<p>MANILA -- Over a thousand fashion enthusiasts were glued to their screens on Tuesday night as Rajo Laurel mounted his first virtual fashion show.</p><p>The Facebook live show, held in collaboration with director Robby Carmona and Saga Events, also marked the top Filipino designer&#x27;s birthday.</p><p>A pre-recorded video was played, showing models sashaying down makeshift runways wearing pieces from Laurel&#x27;s &quot;Hacienda&quot; collection. Hair and makeup were done by Jing Monis and Gela Laurel Stehmeier, respectively. </p><p>&quot;The collection was obviously done six months ago, inspired by the life I wanted to live here in Batangas,&quot; Laurel told host Issa Litton shortly before presenting his new creations. &quot;It&#x27;s like we planted a seed and now it&#x27;s growing into this wonderful new thing.&quot;</p><p>&quot;This is perhaps a way to start strong,&quot; added the designer.</p><p>Carmona, who has been directing live events for 25 years, for his part admitted the challenges of doing a digital execution such as Laurel&#x27;s virtual fashion show.</p><p>&quot;This is really something different because everything was done remotely,&quot; he said. &quot;So all meetings, all content we had to do, pre-prods, editing, approvals are all online.&quot; </p><p>The director nevertheless expressed optimism for the fashion and events industry: &quot;This is the time to help each other, this is the time that we share what we have... I&#x27;m really looking forward for all of us to see each other again in the near future.&quot;</p><p>It was revealed during the event that part of the proceeds from the sales of Laurel&#x27;s &quot;Hacienda&quot; collection will be given to Philippine Red Cross Makati, with Facebook live viewers directed to bank accounts if they want to make direct donations. </p><p>Watch the two-part virtual fashion show below:</p><script src="https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;version=v2.5" async="" type="text/javascript"></script><div class="fb-post" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/SagaEventsOfficial/videos/1157362997954363/" data-width="auto"> </div><script src="https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;version=v2.5" async="" type="text/javascript"></script><div class="fb-post" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/SagaEventsOfficial/videos/273987230396814/" data-width="auto"> </div>
