FELICIANO ADOR

2010 Miss Universe runner-up Venus Raj is wearing a strapped tnalak corset with matching gladiator high-heeled shoes, tempered down with a plain black satin skirt. The outfit is accented with a signature tribal fringed bead belt with dangling brass bells.
It's not that the statuesque Venus needs help in that department, but donning Ador's Filipino neo-ethnic fashion creations elevates her unique elegance and feminine strength a notch higher, just as she elevates the apparel and accessories (part and parcel of Ador's Arise Mindanao collection) to the next stage — a perfect match made in fashion heaven. This end-of-summer photo shoot in Manhattan in New York City showcases both model and clothes in their natural best — elegance in simplicity, beauty in tradition, and strength in subtle confidence.
"This neo-ethnic collection, which features the tnalak, inaul, and other indigenous materials and styles, signifies a woman who always believes in herself, is determined to achieve her dreams in life, and can show to the world that she is versatile," says Ador.
