<p>On Tuesday evening, <strong>Professional Models Association of the Philippines</strong> (PMAP) commemorated their 35th anniversary with a fashion show. Friends and fashion folk gathered at The Hilton Hotel in Manila to toast to the agency’s founding members, past presidents, and new generation models. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/66d8735f-fd85-4efe-aa00-32b22c669ded_dsc01874.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/dedb8db2-cd03-4219-aa8e-cd43fd9b5d61_dsc02037.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><p>Dressed in Mark Bumgarner’s S/S 2023 collection and styled by former Metro Executive Editor Kat Cruz-Villanueva and Michelle Bumgarner, PMAP models showed just how excellent they are on the runway. Former PMAP Presidents Tweetie de Leon-Gonzalez, Apples Aberin, Grace Molina, Rissa Mananquil-Trillo, Phoemela Baranda, Angel Agustin and Ana Sideco made their presence known during the spectacular fashion show. New generation models also took part in the glamorous fashion affair.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/c968d307-7180-4e52-9e9b-d3a6a7a6b81c_dsc01930.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/355f5ba0-9467-4aaa-8ca5-bd8d0b0fe07d_dsc02015.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><p>To wrap up the evening’s festivities, newly-appointed president <strong>Margarita Gutierrez</strong> left an empowering message about the agency’s longstanding excellence and the future of PMAP. In order to align with the ever-evolving fashion industry, PMAP aims to highlight inclusivity by including all genders and all shapes/sizes into their roster. Representation is of utmost importance, it&#x27;s only fitting that PMAP now has more trans models, plus size models, athletes, influencers, and commercial models. The future of fashion is bright. Congratulations on 35 years!</p><div><br/></div><div><em>Photo Courtesy of <strong>PMAP</strong></em></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/fashion/metrostylewatch/american-music-awards-2022-red-carpet/34269" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">13 Of The Best Looks On The 2022 AMAs Red Carpet</a></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/fashion/inspiration/carl-jan-cruz-x-univers/34270" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Contemporary Filipino Brand Carl Jan Cruz Roots Itself In Univers </a></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/fashion/runway/paris-fashion-week-ss23-runway-shows/33930" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">10 Of Our Favorite Runway Shows In Paris Fashion Week</a></div>
