World-class talent, Albert Andrada, presents his impressive designs at Paris Fashion Week Couture 2023—the first Filipino to do so!
Filipino talent is set to take centre-stage at Paris Fashion Week Couture 2023. This January 25-26, 2023, Albert Andrada, one of our very own, is set to present a collaboration at the Westin Paris Vendome alongside BaroQco, a jewellery-maker known for creating crowns for Miss Universe Netherlands, Germany, and Singapore.
In fact, one of Andrada's most memorable creations was also for Miss Universe—he was the man behind Pia Wurtzbach's incredible blue dress when she was crowned Miss Universe in 2015.

The haute couture event will shine a spotlight on Filipino creativity and artistry. For years now, Andrada has brought pride to the country as an international creative. Before his appearance at Paris Fashion Week Couture 2023, he was also appointed as a designer for the ruling family in Fujairah, a city in the United Arab Emirates. Now, he will be the first Filipino fashion designer to showcase haute couture designs in a solo show at Paris Fashion Week Couture.
