Another American-adapted-reality-tv-show will hit the Philippine Television some time this early 2008. Will be aired through the ETC Entertainment Central Cable Channel, Project Runaway Philippines held its audition earlier this year and I bet lots of fashion designer hopefuls tried their luck on this. I was able to watch some episodes (including the final round) of the premier season of America’s Project Runway in which the gay, Jay McCarroll emerged as the winning designer. I actually love the concept of this reality tv series where fashion designers try to make their names resonate in the industry by creating the best clothes given in each challenge. They are usually confined with limited time, materials and theme as they try to outdo and eliminate each other weekly.
I wonder how the local version would do it. Will it be as close as the American TV show or will it be another almost-but-not-quite thing just like the Philippine Next Top Model aired last year? Who will stand as our local version of the supermodel host Heidi Klum, who has practically experienced the best fashions in the industry? And who will be the rightful judges who will adjudicate ala-Tim Gunn, a department chairman at Parsons which is a reputed fashion school in new york. Oh well, let’s just see and find out.
I just hope that the brains behind the local show have the befitting fashion expertise and competence. One whose fashion dexterity wasn’t restricted within the local industry but preferably his aptness is acquired from the best fashion worlds abroad. Probably it would help if they’ll attend or be trained in new york fashion schools. New York is the world’s most happening fashion destination. If a contestant in the show still can, attending a crash course in fashion schools new york would surely make him a run-away winner.
