From Manila to Dubai, Las Vegas to Paris, Albert Andrada is set to make fashion history for the Philippines as he becomes the first Filipino designer to showcase his haute couture designs in a solo show at Paris Fashion Week Couture 2023.
The fashion event, happening from January 25 to 26, at the Westin Paris Vendome, will see Andrada collaborating with BaroQco, a jewelry-maker known for creating crowns for Miss Universe Netherlands, Germany and Singapore.
The partnership between two well-respected names in the fashion industry is a milestone for the Philippines as it presents a perfect opportunity to showcase Filipino creativity and artistry on the venerable and highly publicized Paris runway.
Andrada established his career when he became one of the favorite designers of members of Arab royalty. He was appointed designer of the ruling family in Fujairah of the United Arab Emirates. One of his prominent clients and muses includes Pia Wurtzbach, who wore an iconic blue Andrada creation when she was won Miss Universe 2015 in Las Vegas.
Paris Fashion Week, also known as Semaine de la mode de Paris, is held semi-annually in the French capital as a regular designer presentation featuring designs for spring/summer and autumn/winter. Dates are determined by the French Fashion Federation.
Paris Fashion Week is part of the global “Big 4” fashion events in London; Milan; and New York.
