What's Mark Up To?

Born in the Philippines, Mark has spent the majority of his life living in Brisbane. Mark's mother packed up her 3 young children (Mark and his two sisters) for a better life in Australia. Mark grew up surrounded by a family of medical practitioners, but never believed that was his own destiny. He experimented with Dance and Drama, with a great lack of success, before realizing his forte was in fashion. Mark studied an Advanced Diploma of Fashion at the Moreton Institute of TAFE, before being offered a position as an Underwear Designer for Bonds. Mark said of this job, that he even surprised himself that he could get sick of looking at bum cracks and crotches.

Mark had great success during his stint on Series 1 of Project Runway Australia and made it through to week 7 before being booted out "way, WAY too early", he says.

Mark is a flamboyant and highly confident character, who uses sarcasm as his main form of humour. He describes himself as a ray of sunshine that always lights up a room. He has a strong "no bullshit policy" and can be outspoken if he thinks someone isn't being straight up. He hates feeling miniscule, undervalued or being put down. Mark describes his style as Modern Eclectic/Urban Street wear, almost 80s Rockabilly, always wears a quiff and loves wearing hoodies and fingerless gloves.

Mark currently resides in Sydney and shares a house with friend and fellow Series 1 Designer Sophie Spalding.

When wrong is oh-so-right

As this Blog Spot may seem to suggest, I can guarantee you that this is nowhere near as adulterous or R-rated as it may sound. On the contrary, I’m talking style, people. You know, the oomph! The joie de’ vivre. The thing that makes people’s head turn and say “Oh my, she looks great” instead of “oh my, she looks like a before shot.” ... more
