Everyone is going back to party so this collection is all about Hollywood glamour. So very timeless, very wearable.&quot;</p><p>Among the models who showed off this collection was Miss Universe Philippines 2019 Gazini Ganados. It was not only her first time to be part of the LA Fashion Week, but also her first time working with Tolentino. Ganados said she was &quot;honored. It&#x27;s a pleasure to represent my fellow kababayan.&quot;</p><p>The stars have also come out to watch, from singer Kiana Valenciano to singer and actress Anna Maria Perez de Tagle. Among those dazzled by Tolentino&#x27;s designs were Grammy-winning musician apl.de.ap of the Black Eyed Peas, and boxing champion Nonito Donaire Jr. along with his wife Rachel. Donaire pointed out, &quot;I&#x27;m very artistic. I love the beauty of everything else. This is my first time at an Oliver show and I love it.&quot;</p><p>Whether it&#x27;s for fight night or for a music video, both Donaire and apl.de.ap said they wouldn&#x27;t mind being dressed by Tolentino, whom the latter described as very talented. &quot;Beautiful gowns, progressive, new type of dresses... I can see the Pinoy influence in there but very subtle,&quot; apl.de.ap said.</p><p>Despite the pandemic, Tolentino has also kept busy with his designs, dressing several contestants at the recent Miss Universe Philippines. He&#x27;ll be back on the runway with another show next month, and with awards season just around the corner, the public can expect a few more designs up Tolentino&#x27;s sleeve.</p>
