Vogue Philippines’ first gala did not disappoint, especially with the attendance of these stars who wore an array of black and white ensembles.
There’s no denying that the Filipino fashion scene has had a resurgence, especially with the arrival of Vogue Philippines. Like what the late André Leon Talley once said, there was indeed a “famine of beauty” after several local publications folded in the recent years. But with Vogue now at the forefront, we are overjoyed with the contagious creative energy that once has seen its sunset.
If you think the welcome party had staggering looks that served, the gala was the crown jewel of it all. Whether it was a continuation of the previous night’s spirit of rewear or Filipino fashion, these people brought out their best. As the doors swung open for Vogue Philippines, so have these stars embraced them so willingly in a spectacle of contrasting black and white looks.
