It was an unusually cold summer night in Westlake, California, but Westlake Magazine managed to turn up the heat in a celebration of fashion and fast cars with a petite Filipina and her beautiful dresses at the center of attention.
Underneath the glare of the spotlight and flashing cameras, Pia Gladys Perey was full of energy, giving hardly any hint she had no sleep the past three days. As her models sashayed around her, wearing her latest take on her trademark drape designs, she was still on a high from unveiling this very collection at the 2017 New York Fashion Week.
