Ira J. Santos, only daughter of Alexis G. Santos and Concepcion Cortez Junsay, is coming out as a lady on July 16. Her four-year old brother Marco will be her escort at her grand debut party at the Garden Ballroom of Shangri-La Edsa Hotel starting at 5:31 p.m. onwards. The ballroom will be transformed into a dreamscape like the one in Alice’s Wonderland.
Ira will make her grand entrance in a serenity blue bustier gown embellished with pearls, matsuno beads and Swarovski crystals all hand-sewn on French lace by international fashion designer Kim Gan. She will be a picture of ethereal loveliness as well as playfulness and chic elegance in a classic but contemporary ensemble.
Ira is a student at St. Paul College Pasig, an exclusive school for girls. She is a member of the school’s champion cheerleading team.
The team that will make Ira an image of resplendent beauty includes Emme Sevillano for hair, Carmi David for makeup, Kim Gan for clothes, Sonia Agbayani for styling, Danny Jota for event styling and set design, lights, sound and video by Paul Portugal of KRONOS Professional Audio and Lights Services, and PixelCastle for photography.
Hanzel Villafuerte of iPR Plus Consulting, Inc. is over-all coordinator.
