Hello everyone! I’m planning the BEST FILIPINO FASHION SHOWCASE for Chicago Fashion week!

The theme for this show is called “Genesis of Radiance,” which is inspired by the first day of creation. The emergence of light in a dark, motionless world.

A new beginning. A new world. A new hope.

I will be looking for Filipino designers, artists, performers and culinary partners as well! Stay tuned!
