Hot Red Dresses

It takes a lot of confidence to put on a red dress. I'm used to it though, as I wear reds all the time for birthday parties—I'm Chinese, you get the drift.

But for those who have yet to try on reds, check out Pond's Red Dress collection held a few weeks back at the Philippine Fashion Week. For the first time ever, Pond’s graces the runways of Philippine Fashion Week at the Mall of Asia Atrium with show-stopping pieces by the country’s most premier designers inspired by the beauty of their muses who modeled the Pond’s Red Dress Collection.

The key theme of the night was “Beauty At Any Age” interpreted in red couture, the main hue of Pond’s breakthrough anti-aging line – Pond’s Age Miracle. Hosted by the Pond’s ambassador and beauty expert Rissa Mananquil, Pond’s gathered women of varying ages to show that beauty, indeed, transcends age.

More than beauty and fashion, Pond’s together with Runway Productions and the participating designers and muses all joined forces on the project in support of the relief efforts put out by Red Cross.

Truly, a red-letter day, the Pond’s Red Dress Collection redefined the meaning of beauty.
