Such Absence of Manners
When the network gave the chance for Pretty Talent (PT) to appear in various projects, the management had high hopes. After all, PT was a looker and attractive. Although her acting was still raw, the network thought that her skills can be improved by taking workshops and joining various projects. As long as PT would be patient, she might become the next important star of the network.
As time passed, PT continued to strengthen her spot in her network, but things were shaky as there were indeed many other talents. Then, PT met Familiar-name Celebrity (FC), who was loved by people. Soon, PT was being linked to FC. While it was no big deal for FC, PT realized that advantages of being connected to someone like FC. Thus, she started throwing her weight around.
With FC behind her, PT started acting like she was an important talent of the network. Her projects might be limited, but the people with whom she works with all feel the impact of her presence. Compared to fellow co-workers who are cordial and light to be with, PT can be aloof, arrogant, and whiny. The behavior of PT came into question, and speculations centered on her being linked with FC as the reason for her arrogance.
By contrast, FC had won over his co-workers because he knows how to communicate with them. Also, it helps that he has been exposed to the business since his parents are well-known in their fields. Thus, it was only a matter of time for FC to join the industry himself. Much is expected from him, which is why he has learned to behave, if not played the field correctly.
What bothers certain observers is that PT might be taking her being linked to FC too far, as she has really yet to give the network a show that reaps in ratings. Her career is too thin to be bragged about, and in other words, she has more to prove than FC. Her attitude does not help at all. One secret to staying in the business is the good attitude one shows to fellow workers regardless of their position in the network. If PT wants to stay long, then she ought to be sincerely nice to everyone, and not be a nightmare to her costars.

Repost: Vogue Features Liza Soberano as 'A Style Star to Watch'

There are plenty of well-dressed It girls on Instagram, but Filipino-American actress Liza Soberano is racking up likes for more reasons than one. A household name in the Philippines thanks to her frequent television appearances and upcoming titular role as the beloved comic heroine Darna, Soberano sports a carefully curated wardrobe that is a mix of tomboy and cool girl. With the help of her stylist, Perry Tabora, the 19-year-old has already figured out that switching gears with her fashion choices makes for a vital sense of personal style. She’ll move from ripped denim and ribbon chokers worn for a casual outing to princess-worthy couture for major red carpet events. “I always enjoy collaborating on looks with Liza,” says Tabora. “She’s so adventurous when it comes to trying out new styles and is always open to suggestions.”
Born in Santa Clara, California, Soberano moved to Manila with her family when she was 10. She caught the eye of talent scouts and was offered modeling gigs shortly after, but chose to commit herself to learning Tagalog, an Austronesian language widely spoken in the Philippines, in order to work in Filipino television and film. Mastering the language (she’s now fluent) opened doors, allowing her to work her way from small parts to a leading role in a romantic comedy. As Soberano’s profile rose, Tabora was there to guide her fashion sensibility, and over the past four years they’ve developed a winning formula. “Liza’s looks are always youthful, fresh, and with an understated elegance,” says Tabora. “To give [her outfits] that unique quality we always try to mix aesthetics.”
To create that look, the pair combines pieces from Filipino labels with statement items from Gucci, Tom Ford, Chanel, and her personal favorite, Dior. “[Liza] adores Maria Grazia Chiuri for Dior,” says Tabora, pointing to the corseted dresses featured in the brand’s Western-themed Resort collection as a good example. Even with her affinity for the classic European houses, supporting local talent remains a priority for Soberano, particularly when it comes to Manila-based designers Martin Bautista and Michael Cinco. “They both have that look that she gravitates to—feminine but with a modern kick,” says Tabora.
With her star on the rise and growing online presence—she boasts more than 5 million followers on Instagram alone—Soberano is a girl to watch. And with a Darna press tour on the horizon, there’ll be plenty of opportunities to surprise her fans on the red carpet. Says Tabora, “She’s like a blank slate for fashion.”

Repost: Gucci Files Lawsuit Against Forever 21 for Ripping off Its Stripes & Motifs

Gucci has reportedly filed multiple cease-and-desist letters to Forever 21 following apparent copyright infringement on a number of the fast fashion retailer’s items.
According to Fashionista, Gucci sent the first of these letters as early as December 2016, which demanded that Forever 21 pull all items featuring “any and all use of” blue-red-blue stripes. A second followed in January and a third in February, both of which expanded the complaint to not just the blue-red-blue stripes but green-red-green stripes as well. Gucci stated that the stripes are “confusingly similar” to those of its own.
You can see the items in question — a striped choker and a number of bomber jackets — below, courtesy of the case documents.
Far from rolling over however, Fashionista also reports that Forever 21 is now seeking legal protection against the threat. The fast fashion retailer filed a legal complaint on Monday.
“Forever 21 is not infringing any Gucci trademark,” states the case document. “Gucci’s trademark registrations relevant to this dispute should be canceled. Gucci’s pending applications should not proceed to registration. This matter is ripe for a declaratory judgment.”
The irony in all of this is that Gucci has itself been accused of plagiarism in the last few weeks — first of copying designs from legendary Harlem courtier Dapper Dan, and then by two other separate designers.
Forever 21 is also no stranger to disputes over plagiarism. In the last year alone it has been accused of ripping off Kanye West, Thrasher and Emily Oberg. Stay tuned for more information on this one.
