Celebrating its fourth year, The Elegant Filipina was held at the Diamond Hotel ballroom with a stel\u00adlar lineup. In her welcome speech, chairperson Fortune said, \u201cWhen we started this work in 2015, we determined that a model of elegance builds and leaves behind a legacy of grace, wisdom and compassion and, above all, their goal is to make a posi\u00adtive contribution in their re\u00adspective communities.\u201d The ladies were selected by a committee imbued with Coco Chanel<\/strong>\u2019s belief that the inner self should be as beautiful as their appearance and that, through their examples, they en\u00adcourage others to take steps, how\u00adever small, to work for the betterment of our world.<\/p>\n

The 10 women of elegance select\u00aded for their style, grace, compas\u00adsion, wisdom, and intelligence were KC Concepcion<\/strong>, Stepha\u00adnie Zubiri-Crespi<\/strong>, Apples Aberin<\/strong>, Jessica Kienle Max\u00adwell<\/strong>, Marga Montemayor Nograles<\/strong>, Mai Mai Co\u00adjuangco<\/strong>, Kai Lim<\/strong>, Carla Guevara Laforteza<\/strong>, Dr. Di\u00adane Cua<\/strong>, and Small Laude<\/strong>. The premier showcase of cutting-edge designer Albert Andrada <\/strong>introduced his ex\u00adciting London and New York collection. His evening wear moved in a sophisticated new light, with updated twists on fashion classics.THE Elegant
