniana sleeves (top)

  19. Magkaiba naman...

    yung year.

  20. veejay's trademark has always been ruffled layers. his style of layering is classier and modern. even the choice of fabric is very now.

    as opposed to veluz's style of layering - which is outdated. 2 years apart but you can obviously see how "old-looking" veluz's style is.

    the filipiniana's terno can only be altered in so few ways.

    these are 2 designers with different aesthetic styles.

    in the world of art/fashion, nothing is really original.

  21. Nangopya na lang si veejay sana ginandahan naman nya. The fit looks horrible!

    1. the fit really is horrible, isnt it? the top is all boxy. im sure he and his supporters will say that's the way it's supposed to be but it's not. there's no excuse for poor fit and construction. what's fascinating to me is how social media has allowed designers to become self proclaimed celebrities. but there's no constructive critical reflection going on about the work. basta lahat: "omg i laaav it." or "amazing sis!" or "ikaw na!" it's all empty adorations that deprives the work of getting better.

      ...in other words, veejay's taste level is tacky and his construction is subpar.

  22. veejay's taste level is questionable. he's overrated.

    ReplyDelete
  23. The embroidery screams veluz, tbh. And it's not veejay's style, if you look at his designs.

    ReplyDelete
  24. The filipiniana sleeve can be done by any Filipino designer. But the way it was done was definitely copied. We all know the embroidery and beading is Veluz's style. Agree. It screams Veluz.
