gian1 Fettile Derelicts By Gian Romano

Gian Romano is the first Fil­ipino designer to show­case his col­lec­tion at Singapore’s Audi Fash­ion Fes­ti­val, together with inter­na­tional design­ers such as Gareth Pugh and Vivi­enne West­wood. Romano recalled, “It’s actu­ally very sur­real to think about it. Being able to show at the same fes­ti­val with Gareth, Chris­t­ian Lacroix and Viviene West­wood. While I was there, noth­ing sunk in. It was fun, but at the same time tir­ing, because every­thing was kind of a blur. But after, come to think of it, it’s very grat­i­fy­ing.” Just five years ago, in 2004, Gian par­tic­i­pated in Philippine’s Mega Young Design­ers Com­pe­ti­tion and received a schol­ar­ship grant to study Menswear Design at Cen­tral St. Mar­tins by the British Coun­cil. He also appren­ticed with Three Asfour, down­town New York’s most con­cep­tual and intel­lec­tual design col­lec­tive. Com­ing a long way since, Romano presents his col­lec­tion enti­tled “Fet­tile Dere­licts” is about dis­placed forms and urban nomads; “tak­ing part inspi­ra­tion from how home­less peo­ple layer clothes dur­ing win­ter and com­ing up with a cer­tain silhouette.”
