When Nicole Borromeo stepped onto the runway in a breathtaking Almodal creation during EC Entertainment + Media’s NYFW Season 1, it wasn’t just a fashion moment—it was a celebration of artistry, heritage, and quiet strength.
Hailing from Cebu, Philippines, Nicole is no stranger to the spotlight. Crowned Binibining Pilipinas International 2022 and placing as 3rd Runner-Up at Miss International 2023, she’s earned her place among the Philippines’ most admired beauty queens. But beyond the titles and crowns, Nicole brings something rare to the runway: a calm confidence that doesn’t demand attention—it earns it.
“Walking NYFW felt surreal,” Nicole shared. “It was more than just a show—it was a moment of joy, of representing my roots, and of feeling completely present in something I love.”

At NYFW, she didn’t just wear the gown—she told a story with it. Draped in Almodal’s signature opulence, Nicole moved with a blend of poise and playfulness, clearly savoring the moment. Backstage, she was all smiles and warmth, connecting with fellow models and creatives with the same grace she brings to every stage she steps on.
What makes Nicole stand out isn’t just her beauty or accolades—it’s her authenticity. Whether she’s sketching as an interior design student, volunteering for relief efforts in her hometown, or walking for a global designer in New York, she shows up fully. Present. Grounded. Joyful.
Her NYFW appearance wasn’t just a runway debut—it was a reminder that elegance doesn’t have to be loud, and that the most powerful performances often come from those who are simply being themselves.
Your walk. Your story. Your season to shine.
