ONCE AGAIN, JERRY SIBAL makes us proud. The world-renowned, New York-based designer started his creative profession with Oprah?s favorite designer, Preston Baily.

The Manila-born artist eventually put up his company, Design Fusion, with business partner Edwin Josue. He proved his mettle as a designer of environmental settings.

His clients include top international corporations, private individuals, celebrities and cultural edifices.

The recent launch of his latest coffee table book, ?An Event to Remember: Designing Spectacular Special Occasions,? was welcomed by a large group of friends, fans and family who trooped to Makati Shangri-La Hotel to view the spectacular floral designs that were greeted with ?oohs? and ?aahs? as various curtained displays were opened one at a time to reveal magical arrangements.
