In what is considered to be the first solo fashion spread of Binibini 23 Gabrielle Basiano, she graces the cover and inside pages of the January, 2021 issue of Cool Magazine Philippines. This is indeed a good chance for the tall beauty to show her versatile side on cam.

Binibini 23 and her Bb. Pilipinas National Costume

Behold your #Binibini23 Gabrielle Basiano of Borongan, Eastern Samar and her Bb. Pilipinas National Costume by Ken Adrienne Batino and Jevin Salaysay

GOLDEN KALESA
Notes from the designers

Kalesa was introduced to the Philippines by the Spaniards during the 18th century. It has served as a deluxe mode of transportation that only the rich and high ranking officials can afford. It used to be the king of the road long before the jeepneys arrived.

The kalesa is a carriage with two large wheels on each side, a roof to protect the passengers from the glaring sun, and it is connected to the horse that pulls the carriage.

Gab will be donning a golden kalesa that represents the shades of her hometown, Borongan City, Eastern Samar. She’s wearing a mesh body suit that is embellished with thousands of golden swarovski crystals. The carriage is adorned by handwoven mat or most commonly known as banig, one of the major products of her province. The wheels of the kalesa is decorated by two golden suns, living by her hometown’s monicker ‘The City of Golden Sunrise’.

It all depends on where you want to focus on – the modern retro vibe of their outfits or the neon/fluorescent eyeshadows framed by china bob hairstyles?

Regardless, the almost twinning beauties of #Binibini23 Gabrielle Basiano and #Binibini29 Honey Cartasano are sure to put you close to a hypnotic trance.

I surrender to their stares!

Hat Attack, everyone! If only Minorka Mercado could see the two of you now.

I doff my hat to the creative variety of layouts you conceptualized and executed, Paolo❣️
