A Spectacular Debut at Dubai Fashion Week
Dubai, the city known for its extravagance and opulence, once again stole the fashion world’s spotlight by hosting an exclusive, invite-only event that left fashion enthusiasts awestruck. Taking place on October 17, 2023, this extraordinary gathering occurred at Tàn Chá, the Michelin-starred restaurant acclaimed as Dubai’s finest Asian dining establishment of the year.
The centerpiece of this prestigious occasion was the world of fashion, and it attracted some of the most prominent names in the industry. Among the distinguished participants was the internationally renowned Filipino fashion brand, ANGELO ESTERA. His Asian Couture-themed Collection took center stage, leaving a lasting impression on Dubai’s fashion elite, a select group of VVIP guests, and influential media figures.
The event seamlessly blended with Dubai Fashion Week, and Tàn Chá provided an exquisite setting by hosting an evening that featured a rooftop runway overlooking the breathtaking Business Bay canal.
The Creative Force Behind the Collection
Angelo Estera, an award-winning designer with an illustrious career, was the mastermind behind this opulent runway showcase. His journey in the fashion world began with designing for royalty and celebrities in the Arab world, a testament to his exceptional talent and creative vision. In 2009, he founded a design studio in Dubai, where he continued to impress with breathtaking and lavish collections showcased at various Dubai Fashion Weeks.

Estera’s collection explores the regal heritage of Asia, highlighting the grandeur and splendor that once characterized the supreme rulers of China. He seamlessly blends traditional opulence with a contemporary twist, infusing modernity into the richness and glory associated with Asian royalty.
A Feast for the Senses
Angelo Estera’s Asian Winter collection is a visual and sensory delight. It tantalizes the eyes and elevates the soul with a fusion of colors, textures, and patterns. The garments evoke the opulence, beauty, and striking appearance that have long been synonymous with Asian culture. Estera’s collection transports us to a world where fabrics are transformed into works of art, breaking down societal barriers and inspiring a sense of destiny.
Estera’s roots in Samar Leyte, a small town in the Philippines, echo the creative spirit of the legendary Michael Cinco, who once dreamt of “La Dolce Vita” in the Philippines. These designers share a common vision of bringing their dreams to life through ethereal silhouettes and whimsical details that touch the soul.
