"Cebu craftsmanship still reigns when dreaming up a wedding gown"


To have a dress made so exquisite and beautiful, and to wear it only once, only to stash it in a box thereafter, is unacceptable to designer Oj Hofer.
In a rather forward-thinking interpretation of Inquirer Lifestyle and Samsung’s “2013 Face-off” theme in Cebu last weekend, the Cebuano fashion designer presented two bridal looks that any bride can wear again on special occasions other than her wedding.

“I think it’s démodé to have something made that you can’t wear again,” said Hofer, one of 21 featured bridalwear designers, interpreting the theme “Tomorrow’s Classics Today.” “That’s just wasteful,” he added.

“2013 Face-off,” the fifth year of the series, is a virtual runway showdown of the fashion industry’s best, and comes on the heels of last year’s largest gathering of bridalwear designers in a single show yet, numbering 40. Co-presented with LOOK Magazine and Radisson Blu Cebu, this year’s “Face-off” had 10 designers from Manila and 11 from the host city.

 (In the same event, Samsung also introduced its latest smartphone, the Galaxy S4 Zoom, which was debuted in London only a few weeks prior.)
