MANILA, Philippines - Soon, another aspiring Filipino designer will be thrust into the super highway of Philippine Fashion.
On Tuesday, 7 p.m., the eighth Awards Night of the MEGA Young Designers Competition (YDC), will take place at the grand Isla Ballroom of Edsa Shangri-La Hotel. This year, eight budding talents will enjoy the limelight via a runway show directed by Jackie C. Aquino.
