Friends and fanily are taking part in a nine-day novena for the fashion designer Pepito Albert, who died Saturday at the age of 63.
Having befriended Albert in the late ’90s, when she had formed the Fashion and Design Council of the Philippines, Natori said, “He was one of the leading designers in the Philippines. He had a very modern and clean approach. He was quite looked-up to. He had an amazing taste level and dressed a lot of the society women, including the first lady [Liza Araneta Marcos] over the inauguration.”
In the late ’80s, Albert explained that his aim was to make women look smart, powerful and avant-garde, but not vulgar. After starting his eponymous company in 1987, the designer favored accentuated waistlines, narrow silhouettes, clean geometric lines, transparent touches and the occasional Grace Kelly-inspired sunglasses for added panache.
Albert’s preferred accessory of choice was a Spanish fan that seemed to be a wink at his elusive public persona. Testimony to that was his preference for group shows versus solo ones. Despite that, he had a loyal following of high-profile clients, including the actress Dawn Zulueta-Lagdameo. In February, he participated in a group show at the Pintô Art Museum titled “Algodon” with JC Buendia, Tonichi Nocom, Barba, and Randy Ortiz. He was also partial to the model Jo Ann Bitagcol.
