<p>Filipino hatmaker Harvy Santos was among who helped create the hats for the blockbuster musical film <em>Wicked.</em></p><p>&quot;I&#x27;m originally from the Philippines. My fascination for costumes started when I was six,&quot; he shared in a video uploaded by Make It Universal on Instagram.</p><p>Harvy used to be a ballet dancer in Hong Kong. He relayed that through the money he earned from dancing, he would buy books on garment construction and costume design.</p><p>Harvy served as a Senior Milliner for <em>Wicked. </em>&quot;Millinery is like sculpture, you start playing with materials. You start playing with cardboards to experiment with shapes,&quot; he explained.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DCsFP9lTIwI/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=446&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A10474028.299999952%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="950" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>&quot;Up &#x27;til this point, it&#x27;s fascinating, it&#x27;s still challenging, and I quite like those challenges &#x27;cause I get to be inventive and creative with it,&quot; he highlighted.</p><p>Harvy expressed his excitement to be part of <em>Wicked</em>. &quot;Every day, I&#x27;m proud of what I have accomplished, and knowing the fact that you are contributing on an epic film, that&#x27;s very exhilarating,&quot; he stated.</p><p><em>Wicked </em>fans online were quick to commend Harvy&#x27;s work for the musical film.</p><p>&quot;Wow...
