A creation of Cebu-based fashion designer Axel Que, the costume takes inspiration from the Goddess of Flores. Naming it “Bighari”.
Bright and colorful, the costume’s pallet consists of the hues purple, yellow, and green. Featuring a variety of flower details, patterns, and embroideries, the costume blooms from its bodice up to its head dress.
With Annabelle’s sweet demeanor as well as costume’s immaculate design, the costume fits with the Miss Charm brand very well.
A sought-after designer among pageant queens, Que has created some of the most elaborate and stunning pieces. These includes national costumes for Miss Universe Philippines 2021 Beatrice Luigi Gomez and Miss Eco Teen Philippines 2022 Beatriz McLelland to name a few.
Kudos for Axel and Annabelle for a beautiful collaboration!
The finals of Miss Charm 2023 will take place in Vietnam on February 16. Around 40 candidates are vying to win the crown.
