A designer creates the product," says former advertising genius James Reyes, the newly-elected president of the Young Designers Guild (YDG). This award-winning former art director of top advertising agency Campaigns and Grey is ready for his long-time passion for clothes and design. After being a finalist in MEGA magazine’s Young Designers Competition in 2002 and representing our country for the Paris Young Designers competition also in the same year, James has found his true calling in the world of fashion.

                    [Summary] => Art has long been a source of inspiration for fashion, and fashion has practically been elevated to the level of art. Though art and fashion often seem like one and the same, the integration of the two disciplines is a fairly recent phenomenon. Couture pieces that would have once been displayed only on a catwalk are now featured in exhibits showcasing the talents of local designers. Traditional Filipiniana fashion (most notably the terno) has gone from private closets to museum spaces.

                    [Summary] => It was almost a year ago when I first came across the work of Dennis Lustico. At a fashion show I couldn’t help but be enamored of his unique and intricately constructed designs. My friend and I immediately sweet-talked our way into the backstage area and secured our Dennis L. confections. From then on every time I wore something from Dennis, the compliments were always generous. I myself cannot conceal the pride of donning such a beautiful piece of work.

                    [Summary] => "Fashion is a product. Advertising is selling a product. A designer creates the product," says former advertising genius James Reyes, the newly-elected president of the Young Designers Guild (YDG). This award-winning former art director of top advertising agency Campaigns and Grey is ready for his long-time passion for clothes and design. After being a finalist in MEGA magazine’s Young Designers Competition in 2002 and representing our country for the Paris Young Designers competition also in the same year, James has found his true calling in the world of fashion.

                    [Summary] => Art has long been a source of inspiration for fashion, and fashion has practically been elevated to the level of art. Though art and fashion often seem like one and the same, the integration of the two disciplines is a fairly recent phenomenon. Couture pieces that would have once been displayed only on a catwalk are now featured in exhibits showcasing the talents of local designers. Traditional Filipiniana fashion (most notably the terno) has gone from private closets to museum spaces.

                    [Summary] => It was almost a year ago when I first came across the work of Dennis Lustico. At a fashion show I couldn’t help but be enamored of his unique and intricately constructed designs. My friend and I immediately sweet-talked our way into the backstage area and secured our Dennis L. confections. From then on every time I wore something from Dennis, the compliments were always generous. I myself cannot conceal the pride of donning such a beautiful piece of work.
