“Our gown in here is called “OCEAN OBSESSION”.

This gown’s main color is blue which represents ocean and symbolizes serenity, stability, inspiration, and wisdom.

The ocean’s treasures have always offered great riches to humanity.

The pearls in here represents the Philippines that is renowned for cultivating South Sea Pearls, but also produces lovely varieties of white and freshwater pearls. And pearls serves as our national gem. Imbued with a strong spirit of harmony and community.

There are (4) pearls in here representing 4 bodies of water that surrounds the Philippines. West Philippine Sea, Pacific Ocean, Sulu/Celebes Sea, and Bashi Channel.

Research said that ocean trash mainly comes from China, Philippines, and Indonesia. The green net represents ocean trash which is a general term for all the human-created debris that makes its way into the ocean from a variety of methods. About 90 percent of the trash found in the ocean is plastic, and the large amounts of trash are having an impact on marine life and marine ecosystems.

Mermaids/Sirens are another great aquatic form of fashion fodder, whether cartoonish or representing deadly seduction. SJ (model) in here, represents aquatic bodies that are deeply affected by ocean trash.“

“I have always perceived myself as the vast ocean: the crashing waves being my emotions, and the storm as the calamity that blocks me from attaining my peace. With just a single touch, the water will move, faced by misery, and I will be moved. One major fact about me is I feel everything deeply; I am in deep waters.

The only thing they see are the waves crawling gently to the shore–-it is shallow, it is clear–as if all that has been happening offshore is being filtered. Because the darker the colour, the deeper the water is, and that is where all of my tragedies are kept. How I wish to have my own weather forecast to foresee every catastrophe that might enter the waters. When the storm comes, I feel all shades of blue: when it rains it pours, but I have always wondered when will I ever experience the peace and tranquillity side of the colour, since it always has been the sad bit of it. I do not seek for help, I am not able to, it is like I am underwater: my voice is muffled, the water blurs out my vision and clogs my ears. How come that I am the ocean but I am in the ocean as well? Sure, there are days when the water is calm, but I can never be at ease because that period is when it all starts, the calm before the storm, they say.

I can also be still, but still waters run deep. As scary as it may seem, the ocean is not always full of rage, rather it is one of the most beautiful things in the world to ever exist as well as my whole being.”

“The sound of busy streets with the night breeze brushing through my skin while taking a late night walk never ceases to pamper me, what a pleasant way to unwind. A city that does not sleep to keep an eye on its people is something to be treasured dearly. Moonlight that keeps me sane, city lights that remind me of a vast ocean of dazzling stars, and with them, you will never feel alone at hours of darkness.”

“Shall I worship Medusa?” she uttered,
such a beautiful maiden who has suffered.
Mirror, mirror, I see her:
a girl whose past tastes bitter.

Emotions as deep as the vast blue sea;
All she ever wanted was to break free.
At last, a sailor who’s oh so worthy—
He who handles her untamed waves dearly.

“Come, my love,
Let us work our way above.”
Sail through the storm of waves,
a slave of the past that needed to be saved.

Creatures born from people’s mischief,
the symbol of evil and death, said their belief.
Cast, condemn, burn—
A soul that always mourns.
