Streaming on Prime Video this July is <strong>Fit Check: Confessions of An Ukay Queen,</strong> a fashion-focused Filipino comedy drama centering on the life of an aspiring fashion designer who sells secondhand clothes for a living.</p><div><br/></div><p><strong>Kim Chiu</strong> plays Melanie Dela Cruz, a bubbly optimist who wants to make it big in the fashion industry. Opportunity knocks when Chris, played by Jake Ejercito, a handsome young fashion executive takes notice of her designs. The series also stars Angel Aquino, Christopher de Leon, and Kylie Verzosa.</p><div><br/></div><p>In the series, Kim’s character is almost always spotted in interesting reworked pieces and thrifted looks. She’s the ukay queen for a reason! Kim has been making quite an impact for her press looks too. Her custom ensembles by Ehrran Monotoya and ḢA.MÜ are striking and impeccably made.
