Set the style for the new generation!
Animax Fashion-Ability is back in the Philippines! This time, be inspired by Le Chevalier D’eon - the intriguing series on Animax - to create French-themed outfits with a fun and modern twist.
Show us your best French-inspired designs and get the chance to show them off on the runway! Plus, you could win an educational grant of US$2000 and be featured on Animax and INQUIRER.net!
Mystery and Intrigue in Paris
D’Eon is a young nobleman in King Louis XV’s court, but when his sister Lia—an agent of the king—turns up dead in a casket floating down the River Seine, he abandons his position and joins the king’s secret police, in his bid to uncover the circumstances behind his sister’s death.
With one mystery leading to another, D’Eon is drawn into the deadly world of political intrigue, forbidden alchemy, and the supernatural, where the only people he can trust are his fellow Chevaliers—as well as an unlikely ally.
As the restless soul of his murdered sister, Lia, wanders this world, she finds the perfect vessel through which she can exact her revenge—D’Eon’s own body.
