Most known for her victory in Pinoy Big Brother’s (PBB’s) Lucky 7 Edition, 21-year-old Maymay Entrata captures the attention of international designers as she is now the first Filipina model to be a part of the prestigious event.

Arab brand Amato Couture, founded by Filipino Furne One, initiated the invite, aware that Maymay and on-screen partner Edward Barber have a show in the country within that date. On November 15, the brand announced through their Instagram, “It’s official! Congratulations to Maymay on officially being a part of Arab Fashion Council Arab Fashion Week 2018!

” The show is happening on Wednesday, November 21.

Maymay has encountered wearing Furne One’s designs before, with the designer based in Dubai previously dressing Maymay during the 2018 ABS-CBN Ball that happened last October 1.

It is reported that renowned fashion designer Rajo Laurel is planning to include Maymay in his Dubai show as well after tweeting, “How can we make Maymay Entrata walk my Gala Fashion show?” referring to his Red Charity Gala held last October 29.

Prior to the invite, Maymay has already initiated that becoming a model was always one of her dreams and is willing to be trained to do it professionally. She told TV Patrol in Filipino, “It’s in my dreams to become a model. That’s in the right timing,” adding, “I learned [how to runway walk] through YouTube from professional models. I just imagine that I’m beautiful.” Just a few months ago, “America’s Next Top Model” host Tyra Banks had praised Maymay’s look, liking her catwalk videos and photos on social media.
