Wazzup Pilipinas!
Noted fashion columnist, editor and International Best Dressed List hall of Fame awardee Diana Vreeland worked for fashion magazines Harper's Bazaar and Vogue and as a special consultant at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She was a major force in shaping culture, style, taste and even language for all time.
Our favorite antagonist and the most sophisticated "kontrabida" of Philippine cinema who made life miserable for Sharon Cuneta during the old days at the very memorable role at "Bituing Walang Ningning" along with her famous line "You're nothing a but a second-rate, trying hard copy-cat!" will play Diana Vreeland in Mary Louise Wilson and Mark Hampton's Full Gallop - a play that focus on the life of the fashion doyenne who stood at the center of American style for five decades. The play is a portrait of this remarkable woman at a turning point in her life.
At a presscon held at Salon De Ning located at the Manila Peninsula hotel, Cherie Gil shared with us her excitement in playing the role of Diana Vreeland. She was joined by Director Bart Guingona, fashion designer Rajo Laurel, celebrity Giselle Toengi and make-up and hairstylist Ruben Nazareth.
