Fashion designer Paul Cabral staged his premier gala, UNA, at the historic Laperal Mansion (Arlegui Guest House) in Manila. The presentation featured 70 looks centered around piña fabric, highlighting Cabral’s modern interpretation of classical Filipiniana. From finely tailored barongs to contemporary formalwear, the collection paid homage to Filipino heritage and craftsmanship. UNA also served as a personal tribute — a reflection of Cabral’s creative journey from apprentice to fashion master. A portion of the show’s proceeds was donated to Fashion Aid Philippines, aligning with Cabral’s long-standing advocacy to uplift Filipino artisans, designers, and creators.
