#MetroStyleWatch: The Best High Tea Outfits We Spotted At The Launch Of Mark Bumgarner's New RTW Studio!

ICYMI, this week's talk of Philippine fashion town was the launch of Mark Bumgarner's newest studio.

Located in Greenbelt 5, along the strip housing the ateliers of Filipino veteran designers like Francis Libiran, Albert Andrada, and Charina Sarte, lies BVMGARNER STUDIOS, the Metrowear 2017 designer's newly launched dust-pink-and-gold themed store. 

This dainty nook is also where the former race car driver and now designer-to-the-stars debuted his 73-piece luxury accessories line, alongside RTW dresses, hand bags, and shoes.

Among the attendees were a handful of Metro Manila's most fashionable. Ahead, we've compiled a list of the best-dressed ladies we spotted at the launch of Mark Bumgarner's retail studio. Keep scrolling for high tea fashion inspo!

 

 

Valerie Chia

We're a huge fan of this classy all-neutral look! Valerie donned a chic mini dress with contemporary shoes worth the double take.

 

Roxanne Ang-Farillas

The Plains & Prints founder was clad in a statement puff sleeve top. To make the look even more interesting, she styled her look with a contemporary emerald green purse!

 

Macky Fah and Kristine Nolan

These two ladies turned heads in their beige ensembles. Macky's '70s-inspired flare pants and Kristine's printed tribal top won our hearts!

 

Andrea Tetangco

This is how to pull off dad sneakers, the sophisticated way. Fashion designer Andrea rocked her Louis Vuitton Archlights with a black cowl neck top and shorts. So chic!

 

Patty Ang

Isn't she glowing? The Metrowear designer and bride-to-be elevated the basic turtle neck and jeans look with an eye-catching leather belt bag. We want one, stat!

 

Michele Bumgarner

The Filipina race car driver (who's also Mark Bumgarner's sister!) was clad in the season's hottest prints.

 

Winnie Go
