Now on its third installment, Velvet Channel's The Best of Hollywood: A Tribute Exhibit held its opening recently at the Archaeology Wing of the Power Plant Mall of Rockwell, and was attended by the most sought-after celebrities and prominent personalities in the world of fashion and entertainment. The event was the second leg – the first being the exclusive screening of the Natalie Portman-starrer Black Swan – in the channel’s events to usher in the live telecast and complete coverage of the 83rd Academy Awards to be hosted by James Franco and Anne Hathaway on February 28, Monday.
The one-of-a-kind exhibit features creative outputs from fifteen creative teams who were tasked to produce fashion editorial-like photos and their interpretations on their assigned Hollywood films. Velvet gathered top photographers and assigned each one of them a Hollywood movie that has made an impact in fashion and style. In turn, these experts behind the shutters chose their own team of stylists and make-up artists/hair stylists. Among the celebrities who were transformed into fashion/movie icons inspired by a character or characters from their assigned award winning movie were BEA ALONZO, HEART EVANGELISTA , DIEGO MAPA, TESSA PRIETO-VALDES, KIM CHIU, MIA AYESA,DIEGO CASTILLO,MEGAN YOUNG, LANCE HOWARD, DANIEL MATSUNAGA, FABIO IDE, HIDEO MURAOKA, DENY BARROS, RICH HERRERA & RICH HARDIN, EMPRESS SCHUCK , ANTON DEL ROSARIO & CHRISTOPHER CAMCAM OF THE PHILIPPINE AZKALS, MAI KAUFMAN, ROCIO OLBES, VANIA ROMOFF, BIANCA ROQUE, ROBBIE CARMONA, ERIK CUA, STEPHEN KU, MITCH MALLI, GP REYES, ZSAZSA PADILLA, JULIA MONTES , DENNIS TRILLO, JEWEL MISCHE and JOHN LLOYD CRUZ.
The celebrities and creative teams had the time of their lives as they teamed up to capture larger than life stills from these Hollywood gems. "I am having so much fun! This is my first time to participate in the Velvet exhibit," said Bea Alonzo in her photo shoot recently held in Manila.
In 2009, Velvet's Tribute to the Oscars grand prize winner was Diether Ocampo as Don Vito Corleone created by their team composed of Paolo Pineda, Bea Constantino, Omar Ermita and Ricky Diokno. In 2010, it was Jericho Rosales and Maricar Reyes' photo as Rick Blaine and Ilsa Lund with their creative team composed of Ria Regino, Kat Cruz and RB Chanco.
