Sterling by Francis Libiran at the Molo Mansion

Every day is a fashion show and the world is the runway.” – Coco Chanel

The Yusay Mansion, popularly known as the Molo Mansion, was a perfect venue for Sterling, a fashion show featuring the collection of Francis Libiran, in celebration of his 25th anniversary in the Philippine fashion industry.

Francis Libiran is an architect and fashion designer, who studied architecture at the University of Santo Tomas before pursuing a course and career in fashion.

His architectural background showed in his creations. They combined the elements of structure and fluidity. Each piece was a study of contrast: timeless yet modern, opulent but not garish! Indeed, the collection was an interplay of style and empowerment.

  1. Hey there, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues.
    When I look at your blog in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer,
    it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!

    Other then that, great blog!
