For someone his age, he sure has the credibility of someone far beyond his years. With his social skills and diverse personality its impossible for success and opportunities not to open up for him. It quite a feat for what success Fabgelous has already achieved that most of us could only dream about.

Gelo Arucan’s Style & Blog Tips:

1. Know your favorite things and incorporate it in your outfits so it reflects something about yourself.

2. Its okay to repeat clothes but never outfits. so keep on recycling your clothes. If you have a favorite shirt go ahead, mix and match it with other pieces so in that way you save money and you still have tons of clothes to mix and match.

3, Write whatever you want to write and don’t care about anything else. Your Blog is suppose to be you; just care about yourself and don’t mind what others might think.

4. Be Yourself. Your obligation to yourself is to be yourself; dress whatever you want. Don’t follow trends; if everyone else is wearing Doc Marten’s but you love wearing Chuck Taylors then go ahead and wear your Chucks. You should always make yourself shine.

Visit Gelo’s online styling portfolio at http://fabgelous.livejournal.com/ and be impressed. Meanwhile, here are some of his styling works in which he collaborated with several other talented artists in the industry.

What’s impressing about his way of styling is that it’s not the usual and safe ideas, but he conceptualizes and delivers his work to the extremes. He is a risk taker and its not a question why or how people can’t be stunned with his skill.

Its a fact that David Guison isn’t your typical average college kid for four reasons: First, he is ranked #13 on international site, Lookbook.nu out of over 19,947++ users in the Philippines.  Second, at the age of 19, he has been featured in over sixty blogs in the country(not counting magazine features). Third, his own personal blog, DG MNL, has over-flowing followers many bloggers can only afford to dream about and has around 315,250 hits. And oh, did we mention he is the one and only male brand ambassador of the international clothing line, FOREVER 21? Yes he is, along with other world-famous bloggers such as Tricia Gosingtian & Patricia Prieto. His Twitter Account sky rockets to a number of 3,341 followers. That’s quite a feat of miles for a boy his age.

The 108, ABMMA Student started blogging about a year ago his parents got him a camera that inspired him to take photographs, he was pleased enough with his works that it fueled him enough to share it to the world.  Lookbook was introduced to him by his friend and it is through it that he got noticed as his popularity soared to the point where Forever21 called him up and wanted him to be one of their ambassadors! That’s truly spectacular. Just like any of us, he has tried dancing & even modeling which didn’t work out and he can’t sing as well. Despite the failed attempt, David does prove to us that there is always other brighter opportunities out there when we keep pushing.

In spite the fame, David Guison remains down to earth, warm and welcoming that we found it very delightful when we sat down and had the interview with him. Despite his hectic schedule between school and work(he also works as a Photographer for the Lifestyle Section of Inquirer Newspaper and STATUS Magazine), he still managed to have a little chat with us as he talked about his favorite, The Crispy Chicken Fillet from McDonalds. This interview video is a must see! David Guison is definitely one person you should meet.

Quick Fact: David was the first person who got the SDA Talent Tag Line(“…and you are watching The SDA Talent, Real Art by Real Artists) at the end of every video correct and perfect with all the swag on the first take! Unfortunately, file crashed. :| we apologize guys.. Anyway, this is also the first time we are including behind the scene footage and bloopers of our interviews! It is such an honor to have him featured.
