MANILA, Philippines - Playing dress up is part of every girl’s childhood — reaching into mom’s closet for that lovely dress, opening her box of jewelry and wearing those sky-high heels. Celebrating this, Paperdolls hosted a night of reminiscing with the presentation of its latest fashion collaboration with designer extraordinaire Kate Torralba.
Gorgeously dolled-up guests entered the Rockwell Tent where a huge dollhouse façade formed the stage with bright pink lights. The cocktail tables were candle-lit and contained a doll, clad in the night’s featured outfits. Upon registering, guests were invited to take the challenge to unclutter their closets for a cause. All the clothing collected from the drive will be donated to the Philippine National Red Cross.
Host Joey Mead invited guests to enliven their inner child. One of the country’s sought-after bands, Up Dharma Down, played their original music as guests enjoyed a sumptuous serving from Cibo and overflowing wine and cocktails from Ralph’s Wines & Spirits and Absolut Vodka. The fashion show was led by Kate Torralba’s muses including Tessa Prieto-Valdes, Divine Lee, Karen Pamintuan, and sisters Maxene and Saab Magalona. Kate Torralba, who equally loves fashion and music, capped the night off with her vocals.
In constant search for original and up-to-date style and as a toast to its 25th year, Paperdolls collaborated with the colorful and vivacious designer Kate Torralba for the KT for Paperdolls collection.
