Last Sunday, 6 April, renowned fashion designer Michael Leyva took over the Peninsula Lobby showcasing his bridal and couture collection as the grand finale of “Weddings at The Peninsula and More.” The iconic and historical lobby was transformed into a wedding setting fitting for Leyva’s “Memoria ng Hardin” — a personal tribute to his late brother fashion designer Bryan Leyva. “Every stitch, fold, and delicate detail is a labor of love,” shared Michael. “This collection is a narrative of gratitude, remembrance, and celebration.”
The well-attended exclusive show welcomed top personalities, celebrities, wedding industry leaders and members of the press.
“We are honored to have hosted Michael Leyva’s extraordinary showcase in our lobby — an iconic space that has witnessed countless milestones,” said Kevin Tsang, managing director of The Peninsula Manila.
Michael Leyva continues to tell powerful stories through fashion — his pieces are more than design; they are legacies of love, emotion and artistry.
