Fashion Bullying, a Scene from MAGKARIBAL

Image courtesy of www.eigenharp.net

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.

  39. I 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.

    ReplyDelete
  40. senior 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!!!

    ReplyDelete
  41. The designer is CHARcoal na MAARTE...and literally her skin is like charcoal too.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Di ko knose si bully. Mygosh, she's not sikat like VR!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Guys, what do you expect? She hangs out with the Gucci Gang. We all know how CREDIBLE they are. HAHAHAHAHA!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Senior? 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!

    hay, these people. that's why i prefer the rich ones that live private lives while giving CHARitably.

    Kori

    ReplyDelete
  45. VR is a nice girl :D I like her aesthetics, she's my classmate before in SOFA.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Hay..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!!!!

  47. hhmmm...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?

    ReplyDelete
  48. Ang Sama Diablo! (un lang hahaha)

    -joie

    ReplyDelete
  49. 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.

    I 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!

    PS, FashionPulis is so addicting, Mike! Mind games are a great de-stresser. Thanks! :D

  50. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  51. I 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.

    Chizzy

  53. kawawa 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!!!!

    taga cebu ko

  54. At least s VR magandang pamilya sa CEBU.........

    ReplyDelete
  58. Oo nga, senior designer is ugly nga! CHARINg!!! :P I've heard abt her pero name lang, nothing abt her work. Is she any good?!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Ang CHARot CHARot pala ng ugali nitong si Senior Designer. Sarap pag-umpukin ng ulo nila ni TIMang.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I'm surprise the Yapper is still around!? He seems like a very toxic person.

    ReplyDelete

  64. this is what VR should've done to her bullies

    ReplyDelete
  65. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  66. YUP YUP YUP, I know na. :)

    ReplyDelete
  67. VR 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

    Btw, 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.

  68. if my guess is right, senior fashion designer was a classmate in highschool....never thought she could be like that...kakalungkot.

    ReplyDelete
  69. its my first time to guess kung sino ang mga tao bts. bongga!

    VR 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!

  70. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  71. OMG!!! 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!!!

  73. 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,

    ReplyDelete
  74. Soooo 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?

    VR seems nice. I hope she doesn't get fame in to her head unlike CHARcoal girl

    ReplyDelete
  75. LOL at April 1, 2011 4:13 PM baka kiwi ang gamit na deodorant!

    I 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!!

    ReplyDelete
  76. 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!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  77. The senior designer's clothes are CHeAp cRap. INAabuso nya masyado kayamanan nya. So ARTE. And her friends are the same, all money.
    Maybe she's just rich....and thats all she has.

    O pag di nyo pa nagets yan.

  81. 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.

  86. kilala ko na si senior designer. gusto ko pa naman sya. now, ayaw na. wait, diba pino-promote nya ang fashion pulis sa site nya? ;)

    ReplyDelete
  87. Hi 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!
