Filipinos can’t be fashion trendsetters, because Philippine’s fashion sense is absolutely horrid, this is my opinion. If I went to school wearing that, people around me would be giving weird looks & start giggling.

I visited Philippines last summer & it’s like everyone lives in a cave. I’m studying abroad there next school year, I’m bringing ALL my clothes/shoes, because it’s impossible to find a clothing store with decent looking clothes.

It’s sad, but what that guy said is true.
Pinoy Guy Guide,we share the same dream. I hope the time will come when the Philippines will have a very distinctive style and will be woven into global culture.
Let’s keep pushing!
Kaya natin yan! I’m with you!

well, the fact that the male model pants is too big for him.
maybe that’s why.

Ladies and Gentlemen.. I just want to tell you guys that there’s no such thing as gaya-gaya in fashion. All of the styles now.. revived lang yan from earlier years. nauna lang itrend sa ibang bansa ung lumang style.

since 2008 a lot of pinoy pride shirts have mushroomed all over the archipelago. i guess we have to start somewhere and rhett eala’s philippine map is a good start.

we can’t be a trend setter because our country is poor. economy supersedes culture (fashion) so as long as our country is poor whatever cultural innovation that we have will always be looked down upon as third world. if a first world citizen willimitate us, by extension he becomes thrid worldly. and nobody wants to look poor.

korea and japan are industrialized countries, so they have the power to influence other countries.

i might have to disagree to the notion that we are still trying to find our identity…Filipino youth today are very much established…we know what is right and what is wrong and we definitely stand up for what we believe in…when it comes to fashion, i strongly believe that young Filipino designers today have the creativity to create clothes that are nationalistic in nature…all they need (i guess) is the right “exposure”, if you will, to international market…i mean there are too few opportunities for Filipino designers to show what they are capable of doing…

if their designs are marketed internationally, and foreigners buy the idea, then i guess our kababayans will do the same…after all most Filipinos love imported products as some of you have said….imported products that are locally produced????…hahaha…get the idea???
