Mark Bumgarner on dressing Kylie Versoza and Pia Wurtzbach at the 77th Cannes Film Festival
Hi,
The Cannes Film Festival recently culminated its 11-days-long star-studded event, an affair notable for its deserving recognition of the year’s impressive cinematic masterpieces. But more than that, there were head-turning red carpet fashion moments we couldn’t ignore. These include those of Pia Wurtzbach and Kylie Versoza, who took social media by storm with their gowns exquisitely designed by esteemed Filipino fashion designer Mark Bumgarner.
In an exclusive interview with Tatler, Bumgarner breaks down Versoza and Wurtzbach’s custom ensembles for their second time on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet, describing his aesthetic as ‘glamorous with an edge’.
