A dress for a special occasion serves two purposes: to shine and to create unforgettable memories.

Take, for instance, cocktail dresses, where guests try to find what style best shows who they truly are. At a wedding, the bridal dress is the pièce de résistance. It’s what everyone will see and remember for years to come. Every dress has its own identity, and Maizy Colleen is one designer who has honed the craft of making dresses that send the whole room into awe. Or at least that’s what we certainly felt when Manila Bulletin Lifestyle witnessed her dresses shine on the runway during Westin Manila’s Yours, Truly Celebration Fair gala dinner and fashion show.

“I've always felt that what we wear has the power to seal a moment in time,” shares Maizy. “A dress isn't just a fabric; it becomes a part of the story.” In the collections shown throughout the night, every dress had an aura that made it almost impossible to look away. Our favorites were two dresses from the TingHun collection, which felt like dresses pulled straight from a Wong Kar-wai wardrobe. Eyes are quickly drawn toward the vivid redness of the dresses, as well as the intricate floral designs. Meanwhile, the bridal and formal collections find a way to pop out in subtle manners.
