According to Ghost's website, the Salma dress is crafted from satin. It features an elegant cowl back, flattering capped sleeves, and a chic boat neck.
The dress is available in various colors but Seydoux' was wearing Salma in dusty green for Spectre.
Last October, Mobo showcased his creations at the Red Charity Gala organized by society icon Tessa Prieto-Valdes and philanthropist Kaye Tinga to raise funds for the Philippine Red Cross and the Assumption High School Batch 1981 Foundation.
The fashion designer, who spent his early years in Aklan before moving to England, is known for his mastery of designing and tailoring soft, feminine dresses with an edgy, structural touch.
His trademark looks combine vintage styles and new materials that sometimes reflect a fun, street vibe.
Mobo graduated from the London art and design college Central St. Martin's in 2002 with a First Class BA Honors Degree in Fashion.
His designs were featured in the "Fashion in Motion" exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum with his masterpieces featured by the BBC in 2002.
He also started wholesaling his MOBO women's wear line in Paris during Paris Fashion Week in 2009, which these designs featured in Italian Vogue.
Since 2013, he designed the top selling T-shirt line "MOBO Lesley Mobo" (Women, Men, Girls, Kids and Babies) for Japanese brand Uniqlo. —Trisha Macas/NB, GMA News
