Atelier Modern Filipiniana Alyssa Top Notcher Filipiniana Custom

Modern Filipiniana of the Month: Aly

“I’ve dreamed of wearing your pieces since my post-pandemic graduation in 2022. But when I ranked 1st in the boards, I knew there was only one place I wanted to get my oathtaking gown from—and it was right here.”

Meet Aly, this year’s Topnotcher in the licensure board exams and our Modern Filipiniana muse for the month. An educator, digital marketer, and storyteller at heart, she embodies the spirit of today’s Filipina—multi-passionate, grounded, and full of purpose.

“Modern Filipinas aren’t known for just one thing—we carry multiple roles and bring it every time, everywhere.”

To mark this extraordinary milestone, Aly chose to wear a custom Modern Filipiniana gown that honored both her journey and heritage—with every detail reflecting power, poise, and pride.

Her advice for future educators:
“Ranking 1st was never just mine—it was a product of faith in God, support from my husband, family, friends, and mentors, and a deep love for learning. Chase excellence in your craft and mix it with passion and purpose. Padayon!”

Styling Tip:
Balance structure with softness: try a sleek low bun, fresh skin, and minimal accessories—or play with a bold lip and sculptural heels for a fashion-forward finish.
