According to the famous international designer, many of these celebrities are willing to pay a fortune for expensive European brands.

“So Filipino celebrities and famous influencers are often seen wearing European designer clothes? It seems like they spend a fortune on these items just to keep up with the latest fashion trends,” Michael wrote in his now-expired Instagram post.

“But have you ever stopped to think about why they choose to spend their money on these expensive European brands, rather than supporting our very own Filipino designers?” he asked.

In the report by Philippine Star, Michael then pointed out the irony in how such Pinoy celebrities wear European designer clothes but when it comes to Pinoy designers, they wanted the latter to give it to them for free.

“It's quite ironic how these celebrities proudly wear these designer clothes, but when it comes to Filipino designers, they suddenly want everything custom-made for them for FREE,” the famous international designer said.

Michael then expressed his wish for everyone to start recognizing and supporting Pinoy fashion designers.

“As a society, we need to start recognizing and supporting our own local talents, including fashion designers. They have the potential to create beautiful and unique creations that can rival any European brand,” the famous international designer added.

“So let's give credit where it's due and SUPPORT our Filipino designers. It's time to break the cycle and uplift our own fashion industry,” he further said.

Near the end of his post, Michael indicated that some of the celebrities he’s referring to have tried to get his services in the same manner they would deal with local fashion designers.
