Andrea Tetangco defines the new feminine strength at Manila Fashion Week

Soft girl era, but make it couture.

Manila Fashion Week just dropped its inaugural curtain, and Andrea Tetangco came in hot with a debut that felt like a love letter to Filipina elegance.

Andrea Tetangco set the bar way up there. Opening the celebration of Filipino creativity and innovation, Tetangco delivered a collection that was equal parts romantic and powerful. Imagine ethereal textures, sculpted silhouettes, and timeless elegance — the kind of looks that whisper grace but walk with quiet confidence.

“For me, women have always been the heart of everything I create,” Tetangco shared. “Each piece is a love letter — an expression of purity, grace, and strength.” Her debut collection for MNL Fashion Week felt like stepping into a dream where futuristic details met classic Filipina charm. The color palette stayed clean and airy, echoing her theme of purity reimagined.

This collection has emotion, intention, and evolution stitched into every seam.

What a soft yet powerful start to a new era in Filipino fashion.
