Francis Libiran returns to 'America’s Next Top Model'
MANILA – Top local designer Francis Libiran appears once again in an episode of “America’s Next Top Model,” which will be aired in the Philippines on Saturday.
Libiran has been chosen by supermodel and “ANTM” host Tyra Banks to return to the show's 22nd cycle and create a special collection as part of the last challenge for its five finalists.
Filipino viewers can catch the 12th episode featuring Libiran on ETC at 8 p.m. on November 7. The show will be aired in the United States on November 6.
“To be part of this legendary TV show for the second time is, again, an honor not only for me, but also for the Philippines,” Libiran said. “We got so thrilled and excited when we got the call from Tyra’s team. It was a surreal experience as it is an honor and privilege to represent Filipino talent and artistry in such an international and well-respected platform as ‘America’s Next Top Model’.”
Libiran was first featured on “ANTM” during the show’s 18th cycle in 2012, where he showcased his Hello Kitty couture collection.
His appearance on “ANTM” paved the way to his working relationship with Banks, who has worn his gowns in various occasions.
