In an interview with PEP.ph, Gabbi Garcia shares one major factor she considers before buying new clothes: “Ako, it should be something that I can re-wear. Ang important na kasi ng sustainability ngayon. Hindi na talaga dapat yung kada isang gamit, buy na agad.”

Celebrities like Gabbi Garcia often experience stigma when repeating clothes.

For some reason, celebrities and other prominent public figures have been revered to be fashion icons in their own right, with truckloads of fancy outfits neatly stashed in their cabinets, arranged conveniently by brand or color, and ready to be worn to match their moods or other whimsical fancies.

Taken to extremes, some celebrities (guess who?) actually make it a point NOT to repeat any of their outfits, and consider it a MORTAL SIN to be caught wearing any of their past Outfits of the Day (OOTDs).

But Gabbi isn’t buying into that drama.

In fact, the 23-year-old Kapuso actress firmly believes that repeating OOTDs should actually be encouraged.

Asked if she’s scared to be called an outfit-repeater, the former Encantadia actress proudly answered, “No, my gosh! May washing machine kami!”

PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) caught up with Gabbi in an exclusive interview last November 10, 2022, at the grand opening of Urban Revivo in Glorietta 3, Makati.

Gabbi said one of her major conditions when shopping for clothes or buying items from luxury brands is that she can use them multiple times.

She said, “Ako, it should be something that I can re-wear.

“Ang important na kasi ng sustainability ngayon. Hindi na talaga dapat yung kada isang gamit, buy na agad.”
