...stark contrast is the Tondo slum on Manila's northern waterfront ? a maze of alleys, mud-floored huts, hovels built from packing cases. Some 8,000 pushcarts roll through Tondo in search of trash and scrap paper, the collection of which is the district's principal occupation. Tondo's kids are a combination of the worst in American and Asian street gangs: the "Canto Boys," with their distinctive madre tattoos, would as soon knife a stranger as zip-gun a passing police...

His most famous dress is undoubtedly the basic, columnar, $3,000 sequined full-length sheath that he has been making, with minor variations, since...
