MEDIA’S CHOICE. Nepal’s Sujit Lama gets the nod of local scribes, along with Vensam Iala of Guinea Bissau, Lars Kortleven of the Netherlands, and John Paul Ocat of the Philippines. Designer Patrick Isorena gave life to Ocat’s vision, which showcased a large cross pattern across the body, made of cut glass, and a head piece inspired by the roof of the site of Magellan’s Cross.
Indonesia’s Isaac Agung Budiman clinched the silver medal for his costume that showcased an elaborate back piece, and an intricate headdress. Nepal’s Sujit Lama, one of the shortest delegates to arrive, topped the “Media’s Choice” poll, with Vensan Iala of Guinea Bissau and Lars Kortleven of the Netherlands sharing the second spot.
