This season, Pandora presents a whole new garden of styles designed to inspire women to explore their creativity and express themselves in ways that feel natural to them.
More than a collection, the Pandora Garden is a place of self-expression, a new way to convey feelings and express your femininity through a series of beautiful styles and icons. Expertly hand-finished in high-quality materials, the collection is rich in detail and symbolism, allowing women to weave meaningful messages into their personal storytelling and channel their inner confidence.
Each of the nature-inspired icons – the butterfly, the four-leaf clover, the ladybird and the flower – carries a special, empowering meaning, from personal transformation to making your own luck and expressing your unique kind of beauty from inside out.
Step into the Pandora Garden and celebrate your own unique growth story with the butterfly. Make a bold style statement by stacking the Dazzling Butterflies rings or transform your look by wearing the Dazzling Blue Butterfly brooch as a necklace pendant. Feel carefree with the Lucky Four-Leaf Clover pendant, follow your bliss with the ladybird and channel your inner and outer beauty with the Flower Stem necklace, bracelet and earrings. Mix it all together or pick a few key pieces that show how you feel. Your power is in your nature – wear it with confidence.
Inspired by nature, Pandora’s new Matte Brilliance jewellery series make a big impact with delicate details. Catching the light with its matte yet sparkling effect, the sublime texture of the new jewellery is created without stone embellishments using a traditional jewellery crafting technique called diamond pointing.
The linear, sculptural series features a bangle, a ring, stud and hoop earrings crafted in Pandora Rose. The unique, blush-hued metal blend highlights the beautiful sparkly effect while the signature cut-out heart details put a feminine spin on the statement-making designs.
Pick your favorites and let your unique expression thrive this season with Pandora Garden.
In Cebu, the Pandora Garden collection is available at Level 1, Ayala Center Cebu For more information, visit https://www.pandora.net and @theofficialpandora on Instagram and @pandora.ph on Facebook.

Behind the Scenes: Backstage at The Philippine Terno Fashion Show 2025 in the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel & Casino

By Doro Barandino
What most people attending fashion events don’t realize is that the actual battleground happens backstage. Here’s a peek at the real magic that transpires among fashion designers, stylists, hair and make-up artists, dressers, and ramp models hours before showtime. In the recent Philippine Terno fashion show, a whole team of creatives in the fashion industry produced the most extravagant and whimsical recreation of the celebrated garment in the country’s cultural landscape.

Fabric manipulation simulating bird feathers are the main features in Cary Santiago’s ternos.

Mesh-like sculptural head accessories added to the visual impact of the designer’s collection.

Salt, Silk, and Stardom: Ten Reasons Celebrities Wear Amato by Furne One

by Oj Hofer
At Take Me to the Sea, Amato by Furne One unveiled more than a resort/bridal collection — he revealed a world suspended between tides and starlight, where salt, silk, and stardom stitched themselves into every look.
Held at The Hall of the Crimson Resort and Spa Mactan, the show was a transportive experience. As waves whispered beyond the glass, Amato’s gowns swept down the runway like sirens called to shore. Here are ten reasons why global icons return — time and again — to his sea of style.
1. Salt in the Craft
His garments carry the wild grace of the sea — textured, elemental, unforgettable. Every bead, cut, and crystal tells a story shaped by emotion and intuition.
2. Silk in the Movement
Though opulent, his creations float. There’s ease in the drama — cascading motion without weight. Ideal for performers who speak through movement.
3. Stardom in the Vision
Furne doesn’t chase trends — he conjures icons. His gowns command attention while allowing the wearer’s light to radiate.
4. Salt as Spirit
There is soul in the stitching — a deep undercurrent of cultural pride and personal mythology. His work carries weight because it carries truth.
5. Silk as Spellwork
His fabrics don’t just dress — they enchant. Each piece invites touch, reverence, and awe.
6. Stardom in the Silhouette
Furne understands form. He doesn’t simply clothe a figure — he sculpts for presence. For red carpets, concert stages, and film legends.
7. Salt of the Earth
Despite global acclaim, Furne remains grounded. His humility fosters collaboration, creating space for intimacy in the creative process.
8. Silk-Wrapped Strength
There is softness, but never fragility. These gowns are fierce — veiled in elegance yet unapologetically bold.
9. Stardom as Alchemy
Wearing Amato is not mere adornment — it is transformation. A star steps into a Furne One creation and becomes mythic.
10. Salt, Silk, and the Furne Himself
Furne One is the thread. With quiet charisma and a generous spirit, he doesn’t just dress celebrities — he disarms them. And from that space of trust emerges what every artist longs for: wonder.
And in Amato’s world, wonder always wins.
