Ultimate collaboration

One of Rabiya’s stylists, Rain Dagala, said, “Super happy raw siya because we were able to achieve getting in touch with designers nationwide. [We also] tapped fresh graduates from Davao, Iloilo, La Union, and Dagupan. Hindi siya palakasan, it’s a matter of what you can bring to the table… it’s a collaboration [between] us and the designers.”

Rabiya and her stylists have been showing her beautifully designed outfits on Instagram, starting with a modern barong with handmade pearl and crystal embellishments. Chino Cristopherson and Marc Rancy worked on her outfit, which was accessorized with LVNA By Drake Dustin earrings.

Aside from her beauty and eye-catching outfits, Rabiya’s team has full faith in her because of her confidence and intellect. Em Millan, also one of Rabiya’s stylists, said, “Her intelligence is really gonna bring us the crown. [It’s] not just the [question and answer] part; she [really] uses her brain and [knows] how to allocate her time.”

Good luck, Queen Rabiya! May you bring back the crown to the Philippines.
