MANILA, Philippines – On September 24, 7 am, Filipino couch potatoes will be able to watch the annual Emmy awards air live over at Velvet.
The rest of the world will also be watching to know if their favorite TV programs will emerge victorious. (Will “Downton Abbey” beat “Mad Men”? We have to watch to find out!)
Entertainment news program Extra host Maria Menounos covers the Emmys for the show, wearing a gown designed by Filipino designer Oliver Tolentino.
The simple yet classy number is made of Filipino fabric pina dyed in blue.
“They contacted me and I was shocked they suddenly came to the shop,” said Tolentino in an interview with ABS-CBN’s North America News Bureau aired in Umagang Kay Ganda.
Menounos even asked Extra viewers to help her choose between 3 gowns made by the Filipino designer.
“I want the whole world to know that we Filipinos can make beautiful clothes using the local fabric pina,” added Tolentino.
Aside from Menounos, Tolentino has dressed E! News anchor Giuliana Rancic and The Voice judge Cee Lo Green, among other Hollywood celebrities. – Rappler.com
