“We are so glad, honored and grateful that Maine Mendoza and her official stylists, Stylized Studio, Inc., chose a beautiful Francis Libiran dress from our Spring/Summer 2015.
Maine Mendoza’s gown at Eat Bulaga’s Tamang Panahon concert for a cause was bought and paid for by Eat Bulaga Production.
The gown was first previewed during the “Francis Libiran Metrowear Icon” fashion show held at the Edsa Shangri-la in 2013 where we launched an entire 100-piece collection, including the Pink Series.
Our good friend Miss Kim Chiu was generous enough to model this gown for the said fashion show.
This gown has not been worn at any other event by any other celebrity.”
