Let us talk about LVNA By Drake Dustin, the brand behind the dazzling accessories worn by Miss Universe Philippines 2021 Rabiya Mateo.
Something strange happened in the Philippines last week. The streets outside were almost empty, there were only a few people inside malls, and counters in supermarkets did not have long lines—all of this is not because of the spike in COVID-19 cases; the Filipino people are in front of their TV screens, watching the Miss Universe 2021 pageant.
Twenty-four-year-old Rabiya Mateo graced the stage with her jaw-dropping outfits and dazzling accessories. But what many fans do not talk about is the brand behind the latter: LVNA By Drake Dustin.
LVNA is a jewellery brand established in the Philippines by jeweller Drake Dustin Ibay and his team of artisans, goldsmiths and jewellery specialists. Their services include providing high-quality ready-made and bespoke diamonds across the globe.
In this article, Tatler looks into some of the most iconic LVNA pieces worn by Rabiya during the pageant.
