Cat Arambulo-Antonio - first ever Filipina judge in the biggest design reality TV series in Asia, The Apartment: Passion for Design - showcased a dress that deemed her one of the best dressed women in the country
"This dress means so much to me. I used this outfit when I received the award for being one of the best dressed women in the Philippines. It's a timeless dress I've worn several times, and each time reminded of the significance it holds for me and the way it inspires me to make more shining moments like this," Cat shares.
Model,vlogger, TV host Kelly Misa brings sentimental piece passed on to her by her grandmother, "My grandmother mostly wore easy basic that always looked fresh, clean and new. When I wear this article of clothing, I feel like I make her proud that's why it's important to keep it always looking new. This serves as a constant reminder for me - for the way brought shine to my life; and how, to this day, her memory brings me unceasing inspiration."
Maggi Wilson, British-Filipino TV Personality, actress, entrepreneur, parades the outfit she wore as she crossed the finish line at the Antarctic Ice Marathon, "In 2017, I became the first woman to run a marathon in Antarctica. For someone shoe's not fond of running, I managed to push through from all the doubts and voices in my head telling me I can't do iy. It's important because it's a reminder I can conquer and shine in any situation I set my mind to."
When I Shine with You is a sensorial, nostalgic journey
Every piece of clothing has a story. in this one-of-a-kind musical, Lea takes us on a journey down memory lane by telling the story behind some of her most treasured clothes in her iconic roles. With a history of more than four decades in the industry, she had her first break at 9 years old when she played the title role in Annie in 1980.
"Annie was my first big break. I was 9 then and felt a big mix of happy, scared and really just enjoying myself, That's why I kept my dress after all these years: to remind myself that girl who believed she could shine," Leas shares.
Since her debut, Lea appeared in a number of theatre productions and had several television projects until 1989 when she was selected to play Kim in the debut production of the musical Miss Saigon in London. This role earned her the title as the first woman of Asian descent to win the Tony Award for her excellence in live Broadway Theatre in 1991.
She adds , I had no idea how demanding it was going to be to play the role of Kim. As a teenager, I found it worth it because it pushed me to be more creative and thoughtful with my craft. That's why I'll always find the shirt I wore to the audition memorable. It may see like a simple white one but it means a lot to me - it was the one that helped me shine and live my dreams."
Among all the roles she played and amid her past accomplishments, Lea takes the pride the most in being a mom to her daughter Nicole. "There's so much love and reward in being a mother. It's definitely a new chapter for me, and one of the best roles that I have the privilege of playing."
Reminiscent of the new Ariel Instashines's clothes renewal benefit, the musical sparked a renewed sense of inspiration as Lea relived the highlights of this true-to-life musical journey through her memorable clothes - from when she played Annie, to her white shirt during her audition for Miss Saigon, and an apron she got when she was a new mom.
"Through stains and messy times in the kitchen. this apron marks one of my life's biggest role - being a mom to Nicole. It's the role that no one could have ever prepared me for. It's continuous handwork but it brought so much joy and love to my life. It's inspiring me to shine brighter every day for my family." Lea says.
These iconic clothes were brought back to life and showcased through Ariel Instashine's Renewed Collection on Stage.
