Rhett Eala to headline 2025 Red Charity Gala
THE Red Charity Gala, one of the leading fashion and charity galas in the country, holds its 14th iteration, with top Filipino designer Rhett Eala as this year’s featured designer. The event will be held at The Peninsula Manila on Oct. 4. Launched in 2009, the Red Charity Gala was organized by philanthropists Tessa Prieto and Kaye Tinga to benefit the Assumption HS 81 Foundation, Hope for Lupus Foundation and the Philippine Red Cross. The charity gala has been a platform to showcase the works of renowned local fashion designers including Dennis Lustico, Furne One, Michael Cinco, Cary Santiago, Ezra Santos, Jojie Lloren, Lesley Mobo, Chito Vijandre, Joey Samson, Rajo Laurel, Ivarluski Aseron, and Lulu Tan-Gan. This year, the spotlight is on Eala who said in a statement: “It felt like an out-of-body experience when I was first told about being the Red Charity designer for this year. I feel excited now because I haven’t done a solo show in many years, perhaps even decades.” Red Charity Gala is presented by Bench together with Arthaland, with major sponsors Diagold, Emirates Airlines, Jewelmer, and The Peninsula Manila.
