Michi Calica has sat down with countless brides-to-be in search of that one perfect gown.

More than 15 years in the industry, Michi Calica is synonymous with her signature style: up-to-the-minute without being shallow; pretty without being cloying; and glamorous without being intimidating.

For further studies, she attended the Art Institute of Seattle where she earned a Carolina Herrera Scholarship. She showcased her work in the Asian Fashion Grand Prix in Japan and Jeunes Createurs de Mode in Paris.

At present, she resides with her husband, Jose Sotto and three lovely daughters, Katerina, Christiana and Amanda in Manila.
