GQ Philippines: Can you tell us about the look you wore to the [Yohji Yamamoto] show? Was there anything in particular you loved about it?
Eric: The highlights of my look for the Yohji Yamamoto show were definitely the oversized shirt and jacket. I also loved how the pants were tucked into the boots. It really brought the whole outfit together, and I loved every detail from head to toe!
How long did it take you to get ready for the show? Do you have any special pre-event rituals or routines? When it comes to your hair, makeup, and styling, are there any particular details you pay extra attention to?
It took me about an hour and a half to get ready for the show. I don’t really have any special pre-event rituals, but I do like putting on a face mask the night before and wearing a fresh pair of socks.
On the morning of the show, I actually woke up early and went for a run around Paris. I think it helped with the puffiness, and I felt really refreshed afterward!
For my hair, I usually prefer less volume and more natural texture. When it comes to makeup, I like to keep my skin look a little brighter and emphasize the mole under my left eye to stand out.
