FELICIANO ADOR

FELICIANO ADOR, born and bred in General Santos, dressed 2010 Miss Universe runner-up Venus Raj in neo-ethnic pieces for an NYC photo shoot. While Raj's elegance needs no boost, Ador's creations elevate her strength and poise, just as she elevates the designs — a true fashion synergy highlighting beauty, simplicity, and quiet confidence. "This signifies a woman who believes in herself, is determined to achieve her dreams, and can show her versatility to the world," says Ador, whose roots trace back to the Mandaya, a Filipino indigenous group.
