Last Nov. 24, 2023, the Grand Ballroom of City of Dreams Manila was transformed into an arena, ready for the couture works of Francis Libiran for his 25th anniversary. There to witness the grand fashion presentation were his celebrity muses, which include Kim Chiu, Kylie Verzosa, Megan Young, and Mikael Daez, as well as, Sam Milby, KD Estrada, and Alexa Ilacad.
“Sterling” was also a way for Francis to give back to the community. Part of the proceeds from the sale of his latest perfumes will go to his advocacy for children’s welfare, education, and development in partnership with CBN Asia and Operation Blessing Foundation Philippines.
“Celebrating my 25th anniversary as a designer is an incredible milestone filled with gratitude and reflection. It's a testament to the enduring support of clients, collaborators, and the fashion community,” the designer continues. “Staying in the business for this long requires a delicate balance of passion, resilience, and adaptability.
It takes a commitment to continuous learning, a deep connection to one's cultural roots, and an unwavering dedication to craftsmanship. The ability to evolve with the times, embrace change, and infuse each collection with a fresh perspective is essential to longevity in the dynamic world of fashion. This journey has been a remarkable odyssey, and I am excited for the chapters yet to unfold.”
