WATCH: Alden Richards presents fashion collection with Avel Bacudio
MANILA, Philippines — Actor Alden Richards has recently launched his first collaboration collection with world-renowned Filipino designer Avel Bacudio.
Part of the sale proceeds will benefit children from the Northern Luzon Association for the Blind in La Trinidad, Benguet.
The collection, exclusively available in online store Zilingo, includes jackets, tracksuits, pullovers and joggers in shades of black, maroon, navy blue, off-white and gray. These colors were picked as they were the first ones Avel could see after being afflicted by temporary blindness.
"I've always been a fan of Avel Bacudio's designs. He's been a good friend of mine for the longest time. As such, I am really psyched to have my very first fashion collaboration with him," Alden stated.
"With this collaboration, we go beyond providing affordable fashion options for our customers. We (also) share the opportunity to contribute to the social fabric with the Northern Luzon Association for the Blind on board as our beneficiary, a cause close to my heart," added Avel. — Video and editing by Kat Leandicho, photo by Erwin Cagadas Jr.
