UP Cebu Design Team For Green Fashion Revolution 2014

I know I've still got a load of back logs but this is a 'first' I'm too excited to share so bahala na yung iba. Makakahintay sila. Haha. And since this is a lengthy post, I'll give you the whole collection of UP Cebu first (cause I'm guessing some people might get lazy to click on "Read More").
Last year, the University of the Philippines - Cebu first joined the Green Fashion Revolution and got 4th place out of 7 schools. I'd say that it was a good start. Back then, joining the contest was considered a plate for 2nd and 3rd year Product Design students. But since this year, non of the Fine Arts professors wanted to make it a plate, the interested students initiated that the university would join the competition again this year. 
Our collection is entitled HABI. Obviously, it's called Habi because we weaved the tarpaulins in different patterns and sew them together with denim, flour sacks and etc. We used more tarp, paper beads and pop tabs for the accessories.
I'm so happy and proud to say that UP Cebu won first place this year! We also won Best Clothing Design.
Without further ado, let me present to you the University of the Philippines Cebu Habi Collection for the Green Fashion Revolution 2014 competition.

To wrap it all up, I'd say this experience was totally a blast. From weeks and weeks of weaving, cutting tiny strips, getting allergies from the dusty tarps, late nights at Room 217, (creepy) Undergrad building, cramming stitches, meeting new people and so on, to the day that we would finally see the models walk "the walk", and UP Cebu bringing home the bacon. This is a "first" I'd be proud to share with anyone.
Cheers to more years of designing!
