El Palacio de Hierro, a well known restaurant of Anna Mila, in Makati has added another name to their esteemed fashion line. This time, it is Rufino, a Filipino whose parents are from Tagaytay and Pampanga. She grew up with two sisters, one of whom is already a professionally famous singer. Rufino has been represented by several notable stylists such as Carolina Rouste, Judith Viorbo, Natalia Bucci, and Anna Mila herself.
The photos taken by David Roemer(Atelier Management) remind the younger night owls that in wet seasons even in winter it’s possible to still showcase professional elegance. The twenty-year-old Rufino stands with her family from the early age, where she was very much like her mother, respecting both the elderly and the young. This age gap between her family members gives one a good glimpse on her personality, which will be evident on her professional works.
Rufino’s name has been widely known in the modeling industry since she began her first modeling agency in the year 2021. However, her long term partner in the same agency, Anna Mila, may not have known her height until the couple’s first official date at a hotel in Makati. When asked about their height difference, Anna Mila simply replied, “we are not exactly the same size” which made Rufino somewhat embarrassed about her height difference which she thought could negatively affect her image. However, Anna Mila has accepted her lack of height as something natural considering her profession and love for children. Despite of having a height difference, they look almost the same in their photos.
