JC Buendia celebrated his 25th year in the fashion industry with a tribute fashion gala by Metro Society at Grand Ballroom Marriott Hotel, Manila on 27th of August 2012.

He is the current President of Fashion and Design Council of the Philippines, a Filipino fashion icon, a favorite of celebrities and high society.

A brilliant man, with a gift of genius in his creations and master pieces for men and women. Classic yet modern at the same time.

~ Mini Trivia ~ 
How I love to remember a very promising classmate and a dear friend JC Buendia in our College years as Fine Arts Major in Interior Design students at the University of Santo Tomas.

Let me share a few of my many favorite things about this young man. In our classroom, we admired this young man who loves to draw his creative fashion ideas in his notebooks even in our academic subjects. Mind you, as we were all beginners, he was already good in drawing his models. He has an eye for beauty and proportion.

Another one was his skill in sewing, it was seen as early as those days when he was making dresses for our classmate Arene San Gregorio's Barbie Dolls. Arene and our other friends were willing to pay him for those miniature creations. He made extra money from that.


All amateurs have their own untold stories, the very inspired young man had a passion to achieve his beautiful dream. They said, when your heart is in your dream, it will come to you and with his pure heart and his passion and hard work that has brought him to the top.
