Tim Yap, who hosted the event, was very impressed with how Vicente Manansala captured the social conditions of the country during his time through his paintings.

Here he is wearing a custom-made jacket printed with one of Manansala's works.

Event host Divine Lee wears a tunic kimono top from the Manansala collection.

The fashion "it" girl made sure to give the piece a personal touch by pairing it with her favorite fringed skirt.

Before the fashion show, a short video was presented depicting the life of the great painter.

One cool fact we learned about Vicente "Enteng" Manansala was that he persistently courted his wife, Herminigilda Diaz, for seven long years before they married in 1937.

Cedie Lopez-Vargas was one of the major supporters of this project.

The Lopez Museum, which she curates, houses many of Vicente Manansala's works that were used in the fashion collection.

Maritess Pineda, one of Manansala's closest friends, owns one of the largest collections of his art in the country.

Most of the pieces were given to her by the artist as a gift.

HOW TO WEAR ART: This sublimation print jersey dress depicts Manansala's cubistic style.

Wear this piece to work or to a romantic dinner date.

The shoes worn by all the models at the fashion show are from Carmina Villarroel's shoe brand called Muñiz.

HOW TO WEAR ART: This cute dress can take you from the office to a dinner date in an instant.

Cover with a corporate blazer during the day, then go commando at night.

The Manansala collection also includes accessories such as this clutch bag.

There are also tote bags, necklaces, bracelets, and watches printed with the artists' classic paintings.
