Jeans were jeans were jeans. But not designer jeans. Not DESIGNER jeans! It was a new concept back then and I happened to land in the middle of Manila just at a time when Ready to Wear was about to burst forth in all its glory. Considering that jeans were the new “uniform” then it was about time to inject a bit of pizzazz into the arena. The first good idea I had was to make jeans for women in women’s sizes! Not an outlandish idea but something that hadn’t been done before. Previously they’d have to buy a pair of men’s jeans and have the waist taken in two or three inches. Great for the customer but hell for production double the patterns, double the everything. “How come,” I was asked, “is it REALLY necessary?” “After all.” etc etc etc. Bahala na. How often was I to come across THAT particular expression!
