On Thursday, November 8 (November 9 in the Philippines), Kelsey made fashion history as the first-ever Filipina to walk the runway of VSFS.
This year, the fashion show was held at Pier 94 in New York City.
The VSFS 2018 was divided into five segments: "Glam Royal," "Golden Girls," "Flights of Fantasy," "PINK," and the collaboration with the "Queen of Prints" Greek designer Mary Katranzou.
