Maki Eve Mercedes of Venezuela, was hailed as the new Queen 2010. She got the highest title for the night as Queen Universe. The title for Queen World and Queen International went to Miss Malaysia and Miss Italy respectively. Other winners were Miss Mexico who got the 2nd runner up place and Miss Ethipia who placed 1st runner up.

Last year's Queen Universe Rain Marie Madrigal and the other two title holders Miss Lebanon and Miss Spain passed on the crown to a new set of Queen Beauty titlists. The event was organized by the Clothes for Life foundation headed by Ms. Cary Santiago. The evening was graced by Miss Universe 1973, Margie Moran Florendo. 

Truly before the night ended, everyone bowed down to the Queen!

Cebuano Designer: Cary Santiago's Avian

One of the best things that has flourished in Cebu is its fashion industry. A lot of excellent couturiers have took the world of fashion by storm and one of them is our very own Cary Santiago. And the best thing about Cebu, is that you can actually get to have close encounters with these popular people because as a little island in the heart of the Visayas Region the probability of meeting these people is high!

Just recently METRO MAGAZINE, METRO WEDDINGS together with METRO SOCIETY sponsored the master couturier's AVIAN Collection to celebrate METRO's 10 years of fashion. The collection was inspired by birds and to quote him, "I’ve always had a fascination with winged creatures—especially the Philippine Eagle, and birds of prey. In fact, my winning collection for the Young Designers Competition in 2004 was inspired by the Philippine Eagle. And I presented a bird-inspired collection back when I was in Beirut, but it had a different treatment," says Cary.

Having a chance to actually get a glimpse of how those artistic wonders became into such elegant dresses was more than a privilege. I personally came into close encounters with his creation, and I can say his creations took a life of its own with his own true signature and artistry!

It makes me proud to be a Cebuano!!!!
