Rafe x Bench 2019

Yesterday was a beautiful one for a fashion show! I went to Day 1 of the Bench Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2019 presentation at Bench Tower to see the trends of the season.

It was a proud moment for me as well because my designer friend Rafe New York designed a special collab with Bench, just in time for the summer.

His collection is marked by bold colors and gumamela prints which are perfect for day-to-night styling.

His clothes also have an androgynous feel, and they also look and feel timeless.

I am happy that Rafe continues to make a stylish impact in the Philippines, and the world. His designs are wearable but still stunning. I can’t wait to see how his new collection will translate to everyday wear.

I had a fun time watching the show and buying key pieces from the collection for me and my family.

It was a treat to see local celebrities on the runway! Gabbi Garcia was stunning in Rafe’s clothes.

Kisses Delavin made the gumamela print preppy.
