The first and last Miss Cebu winners face off The colorful world of Lean Reboja’s nightmares

Fashion designer Ricardo Preto first exhibited his collections under his eponymous label at the Lisbon Fashion Week in 2007, and has since been a veteran of the Lisbon and Vienna Fashion Weeks. His encompassing designs for women’s and menswear RTW, bags, and shoes have seen runway success multiple times, prompting brands such as Levi’s, Energie, and Nike to seek his expertise.

In the Philippines, Preto recently showcased his exclusive collections in a series of fashion shows in partnership with Rustan’s. Last May 20, honored guests were invited to Rustan’s Cebu for a styling session with the designer himself, who offered fascinating insights to help guests discover their personal style. The event was held in cooperation with partner brands Casa de Memoria, Laura Mercier, NARS, Phyto, Ralph’s Wine and Spirits, and Tiffany & Windsor.
