MEGAMORPHOSIS

MANILA, Philippines - MEGA Magazine, the Philippines’ best and pioneer glossy fashion magazine, celebrated two strong decades in the industry with the grand finale of the MEGA Young Designers Competition (YDC) 2012 at the NBC Tent.

MEGA founder and editor-in-chief Sari Yap, shares: “I believe in tradition. The MEGA Young Designers Competition is one such thing. When we started it in 1994, it was to create a platform to discover new talent. Back then, to break into the fashion industry was very difficult and there were very few avenues to generate buzz. Today, it’s a very different picture, there are so many fashion schools and designing has become a go-to career for a lot of young people. Although the barrier to entry is not as difficult as before, we still wanted to find these stars and teach them the right skills.”
