Fashion Watch presents OJ Hofer and Dennis Lustico
MANILA, Philippines - The much raved-about fashion series, Fashion Watch Quartet, is back for good. Media partners are Philippine STAR, Preview, Stylebible.ph, and StarWorld, in cooperation with BMW and Metro Pacific Investments.
Celebrated designers OJ Hofer and Dennis Lustico debut their collections at Fashion Watch Quartet tomorrow at 4 p.m. at the lobby of Makati Shangri-La Hotel.
A project of the Council of Fashion Designer of the Philippines, each Fashion Watch segment features the collection of two designers in a back-to-back format. The series runs until November 2011.
For OJ Hofer, design for couture is integral. It cannot stand alone. It must work in proportion with the figure and personality of the wearer. The structure and form of the dress must succeed in creating a sense of balance. It is with this design philosophy that OJ Hofer works together with his clients.
After studying fine arts at UP Diliman, Hofer got a scholarship at the Philippine Trade Training Center with teachers from Chambre Syndicale in Paris and the Fashion of Institute in New York, which he credits for many valuable lessons he learned in haute couture.

Dennis Lustico creates works of art that evoke femininity and sophistication. Most his designs are practical and easy-to-wear, best for women who are constantly out and about.
Fashion Watch Quartet features 19 of the country’s most notable designers, each showcasing a brand new collection. Each designer is exclusive to Fashion Watch Quartet. You won’t see their collections in any other fashion show series. Each designer will showcase their holiday collection early on in the year and a spring/summer collection towards the latter part of the year, much like fashion timetables abroad.
Fashion Watch Quartet will mount special shows as international ASEAN designers will be flown in to display their creations to the Filipino public.
Fashion Watch boasts industry greats working behind the scenes. Manila’s Prince of Fashion Inno Sotto is the creative director; Grace Molina is project coordinator, while Patrick Rosas and his team are in charge of hair and makeup.
