Business icon and Consul General of Austria Washington Sycip making his way across the catwalk in a pink barong. Lovely lady ambassadors strutting their stylish side. Gentlemen ambassadors looking dapper in colored barongs, with their wives stunning the crowd in their elegant Filipiniana ensembles. And finally, His Excellency US Ambassador Harry Thomas Jr. gamely doing the twist in a red silken Kultura Filipino number.

With such scenes on the runway, there can be no doubt that the fashion show-for-a-cause, co-organized by the International Bazaar Foundation (IBF) and the Spouses of Heads of Mission (SHOM) at the ballroom of the Marriot Hotel Manila, was like no other.
