Over lunch, a capsule collection by Steve de Leon was presented. The show was directed by Oskar Attendido, with the assistance of Michele Sison and Trixie Orobia, in collaboration with events guru Jett Carpio. Entitled “Avante Garde in Filipiniana,” the collection showcased an evolving persona of a Maria Clara look. The finale pieces was worn none other by Mellie’s only daughter, Czarina Ablaza Syquia, who walked the runway in a look inspired by the Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal.
