Working with the team that was responsible for the iconic looks of Binibining Pilipinas Intercontinental 2022 Gabrielle Basiano. The dress is also another masterpiece of designers Ken Batino and Jevin Salaysay.
Incorporating sustainability and resourcefulness to the piece, the gown is amazingly made up of a whopping 5000 safety pins. Surrounding the gown’s bodice, its intricate designs are meant to convey the message “We Hold The Earth Together”.
Providing the right amount of appeal and class, not only does the gown fit Yllana flawlessly, but it also embodies the values of Miss Philippines Earth perfectly.
With the global competition happening in Vietnam, we’re very excited to witness what Yllana and her team will be preparing.
Congratulations and good luck to our new Eco Queen for her new journey! It might be too early to predict but we can already feel that she has what it takes to win. Here’s to hoping for our fifth Miss Earth crown!
