Lesley Mobo is known in the fashion arena for his elaborated designs and flamboyant combinations of bright colors. But despite his popularity in the western part of the globe, this native of Aklan Province is more than proud of where he came from. 

The UK-based fashion designer received several recognitions here in the country and abroad. But he believes that work do not stop after achieving something bigger than expected. He continues to excel in his craft by producing more sophisticated creations, but he humbles himself of his roots and experiences as an Aklanon and as a Filipino. 

Mobo is currently one of the judges in the Season 3 of Project Runway Philippines. He believes that he can be an inspiration to budding fashion designers, especially that he has a strong foundation of working in busy fashion streets abroad. His expertise will surely be of great help, especially among amateurs who would like to enhance more their fashion skills.
