A Vision of Romance by Bessie Besana
Renowned Filipino designer based in New York Bessie Besana took center stage with his latest collection, Ray of Twilight — a 20-piece bridal couture series inspired by the fleeting beauty of dusk. Known for his impeccable craftsmanship, Besana’s journey from engineering to fashion has seen him dress some of the country’s most celebrated figures, including Pia Wurtzbach, Regine Velasquez, and Sarah Geronimo. His designs have graced weddings across the U.S., U.K., Mexico, Austria, and Colombia, making him a sought-after name in bridal couture.
The show’s grand finale was a heartfelt moment, as Miss World Philippines Tourism 2022 and Century Tuna Superbods 2024 winner, Justine Felizarta, walked hand-in-hand with her boyfriend, restaurateur Ben Arnold, in a scene reminiscent of a real wedding ceremony.
