MEGA Fashion Crew: Full Style Combat

Everyone has witnessed the struggles and triumphs of everyone through all the challenges. Still, friendships and bonds were formed in the course of the competition. Their skills have been tested with their creativity improved. Now, it all boils down to the final judgment for the last ten finalists.

The question is, who makes the final cut to becoming MEGA’s Top Fashion Crew?

The two remaining teams have to first produce a motion editorial. The photographers have to execute their ideas not just in print, but through a video that will establish their edge. The fashion stylists, make-up artists and hair stylists have to produce the look that will work and highlight the photographer’s vision. Last, the model must not just pose for the camera but act out the scenes to complete the motion editorial.

The final challenge is one of the main highlights that will solidify one’s mark in the fashion industry. The team will be tasked to produce a MEGA magazine cover. Being the best fashion magazine, it has always been a great pressure to put together the look of the cover. The cover must convey the content and feel of the entire magazine. The challengers will know first-hand what it takes and what must be done to perfectly execute the glossy cover of a magazine.

This is the final episode that everyone shouldn’t miss!

MEGA Fashion Crew :The Final Stages to Becoming the Best

Weaknesses were overcome, challenges were surpassed, and two teams have survived.

MEGA, the Philippines’ best fashion magazine, has brought out only the best people deserving to be part of the fashion industry. Sixty contenders initially made the cut but only ten remain for the grand finale. With only two episodes left, the battle to reach the top grows more intense.

The last episode gave a glimpse of the journey to becoming the last two teams of the MEGA Fashion Crew. Everyone saw the hardships and victory that all the challengers went through. The remaining teams have reached this far. To prove that they’re the best, a tougher round of challenges will be in store for them.

Will it be the Vanguards or the Fashion Army?

  
Four challenges will be given during the first round. Each challenge will highlight the skills of each member from the hair stylist, make-up artist, fashion stylist, photographer and model. Teams will put together a photo layout for L’Oreal Paris, a beauty shot for Maybelline, a fashion page for FILA and an ad for ZenZest. Each member will lead the teams through the different challenges, highlighting their niche in the industry.

Watch as special guests top model Borgy Manotoc and fashion enthusiast and columnist Tim Yap add the extra flair as they become part of the challenges in this episode.

The four challenges will bring out the different strengths of each member. In the first part of the grand finale, everyone will know the reason why the remaining challengers are still in the game. Their edge in the industry will be further revealed; the creative skills of each will be tested.

But in the end, only one team will be crowned MEGA’s Top Fashion Crew.

Mega Fashion Crew: Return to Temptation

After bringing high fashion to the streets of Manila, the remaining Mega Fashion Crew contestants are faced with the hypnotic – and sometimes dangerous – challenge of temptation. This week, challengers will bring an expression of seduction. Teams will create a stylish look that mirrors the original temptress herself, Eve. 

But how do you pull off a high fashion shoot without clothes? Think Eve and what else was with her in the Garden of Eden? This episode proves juicier than the bite on an apple. Sexiness will be brought to life with another round of surprises. 

With the tantalizing Ms. Tessa Prieto Valdes as a guest judge, viewers will see her take on this sinfully delightful challenge.

Still, it’s not going to be a paradise of dreams for the teams. Some challengers will be eliminated as we inch closer to the grand finale of the show. With only 20 contenders left, only the strongest can survive the strong seduction of failure. 

Catch Generation MEGA Season 2: MEGA Fashion Crew every Saturday at 7pm, with replays on Sundays at 10am, only on ETC.
