Darn late meetings! I so wanted to see Mich Dulce’s latest funkiness and Kate Torralba!
kate torralba is very interesting and colorful in terms of designs…
I like Ms. Kate Torralba and Ms. Rhett Eala. I see a lot of their creations for Candy magazine, especially in their prom issues.
Looks like Kate Torralba is pretty popular.
Loved Cary Santiago ,Louis Claparols and Jun Escario’s collections!
Francis Libiran, no doubt! Definitely a class above the rest!
