“Ray of Twilight” is a bridal assemblage and a visionary take on the modern woman. This is Besana’s first-ever solo show where he masterfully weaves diverse silhouettes into the collective as it channels and echoes the beauty of individuality. The distinctive masterful creations showcase a spectrum of styles that’s an homage to fashion and its captivating diversity. From avant-garde to beyond normalities (use of pants) to outstanding detailing (feathers and sequins) and bold to classic cuts, there was something for every type of bride. “This collection is a tribute to the women I dress — women who are diverse yet share an undeniable aura of elegance and strength. I wanted to capture their essence against the backdrop of a stunning sunset, where light and shadow dance in perfect harmony,” Besana shares. With the wide range of noteworthy selection and their own distinct attraction, Besana’s signature touch remains — a statement balance of bold artistry and refined elegance.

Ray of Twilight was a breathtaking bridal fete honoring femininity, diversity and timeless elegance. The successful event presented the many aspects and facets of womankind. It’s a glimpse into the future of the talented Bessie Besana and his vision — one that embraces versatility while commemorating and venerating the artistry of couture. Bessie ends, “This is my future forward directive in showcasing the global Bessie Besana bride and taking Philippine couture, my style, to the next level.”
