We have to talk about that gown!
World-renowned Filipino fashion designer Francis Libiran is the man behind the avant-garde Philippine terno worn by Kylie Verzosa at the 56th Miss International beauty pageant, which she won on Thurs (Oct 27) evening.
The detailed gold gown was inspired by the intricate carvings of San Agustin Church, the oldest church in the Philippines, Libiran said when he shared a photo of his sketch. About 10 weeks ago, he posted a photo with Kylie.
The celebrated Filipino designer has outfitted Hollywood personalities like Gwen Stefani, Angela Basset, and Nikki Reed.
In the local scene, he is a favorite of brides. He is set to dress up Kaye Abad on her wedding day in Dec.
Libiran has also dressed other beauty queens like the 2015 Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach.
He was also responsible for the blue gown that Kylie wore for the Binibining Pilipinas 2016 pageant earlier this year.
