JAWORSKI: SENATOR, ACTOR, BASKETBALL STAR, FASHION DESIGNER
Manila, Sept. 21, 1998- Very few people know it, but Senator Robert Jaworski, the most enduring legend in Philippine basketball, has been a fashion designer for 11 years. Jawo's Menswear and Clothing has been his business all those years, known only to his family and closest friends.
That secret is now out of the closet, so to speak, thanks to Malaya's Nena Villanueva who spilled the beans in her column yesterday.
"It's been there for all those years, but marketing and promotions were not in full blast. It's only now that I've decided to use my name. I know that we can produce world-class goods like jeans, slacks, polo shirts, sports and casual shorts, tees and caps," said the neophyte solon. "Our products are much cheaper than those signature items like Polo or Ralph Lauren."
Still young-looking and with movie-star looks, Jaworski has big plans for his clothing line. "I plan to market these goods internationally, which is actually just a step away especially now with the Internet and other advancement in technology," he adds.
Jawo's clothing line will be showcased at a special fashion show on October 4 at the Entertainment Plaza, SM City. But naturally, the players of Team Ginebra will parade down the ramp showing off their former coach's creations to full advantage. Top male models will also join the show.
