In celebration of Women’s Month, Megaworld Lifestyle Malls, in collaboration with The Philippine Star and PhilSTAR L!fe, presents “HER LIFE: A Celebration of Women Who Lead.” This immersive exhibit honors Filipinas whose leadership, innovation, and resilience have profoundly shaped industries and uplifted communities.

Roxanne Ang Farillas stands out as a trailblazer whose unwavering commitment to empowering women has made a lasting impact on the fashion industry.

With branches in prime locations such as Uptown Bonifacio, Eastwood City, and Venice Grand Canal at McKinley Hill, the brand has become synonymous with empowering women to feel confident, elegant, and beautiful.

Roxanne’s success, however, did not come without challenges.

This nurturing spirit and dedication to Filipino craftsmanship have driven her to champion collaborations with local designers and photographers, further contributing to the visibility and recognition of homegrown talent.

“Business is never easy. I always tell people that you should really love what you’re doing. It’s not just going to work and you get paid for it. It’s something that will inspire you every day, will challenge you every day to be a better person. Make sure that you are able to help other people as well. And inspire other people,” she shares.

Her strong leadership and unwavering dedication to both her craft and her team exemplify the qualities that make Roxanne Ang Farillas a true leader. Her story serves as an inspiration to many, a testament to the power of passion, creativity, and a genuine commitment to uplifting others.
