Leo Almodal's sensational, sparkling, and spectacular fashion show!

On Saturday, June 22, at the Okada Manila Granbdball, the most-awaited solo fashion show of Leo Almodal brought together entertainment celebrities, beauty queens, and models in a night of spectacular display of couture creations.

The Cebuano-Masbateño fashion designer started designing even when he was still in his college years. 

"I was doing it on a part-time basis. I accept designing and sewing work while studying," Almodal shared how he started as a designer. "My late father was a tailor. My mother was a dressmaker. They both discouraged me to follow in their footsteps."

His passion began when he was still six years of age when he first copied the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Disney princesses featured on a milk brand's label. 

Despite being an education degree holder, he wasn't fortunate enough to land any teaching post, but the universe conspired with his dream. He landed a job at a bridal couture shop at SM-Cebu. From there, he only stayed there for three months and got hired by Arabs and flew to Bahrain as a fashion designer.
