Raissa Robles Tapped By Michael Leyva For “Fashion Show For The Poor!”

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles – Manila Bureau) – Self-proclaimed investigative writer Raissa Robles couldn’t contain her envy when she criticized a high-end fashion show by calling it a “vulgar display of ostentation and scandalous wealth amid poverty. Featured designer for the show was Michael Leyva.

Bless his heart, Leyva took the criticism in stride. But more than that, he is organizing another show he is calling “Fashion Show for the Poor.” All proceeds will be donated to Leni Robredo’s Angat Buhay Foundation.

And to show that he has no ill feelings towards Robles, Leyva has tapped her to be one of the ramp models in this unique show featuring an all-nature collection of gowns and dresses using only plant material.

Leyva released some photos of some outfits Robles will model:
