Scandals
Puey Quiñones
A photo caused a massive uproar in social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. It all started when Kat De Castro (Noli De Castro's daughter) twitted, "The designer asked 30k for this suit. Pero bakit may Dansen tag? Sa SM ito di ba? Napeke kaya yung friend ko? (But why is there a Dansen tag? Isn't that from SM? Was my friend duped?)" She also added, "The designer should really explain why was there a Dansen tag in his so-called original suit."
The beige suit in the picture carried the labels Bobon by Puey Quinones and the off-the-rack brand Dansen. In short the designer, Puey Quiñones didn't really design the suit and just relabeled it but he charged the lady for 30,000 pesos.
In response the designer just non-apologetically commented, "I was simply pressured to create a suit and found a perfect blank canvas to develop. I know the entire situation could have been handled better but now it has just been blown out of proportion and affected so many others."
fugly.
