I must first say that 90 percent of what I know comes from my role model in life, Chona Recto Ysmael Kasten; the rest from observations and actual experiences, from her childhood, throughout her growing years and her marriage to Daddy Johnny Ysmael, her role as mother, followed by the peak of her social whirls and travels, a failed second marriage to Hans Kasten, her fashion consultancy with Aguinaldo’s, her stint with PAL, and as designer for Panache, her exclusive pret-a-porter line for Rustans.
