This collaboration is one for the books. The gown Francis designed for Kim Chiu showcases her captivating curves. "It's a jet black cut-out corset gown that shows her effortless allure. For me, Kim is the true embodiment of confidence and style," says Francis.

Kim's good friend and stylist, Adrianne Concepcion, wants this look to show a sleeker, sharper Kim in terms of style. "This look is sexy and strategic. It has a tuxedo lapel detail on the waist to give it a sartorial edge. Nothing too sweet and feminine as an ode to her character Juliana in Linlang."
