It has been a year & a few days after Danica’s wedding and she still took the time to message me to show her appreciation for my hard work. I’m so touched when people don’t just remember the dress but also the experience and compliments they got… Definitely better than any recognition. Thank you Danica!!!❤️❤️❤️ You are so beautiful 😍 and stunning. This custom minimalist gown definitely complimented your personality and beauty.

Heart aka (That’s what her friends call her) She is lower-batch in our school CSA Makati. 💞 Thank you for trusting me with your two way custom made bridal gown.

As a cool bride.😎 wanted a custom tulle gown with minimal laces that she personally picked from my lace collection. Another successful no Manila fitting bride from London.

A few years ago I had my first international recognition from Tatler UK🇬🇧 that was followed by British Vogue, Glamour & Vanity Fair. Like any other designer or entrepreneur we will always have critics. Someone asked instead of congratulating me “So how are you gonna translate that to sales or cater to the UK market?”

Let me answer that now. First of all recognitions are not something I personally asked for. The prestigious global fashion publications are the one who will personally pick who they want to feature. And I wasn’t thinking of the sales because the fact that we were chosen is already one of the best things that ever happened for my brand and I can’t thank Conde Nast Team enough for that. Hope this answered his questions…😎🫶🏻

Plus we have offers for shows and even partnerships to establish a London & Doha branch BUT as of now we are based in the Philippines while catering also to brides all over the world who trust us to do their no Manila fitting gowns. We also have a market for brides who go to the Philippines just to have their gowns made by us and return to their country for their wedding. There are so many international clients we cater to with different setups. 🫶🏻🙏🏻💞 Quality over quantity always..

Thank you for inviting us in this talk with CEO of Fashion evolves and as a designer/entrepreneur I have to be updated to keep up with the business of fashion. 🥂💞 We always have to refresh our minds and be humble enough to admit that we don’t always know everything so more wisdom will come in…

The 4 points about this talk by Sir Imran that I really really love and that is aligned with what my brand stands for are the ff:

1. As creatives we should balance the creative and business side of fashion. Never lose the passion and art.
2. Decolonization begins when you stop seeking approval and validation from Western market and start thinking that our brand is good enough and our market is good enough.
3. Aligning passion, skill and purpose.
4. The way in is to make the best product.

And if I will add to this for me the greatest gauge that you are successful in your venture is not in the noise it makes… its about capturing your market niche and sustaining it because you made a significant product or service that serves a need while sticking by your brand’s values and principles.

People think fashion is petty and superficial but for serious designers/entrepreneurs like me we want to preserve the art and craftsmanship involve in it while serving its purpose. It’s a multi billion industry that needs to be respected. It’s a huge market. There’s enough for everyone so be kind and just do your work.

Thank you for the trust my no Manila fitting bride💞🥂 : Once a upon a time, in a beautiful white dress...

Thank you so much ate for creating the wedding dress of my dreams. Truly felt like a princess and I am so grateful for all the effort you put into making it perfect.

And yes, l’m not done posting wedding photos just yet

Detalye ng ating pambansang kasuotan na ginawang damit pang kasal para sa aking magandang kliyente Oo tagalog na matindi para sa Araw Ng Kalayaan ng Pilipinas. 🇵🇭 Hindi din naman ako mahilig mag English 🤪 Ang damit na ito ay ginawa ng ilang buwan dahil lahat ng detalye ay pinagisipan at pinaghirapan gamit lamang ang mga kamay. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭💞💞💞

Thank you so much to Congresswoman Joy Tambunting and her daughter Chelsea for trusting me completely. It was a stress free experience to create a wedding gown & mom of the bride dress for them because they are both so humble and kind. 💞

The story of how I met them is also an unforgettable experience haha. Me and my husband were just working out in our village clubhouse when our neighbor Congressman Gus Tambunting (Chelsea’s father) called us and had a small talk with us. He was also very humble and kind. I remember I was laughing so hard because he said:
Nasa British Vogue ka, big time ka pala.😆 Then I said hindi naman po hahaha… After a few weeks her daughter Chelsea and I met.

I truly admire their family because I have been working with a lot of people through the years and I love how simple and humble they are. The type who don’t need to impose on people because the truly great ones are chill 😜 If you know what I mean. 😎 Definitely my cup of tea.

Thank you to Mrs. Lugtu for trusting us in creating her Filipiniana gown that she will wear in the White House in America 🇺🇸 together with her husband Mr. Lugtu, our Philippine Naval Attaché, to represent our country.

It’s an honor to create this custom made piece to represent my modern take on our National Costume Filipiniana.🇵🇭

In less than 10 years in business, Filipino designer Aoui Regala gained international recognition—and from prestigious fashion publications, nonetheless.

Since 2022, she has been featured in British Vogue, Tatler UK, Glamour Magazine and, just recently, in Vanity Fair’s 30th annual Hollywood issue which had A-listers Bradley Cooper, Natalie Portman, and Pedro Pascal on the cover.

Highlight your natural grace and allure. Walk down the aisle in a dress that exudes both delicate femininity with a perfect mix of sexy confidence.

My creations = Art + Fashion

I hope you all enjoyed the bridal series posts showcasing different types of brides. As a couture designer I execute everything from minimalist to complex designs that are unique for each bride. Our brides were given options on laces they want to use. Everything is customizable from scratch.

As of now we are still not offering RTW. I have offers for partnership in London, Doha and USA BUT we are strictly doing couture/custom made gowns only. I am not closing doors on that but for now we are only Manila based since those who want me to create their dream gowns come to Manila or opt for the no Manila fitting setup which has a 100% success rate. We will see what God has planned for us. But for now we are already very happy where we are…💞

The category and style of brides are unique and endless. And I am just here to create pieces that will tell a bride’s story and fuse it with my style and vision. 💞

The grand but elegant brides.💞

Each gown is meticulously crafted with sumptuous fabrics, intricate beadwork and sparkling embellishments, these dresses are designed to tell a story of elegance and grandeur.

17/05/2024

The classic romantic brides. 💞

Timeless elegance meets romance. Expertly crafted to capture each bride’s unique style, ensuring that your gown is as individual as your love story.

Signature Looks are custom made/couture dresses that I design from scratch without any pegs or inspiration. In this type of setup and look the brides give me full creative control in designing a unique piece for them. The beauty of couture is that they will always be the only one in the world to have that design. Others can try to copy but we are confident that our magic touch can never be duplicated. You know our vibe. 🪄😜

We are not called Master of Minimalism and Subtle Style for nothing. Some of my works through the years. ♥️ Most people think Minimalism is easy to execute. BUT it takes years of experience, taste level, vision, hard work, precise patterns, quality stitching & cutting etc to execute designs that are clean, elegant, polished and well fitted like these.

An appreciation post for my Italy based bride .raee w/ no Manila fitting, who supported my brand that led to many more projects from her circle of friends. Referrals are the ultimate compliment.🥹

I design gowns from minimalist to complex ‘depending on client specifications’ but most of my clients prefer gowns that are elegant, timeless, minimalist and classic.

I’m not into overloading a gown. I don’t want gowns that screams wealth.😅 We want it elegant, clean and classy and definitely not tacky.

1. Seana: Italy based, no Manila fitting
2. Hazee: London based, no Manila fitting
3. Danica: London based with Manila fittings
4. Judicel: London based, no Manila fitting
5. Jane: London based, no Manila fitting.

Grabeh I am speechless. 5 brides in just one circle. Thank you all so much… Love you all 🥰

I got surprised when Nadine went to my atelier with the Vogue magazine where I was featured. You’re so cute😆plus the best part is she even brought the specific pen she wants me to use for the page. She said this marker doesn’t smudge. Hahaha the best. 🤗🤪 Also thank you for bringing snacks too. You’re the sweetest. I super appreciate you!!! 💞 And the rest of the clients who sent me their gifts a few days ago.

🤪 I make my IG life look chill and easy but behind the scenes I have so many meetings in a day.

As the only Filipino bridal designer/brand that is featured in different major international fashion & lifestyle publications I can say this is God’s favor. There are a lot of talented designers in our country as well but we are the one always chosen. And unlike other designers who need to trash talk others to lift theirselves up 😅I don’t need to say anything. We are quiet but strong. 😎 I just always do my work with the best of my ability. And it transcends… The universe always rewards those who put their heart and soul into their craft.

Featured again in Vanity Fair’s The Lookbook Section is the photo of my Chinese/French citizen bride who went to Manila to have her gown made by us. She got married in Paris last month. Congratulations to us dear we maaaade it again. Ghaaad Europe I love you all so much. Thank you for being the first country to support me this much. I am forever grateful. 💞🥂 Thank you Sending loooove from Manila. OMG hahaha check out the cover it’s none other than THE 🤪😍😍😍🇬🇧 lol

My no Manila fitting setup has 100% success rate from the moment I offered this service. Im definitely a ‘calculated’ risk taker. This can make or break me BUT I took that risk and it became so successful that it built a good record for me. This is why I was able to get major international recognitions and of course more clients.

Today is another successful no Manila fitting with a London based bride. She just got her dress that we shipped a few days ago. Today she was able to try it on for the first time and this is what she said about the experience and the fit. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

She was also the one who sent me a Vanity Fair Hollywood edition copy from UK where we got featured. Such a sweetheart. Thank you again for the 200% trust.

LONDON x MANILA again wooot 🇬🇧🇵🇭🥂

My French bride is now married. She went to Manila twice to fit and got married in Basilique Saint-Seurin de Bordeaux France. 🇫🇷 I am truly honored to make couture pieces for brides who trust me this much. Thank you so much beautiful Jeanne. Thank you for choosing me. 💞🙏🏻 Can’t wait for the official photos…

So excited to finally share! We were working since 2022 with different time zones but we still made it happen! From sketches to stitches, and countless messages and calls, turned my vision into reality! From the very first fitting in Manila 2023 to the final reveal. I am so grateful for her talent!!!!!

Maraming maraming salamat 🫶🏽🥹
