Project Runway airs finale July 1

-

In a twist none of the contestant­s expected, for

the first time in Project Runway Philippine­s history, four designers will be heading to the Final Runway. Tune in tomorrow, July 1, at 8 p.m. on etc to see Milka Quin Redoble, Cheetah Rivera, Nel Claveria Jr., and Amor Albano as they compete to be

Project Runway Philippine­s Season 3 champion.

Milka, a 34-year-old online fashion entreprene­ur from Pasig City, establishe­d herself as an early favorite when she wowed judges with her “but and inginspire­d” dress and elegant

jumpsuit to win the first and third challenges. Having started on a high, Milka

enters the finale having placed in the bottom group of designers for the past two challenges; will she be able to redeem herself at the Final Runway?

Cheetah, a 24-year-old fashion designer from Manila, had a rocky start on the show. In the food-inspired challenge Cheetah found herself for the first time in risk of eliminatio­n only to bounce back to win the next three challenges and a spot in the finale. Her ingénue with material, out-of-the-box design aesthetic and winning streak makes her a favorite entering the Final Runway.

Nel, a 30-year-old overseasba­sed fashion designer from Camarines Sur, impressed judges to score his only challenge win in the second episode of the season with his binakol made dress. After that he found himself facing the judges as part of the bottom group of designers three more times prior to earning his spot in

the final four. With a strong technique in constructi­on, what surprises does Nel, the season’s dark horse, have up his sleeve for his Final Collection?

Amor, a 28- year- old fashion designer from Laoag City, was struck by home sickness early on in the competitio­n as she appealed to the judges to let her go home. Refusing to let her leave as they saw potential in her work, Amor then continued on in the competitio­n to win the men’s clothing challenge with her futuristic hoodie vest. The judges have proven to Amor that her plea to quit would have been a big mistake as she would have missed out the chance to show a collection at Project

Runway Philippine­s Final
