Mega YDC 2013 Premiere Party

Last Monday, Mega YDC premiered on ETC and I attended their premiere party at 7th High.

Finally! Something to watch on TV.

I am so proud of Rona and Joy for being a part of this competition since it will definitely push them to their limits and will also showcase their craft on a much grander scale.

Rona and I arrived early on the venue because she doesn't want to be late. Since it's too early, I took photos to relieve myself from boredom.

The early bird's eye view.

I also loved the display of the show's mentors at the entrance. Their clothes clearly reflected their house's distinct aesthetic.

Unlike last year, this is the Mega YDC All-Stars Edition which means that aside from the 12 young designers, the show will also feature 4 established designers as their mentor throughout the competition. I'll elaborate on the show's format on my next entry which will be a recap/review of their first episode.

I also like that we will see more of Ms. G. Tongi on TV. I remember watching her on Piaf and I immediately loved her new look. That blonde hair is so fierce!

I also got excited when I realized that the Emmy Award-winning producer, Michael Carandang is working on this show. This only means two words: Good TV.

After the program, I just have to have a photo op with Ms. G Tongi. She is so rocking her fabulous couture.

What's party without your friends right? Here are some pictures with my friends and the other contestants.

Before going leaving the party, Mega also gave us some freebies. Who doesn't like freebies after a party?

Like what I said, my next post will be a recap/review of their first episode so please come back to read my insights about the show.

Au revoir for now!
