Michelle Dee Instagram – A tribute to a legendary Filipina who has become an icon, preserving the rich cultural heritage of indigenous tattoo art. She has achieved global recognition and symbolizes timeless beauty, coinciding with Miss Universe lifting its age restrictions, championing inclusivity and challenging age stereotypes. A true icon and the last of her kind, a symbol of bravery, beauty, and inclusivity… Whang Od. This evening gown draws inspiration from the icon, with every stitch crafted passionately and proudly dedicated to our country. It is a creation by my friend and designer of dreams, @markbumgarner Creative Direction & Production by @michelledee @personifi.io Photos by @iamdoc Visuals @joshuasalvs Lighting @aputurephilippines VFX @michaelfogi Face @davequiambao.
