Filipino trans designer Veejay Floresca, who recently made history as the first transgender winner of ‘Project Runway Season 21’, is celebrating another milestone—this time in her personal life.
Floresca announced her engagement to her long-time partner, Ryan, through a heartfelt Facebook post, where she shared photos of the couple and proudly showed off her engagement ring.
“Thinking of a perfect caption, but I can’t think of anything. All I know is I’m ready to spend the rest of my life with you,” Veejay wrote.
The announcement was met with an outpouring of love and congratulations from fellow Filipino designers and members of the fashion community, many of whom praised the designer not only for her professional achievements but also for embracing love openly and proudly.
Veejay’s engagement comes shortly after her landmark victory on ‘Project Runway Season 21’, where she was hailed for her technical skill, creativity, and distinctive voice in fashion. Her win was widely celebrated as a historic moment for LGBTQ+ representation on the global fashion stage.
Long before her international triumph, Floresca first caught public attention as a finalist in the inaugural season of ‘Project Runway Philippines’ in 2008—making her recent win a full-circle moment nearly two decades in the making.
Known globally as a celebrated bridal couture designer who has dressed iconic brides around the world, Floresca is now preparing to walk down the aisle herself—marking a deeply personal chapter after years of crafting wedding dreams for others.
