This collection celebrates my identity as a designer and defines the future of my brand—an elevated fashion house dedicated to evening wear and special-occasion pieces that honor diversity and champion fashion inclusivity.
Winning Project Runway as the first Filipino transgender woman is not only a personal milestone, but a meaningful achievement for my community. It opened doors to new opportunities, including my debut collection at New York Fashion Week with the support of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA).
I extend my deepest gratitude to the CFDA for this extraordinary opportunity to present my first solo show.
To the Project Runway family, thank you for believing in me, trusting my vision, and giving me the platform to share my talent with the world.
To my agency and my entire team—your dedication, excellence, and unwavering support made this possible.
To my family—especially my dearest mother—my fiancé, and my friends: thank you for your constant love, encouragement, and strength.
To my valued clients, thank you for your continued trust in my brand and for supporting my passion. To my generous sponsors, thank you for your belief, partnership, and support.
And to all of you who came today to support my debut solo show, thank you for sharing your time—your presence means so much.
