Thirty renowned Filipino designers showed off their creations in honor to the Virgin Mary and the Glorious Mysteries of the Holy Rosary. Most of them are members of the Fashion Designers Association of the Philippines (FDAP).

Announced as Reina de las Flores is Miss World Peace Philippines 2015 and Bb. Pilipinas 2016 alumna, Jeslyn Santos who elegantly sashayed to the breathtaking creations of Louis Pangilinan.
