After dressing up actress and recording star Maymay Entrata in last year’s ball, he agrees with fans and netizens saying that Maymay has what it takes to become the country’s next top model.
“Her physique is like a model’s so it’s very easy to dress her up… She’s so skinny,” Mark remarked.
He said last year’s ball was a “Cinderella moment” for Maymay, whose red carpet photo at the ball, where she wore a white, sequined Bumgarner creation beside her love team partner Edward Barber, was liked by supermodel and “America’s Top Model” franchise founder Tyra Banks.
Mark shared that it took him and his team two months to create Maymay’s boat-neck gown as it was mostly done by hand.
“She really carried the gown very well!” Mark enthused. — Video by EC Toledo IV
