FRANCIS LIBIRAN DARES TO DREAM

-

Francis Libiran celebrates his 20th year in the industry in “Dare to Dream” on Dec. 2 at City of Dreams. Featuring KZ Tandingan, Erik Santos, Iñigo Pascual and Rachelle Ann Go. Libiran’s 2020 Collection, a 50-piece assemblage inspired by the natural wonders, culture and craftsmans­hip of the Philippine­s is hinged on Libiran’s mastery of layering.

Paying his 20-year success forward, Libiran has involved the young, bright-eyed students from his alma mater, the Fashion Institute of the Philippine­s, in the creation of the Francis Libiran 2020 Collection. He explains: “I wanted to spark inspiratio­n in each student’s imaginatio­n, to find a hook in their hearts and minds so that they feel motivated in the challengin­g path of fashion they are pursuing.” Going beyond the textbooks and tutorials, Libiran personally mentored the students as they went about creating pieces for the collection.

Every purchase of a Francis Libiran Limited Edition Timepiece entitles you to an exclusive free invite to the “Dare To Dream Gala” on Dec. 2 wherein proceeds will be collected for the education and welfare of 75 children from Sitio Kabuhuan in Rodriguez, Rizal in partnershi­p with Operation Blessing Foundation Philippine­s, Inc. through the Bless A Child Project.
