W@W chat ;-)

If you want to know me more?

Listen to this ;-)

about this episode: This week’s guest is designer Veejay Floresca — a celebrity in his own right having been one of the Final 3 in the 1st season of Project Runway Philippines. That season's wedding challenge proved to be fortuitous to him even if he didn’t win that particular episode. But netizens will probably remember him more thru this screencap below taken from this reaction video he did with his friends that went viral worldwide after the Miss Universe telecast a couple of years ago.

We chatted with Veejay about these media exposures. We also talked about his career and his plans for the future. The heart of our chat is when we talked about family (pang ‘Maalaala Mo Kaya,’ he quips), especially when he was talking about his loving mom.

Rachelle

I simply don't know how to start writing this post because Rachelle is one of the most memorable bride's I've had ;-) She's beautiful and thoughtful!! I can write so many good things about this woman. The list goes on and on.. She's very kind.. understanding.. you can feel that she really respects me as her designer.. warm.. generous.. funny.. and someone you can share your feelings with. She's so adorable! ;-) She's a true friend! ;-)

Her wedding gown is a fusion of lines, textures, and volume. She's not a bride who fancy lace and ruffles.. In this kind of business, I've met a lot of different brides and sometimes I get really crazy talking to each of them because they think differently, and they have different personalities and preferences ;-) But it is FUN! ;-)

At the end of the day, my objective is to make them happy and satisfied ;-)

Rita

I've done several wedding gowns already and I get really excited every time a bride comes to me asking for something different and unique. I love challenges!! :-) haha..

Rita is definitely a unique bride. She has a very tight schedule because she works as a Flight Attendant ;-) Yup, she's sexy, beautiful, really gorgeous! I was so excited when I first met her at Coffee Bean in Greenbelt around 3:00 AM! haha.. yes! super late coz that's her only available time and she's flying in the morning ;-)

She wanted a gown that's sexy, elegant, modern and very feminine. I made her a contemporary wedding gown made of French lace with embroidery accents. I super love the sheer tulle skirt and low low low back ;-) haha ;-) I also made her a beaded fluffy tulle mini dress for the reception! :-)

Veejay Floresca A/W 2012

I'm here in the business for 5 years and I still love what I'm doing.
Designing is my passion. It is exciting and very fulfilling especially when people appreciate what you've done.

Last week, I was honored to be chosen as the guest designer for Mega Young Designers Competition (YDC) Grand Finale at NBC Tent. This is considered to be one of the most awaited shows in Philippine Fashion. Many successful designers started their career when they joined this competition. Some noted designers are Rajo Laurel, Mich Dulce, Ivarluski Aseron, Aries Lagat and Furne One. I was a former finalist (Batch 2006) and to show again, as an alumnus, was another milestone for me. Thank you Mega for this opportunity, it's very special because it was also their 20th Anniversary celebration!


This was my collection last 2006 entitled "In Her Womb" inspired by the beautiful shape of motherhood. The theme for that year was "Shape of the New Future."

When I was asked to create a 10-pc capsule collection, I was very excited, but I didn't know which idea to present. I've done several collections ago, and this time, I wanted to create something different.

I took inspiration from the Circulatory System. I got inspired with veins, arteries, blood vessels, and capillaries. I wanted to achieve a look that's very sensual, strong, contemporary, and powerful.





I wish there will be future VJF brides who would ask me to do wedding gowns inspired by this collection. This idea can be translated to a beautiful wedding gown ;-) don't you agree? I remember one client told me the reason why she booked me. She loved my ideas and how I think. She said that in every collection I make, there's always a concept behind it, a story to tell.

Fashion is freedom. Everything is possible. ;-)

Happy Valentine's Day

Who would have thought that "red" can be a unique accent in a wedding gown. A special request from the bride ;-) Since it's a LOVE month, I would like to share this beautiful wedding of my clients from Singapore, Emon and Mhaye. ;-)

My Second Time in Sydney ;-)

Being a Fashion Designer is 90% hardwork, 10% glamour, and 100% FUN!!!!! ;-)

Few weeks ago, I got another chance to fly to Sydney, all-expense paid by super generous clients ;-) They paid my air fare tickets and hotel accommodation for 7 days!!!!! ;-) Since all of them are based there, the bride asked me to just go there instead. What a great idea! ;-) *wink* THANK YOU!

I had so much fun! SUPER!!!! It's kinda sad because I really liked to extend hahaha, but I had plenty of works to do in Manila. However, it was a very productive trip. I met my lovely clients, attended a beautiful wedding, partied with friends, and simply enjoyed the beautiful city. I went to Bondi beach, saw the famous Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, super party in Oxford street till 9am, and lots of eating, eating, and eating!!!!! hahaha.. I loveeeeeee my job! ;-)

Thank you to Audey and Ryan for sponsoring this amazing trip ;-) I couldn't thank you more!
