SWATCH ENDORSERS LUIS MANZANO, MATTEO GUIDICELLI HOST FACE-OFF OOTD CEBU EDITION

Converse sponsors another fun fashion show–this time with Cebu’s stylistas

Inquirer Lifestyle and LOOKbook’s successful 2017 Face-Off OOTD (Outfit of the Day) goes to SMSeaside City Cebu on Sept. 27.

Like last March, Face-Off will be sponsored by Converse. For the first time, Swatch is sponsoring the Cebu edition, with Swatch endorsers Matteo Guidicelli and Luis Manzano as hosts.

Cebu is Guidicelli’s hometown, where he held a smash concert last year.

The Face-Off Cebu is supported by Vivo and Philippine Airlines, as well as by Salon de Rose and Cebu Daily News.

The Cebu edition builds on the success of 2017 “Face-Off OOTD” held in Metro Manila last March.

It was a departure from the structured shows in that it was fun, sponta- neous—and, most important, the clothes were worn not by professional models but by the style advocates of designers—their outfit of the day.

The fun concept will be replicated in the dynamic setting that is Cebu.

The designers who will present their style alter egos are the Fashion Council of Cebu’s Philip Rodriguez, Arcy Gayatin, Jun Escario, Cary Santiago, Edwin Ao, Oj Hofer, Yvonne Quisumbing, Philip Tampus, Albert Arriba, Mia Arcenas, Dino Lloren, Jules Oliva, Mickey Yap Ching, Protacio Empaces and LOOK of Style Award (Losa) winner Rei Escario.

Their style sets will be young, dynamic Cebuanos—from artists, entrepreneurs to bloggers.

Style-watching and people-watching will be fun.
