Lotte Delima Edwards, a Cebuana bred fashion designer who is now based in Singapore, opened the Island Girl Collection to the public last weekend at the Summer Fashion Frolic show at Plantation Bay Resort. The entire collection is aptly named after the islands in Cebu – Hilontongan, Olango, and Santa Fe Island. Each collection says a lot about the island – mystical, enchanting and very much seductive.

Her Island Girl Collection is all breezy and lighthearted that you would love to wear them from sun up to sun down.

The dresses could pass as beach cover-ups or cocktail wear depending on your mood for today.

Featuring the Island Girl Collections of Lotte Delima Edwards with accessories from Butch Carungay for AVATAR and The Summer Solstice Collection of Salvador Malto with accessories by Jessamine Fashion, Summer Fashion Frolics overwhelmed Cebu so much they were reminded how Cebu could produce such talented and very much successful designers in the international scene.
