Seven young international models – Emmy, Taisha, Grace, Zara, Milan, Avayiah, and Reeha – will travel to the Philippines to take part in a series of exciting runway shows and special events. For these talented kids, it’s not just about modelling; it’s also about making new friends, learning about different cultures, and experiencing the world of fashion in a brand-new country.

The festivities will begin on 11 April at Metro Central Mall. This special anniversary event is being held in partnership with Santa Cruz Laguna Tourism and the Laguna Designers Elite Group.
