There is a dearth of individual pictures that showcase the
gowns of the Miss World 2012 candidates for the Fashion Designer award. There
are 125 candidates and looking up for the pictures of each candidate is quite
difficult but this writer tried hard to scour the internet highway. Now here’s
my take for the gowns that the candidates used.

| Argentina-Denmark-Philippines-Puerto Rico-Wales |
Generally, most of the designs of the gowns that the
candidates wore were ordinary to me. I have seen those designs in most pageants
I have seen. There were just modifications. I understand that it is a fashion
designer award. It gives the award to the gown that is best in design. Based on
my choices, the gowns that will compete for the award are the following:
Argentina, Denmark, Philippines, Puerto Rico and Wales. Argentina’s dress is simple in cut and design. The gown trappings
are also simple but they are impeccably arranged such that the gown comes out
very elegant when it was already worn. On the other hand, Denmark used a straight cut designed gown with a V-shaped bare back
to highlight its exquisiteness. The Philippines’
red gown done by Michael Cinco was praised by the Miss World Blogger as
stunning. It really is because of intricate work that was done in the gown. Miss Puerto Rico’s gown was also a
fully-beaded ensemble and that it is in shades of blue. Although the cut is
simple, because of the intricate beadwork it came out very elegant. Lastly, Miss Wales, used a mermaid cut gown
with full beadings on the middle portion of the gown and it came out also very
elegant with her. I have a gut feeling that it would be a competition between
Philippines, Puerto Rico and Wales in the designer award.
