I met Joey Mead King at a photo shoot while I was visiting Manila in 2010. We have a lot of friends in common so the connection was immediate. I just loved her easygoing attitude, her integrity and passion for her causes and of course, her personal sense of style. She walks in and everyone notices. When I did my first collaboration for Bench in Manila I asked her to host the show for me which she agreed to do immediately.

For those of you who don’t know her, Joey is a Filipino-Iranian television personality, fashion lifestyle host, runway coach and was the model mentor/co-judge on popular reality show, Asia's Next Top Model in 2012 and 2015. She was also listed as one of BBC's 100 Women in 2018. She’s also a huge animal activist and has quite a number of rescued dogs and cats.

Since the pandemic hit the Philippines she has been spending a lot of time in the province and has taken up knitting.
