MANILA -- Kim Chiu's gown during the 2019 ABS-CBN Ball had another moment in the spotlight as it was worn by a candidate in the Miss Universe Philippines pageant as her national costume. Called Traje de Magdalena, the dress is said to be inspired by Magdalena Leones, a Filipina guerilla fighter who was awarded a World War II Silver Star of Heroism by the US government.
A headdress shaped like a chicken, designed by Jayson Alano, was added to complete the beauty queen's look. The piece represents the Manok-manok festival in Catanduanes. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sigrid Grace Flores on Oct 23, 2020 at 4:09pm PDT In an interview with the entertainment website Pep, Leguiab said it was Flores who chose to wear his Traje De Magdalena dress for the national costume competition of Miss Universe Philippines 2020.
The designer said he offered the pieces he had on hand, and Flores picked the gown worn by Chiu as it was "very similar" to what she envisioned a Catanduanon would wear.In a vlog last year, Chiu shared how she and her team came up with her look for the ABS-CBN Ball."Grabe, parang wala akong masabi," a visibly overwhelmed Chiu said. "Ito talaga 'yung na-imagine namin.
Curious lng po ako sa ladies na nakasuot na something similar to this dress. Ndi po ba kayo nahirapan mag lakad?
Emphasis should be on who designed the gown not on who wore it first. Time to give due credit to the many local fashion designers.
Please keep up the good work winnersbitcoin I was excited when I opened my wallet and saw my earning of $1,954 from a $170 trade. God bless you.
