...the Cebu designers in Macau

Cebu designers take center stage at Macau fashion show

Two Cebu-based fashion designers earned accolades as they made their international debut last weekend at a fashion show in Macau.

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) modeled the creations of designers Dino Lloren and Noreen Tseng at the show dubbed "A Night to Remember" last September 2 and 3 at the Star World Hotel in Macau.




"The Philippine Consulate General in Macau reported that the main attractions for the night were the fashion accessories designed by Noreen Tseng from Cebu, who has her own line of accessories under the name Tseng," the DFA said in a news release.

Star World Hotel Resident Manager Luis Lobo said the show was an "all-Filipino production" with the hotel's Filipino staff involved in every aspect of the show, the DFA said.

Lloren made a name for himself as part of Cebu's fashion house "En Sepia" where he has been serving as a Senior Design Consultant since 1996. He specializes in bridal wear, evening wear, and corporate attire.

On the other hand, Tseng made a name for herself when she won the 2008 Cebu Fashion Accessory Design Competition (CFADC) and the Zee magazine's Editor's Choice Award in the Professional Designers category.

Tseng described her pieces as sophisticated and modern, and best worn with simple clothes for a chic, effortless look.

For the fashion show, she prepared a lineup of accessories made from various materials such as glass, metal, and resin, the DFA said.

"Macau has become an attractive market place for signature products, modern fashion and accessories of high quality and elegance," the DFA noted. - VVP, GMA News
