Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 12, 2012

America's Next Top Model All-Star Cycle Finalists Dominique Reighard and Allison Harvard have emerged as the 'Newly Adopted Daughters of the Philippines'. Upon landing at Manila International Airport on May 23, 2012, it was obvious that this dynamic duo was ready to take over the remaining days of Philippines Fashion Week. Flying in exclusively for the two-part finale, Dominique and Allison, walked the runway in exquisite and luxurious gowns designed by Dubai based Designer and Filipino native Michael Cinco.

Set in a garden of paradise, the first shows’ white runway was flanked with a high standing tree filled with white-feathered branches, surrounded by white park benches and a white iron pergola set. Reighard and Harvard graced the catwalk in Cinco's baby blue contouring gowns laced with crystals before the crowd of Filipino socialites and dignitaries.

Dominique and Allison were front row guests of Ben Chan, Owner of Bench for the second show. The ladies joined the capacity crowd to cheer on Rajo Laurel's revolutionary themed celebration show filled with a Battle of the Bands dance-off that combined up tempo music and fashion to demonstrate the versatility of style. Both top models wore Laurel's jeans with Reighard baring a mid rift top with tan shoulder cape and Harvard wearing a button-up top carefully encrusted with jewels along the front.

Philippines Fashion Week also marked the launch of Michael Cinco’s fragrance, Impalpable, with Allison Harvard as the face of the alluring scent. Rajo Laurel also launched Rajo Uno and Rajo Dos, but not without taking time to thank Ben Chan for making his dreams come true.
This year’s Fashion Week in the Philippines was a special one for Ben Chan as the Branch brand celebrated its 25th Anniversary. Dominique and Allison showed no reservations in expressing their gratitude to have been a part of this commemorative week of events. “I look forward to another opportunity to work with the team at Bench and continue to inspire those whose lives I am touching to continue to dream big” stated Reighard.
