BOYET FAJARDO GOES GLOBAL

The Philippine Daily Inquirer
Lifestyle G2, Nov. 2008

After introducing his means-wear line to the local market early this year, RTW designer Boyet Fajardo has now set his sights over-seas. He’s finalizing separate deals with representatives in Switzerland, New Zealand and United Arab Emirates for them to carry his means suits, blazers, jackets, and neckties made from imported fabrics. “I’m amazed at the public’s warm response to my menswear line,” said Fajardo, who began his career 25 years ago as a fashion illustrator.” At the same time, they’re also amazed with how I manage to keep my prices so unbelievably affordable without sacrificing quality.” The designer offers a wide range of options, from classic cuts in plain colors to trendy designs in different variations. His close attention to fit, he said, enables the wearer to look smart yet feel comfortable even in the midst of a hectic day.

Now that he has established himself doing men’s clothes, there’s no way to go but to tap into the overseas market. He has nothing to lose, he said, but everything to gain. Fajardo turned his back on couture in favor of the more lucrative RTW business in the early ‘90s.

He began by working abroad as an in-house designer for a Singaporean label. Upon his return to the Philippines, he parlayed his experience to establish his own women’s RTW label.” Thanks to my extensive contacts, I was able to rely on a network of regional suppliers and manufacturers, he says. “They’ve enabled me to bring down my prices.”

Before it was common for Filipino manufacturers to have their goods manufactured in China, Fajardo was already flying in and out of that country as he dealt directly with manufacturers. He has since moved the bulk of his operations to Cambodia.

The Boyet Fajardo for men collection is available at a number of Robinsons Department Store branches and at Landmark in Trinoma.

Ang labo!

Syempre defensive, palibhasa buking naman si bading!

Management pa ng DFP ang may kasalanan?! Kapal talaga ng mukha ng mokong na yan. I say, everybody boycott this liar's products.

Grabe naman,- binabaluktot pa ang katotohanan... Ano naman ang motivation ng management na paluhurin ang kanilang empleyado sa isang galit na customer?

Someone has already started a petition against this goon.

Last March 13, 2009, Filipino Fashion Designer Angelino Boyet Fajardo created a scene, to the shock and horror of shoppers and employees of Duty Free Philippines alike, when a cashier politely asked for his ID after presenting his unsigned credit card. This is a standard operating procedure applicable to all stores to verify ownership of the credit card and prevent fraud.

Suddenly, the designer reportedly got furious and, at the top of his voice, started berating the cashiers and managers of Duty Free Philippines. He might have thought a celebrated person like he is, with all his accolades and fame, has gone unrecognized by the cashier. A new well-trained casual worker who is carefully doing his job. The designer further shocked bystanders by cursing the people there with words such as leche and p...ina, while angrily expressing surprise why the people there did not recognize him.

Store managers and officers were sought to appease the matter, explaining to him that it is all included as a standard operating procedure in credit card payment for the safety, not only for the company but also his own. Ignoring all this, he pulled out his phone and threatened to call on high positioned government officials whom he allegedly knew, like doing a power-play to make these people realize how important he is. He went on saying "Mga leche kayo! Hindi niyo ako kilala? Ako si Boyet Fajardo! At itong p...ina na babaeng ito (pointing to a lady officer) at ang baklang ito (pointing to the cashier) ay walang kwentang mga tao! I want them fired!!!"

His yelling and berating went on and on. He cannot calm down and as he appeared to have bloodshot eyes, like that of a drunk person and or under an influence. He threw his passport on the cashier's face and later intentionally stepped on the cashier's foot to say "Ay sorry, di ko sinasadya!" He goes on to say, that only if the cashier kneel down before him and/or allow him to freely slap the cashier's face, may he get satisfied.

The ill-fated cashier, with all the onlookers watching, stand down and just simply gave in to probably he thought would end the matter. Crying in shame he slowly knelt down and apologize (for actually doing his job) before this self proclaimed GOD, perhaps for fear of loosing his job. No slapping was made to the cashier's face but the incident landed a harsher and reverberating sound to the faces of the lesser people of this society.

Fortunately, his inhumane acts were caught on CCTV in which a portion was featured in YouTube.

With such disrespect, discrimination and humiliation towards a good worker, a less fortunate person and a fellow Filipino...

1. We are calling all citizens to stop patronizing Boyet Fajardo's RTW labels such as Substance in SM department stores, Boyet Fajardo and Initials in Landmark and Robinson's department stores.
2. We are calling on all malls to pull out or stop distributing his products in your outlets.
4. We are calling on the Commission on Human Rights, Department of Labor and Employment and all human rights and labor activists to take appropriate legal actions on this matter.
5. We are calling all foreign embassies to deny him of entry to your respective countries.
6. We are calling on the Fashion Designers Association of the Philippines to dishonor him of his membership and profession.

...To give him a lesson and to help us stop him from victimizing the underprivileged over and over and over again.
