As a teacher, it breaks my heart when I see the hard work of my students put to waste. I can only imagine the disappointment of the students and mentors of the fashion design schools when they received news earlier today that RISQ, a fashion show/design competition scheduled to be staged tomorrow at the World Trade Center, was cancelled.
This fashion show/design competition was conceptualized by two entrepreneurs, Ms. Kristine Soguilon, President and CEO of Indios Bravos Multimedia, and Ms. Cristina Tanseco-Guerrero, Managing Director of Ideal Events International. The competition promised its winner prizes including cash amounting to One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Pesos (P150,000), a fashion business start-up portfolio, and features in major broadsheets and fashion magazines.
Ms. Soguilon informed participating fashion schools that the event tomorrow will no longer push through because her investor backed out. The mentors of the fashion schools were devastated to hear the sad news. They feel bad for the time, effort and money that their students have invested in the past months preparing for the much anticipated competition.
As producers, they should be accountable to the all the participants involved in the said event. It is not the problem of the participants if they did not raise enough funds. Cancelling the event a day before because of the said reason is totally unacceptable.
