Some of the most celebrated Filipino fashion designers will present their collections in a special setting at the 60th edition of Manila FAME, to be held from October 16-19, 2014, in Pasay City.

International fashion icon Josie Natori will lead the island-inspired collection at Manila Wear—a platform for the country’s finest collections of tropical and resort wear collections of apparel, accessories, and other wearables infused with traditional yet contemporary elements.

For the latest edition, Natori will unify 10 of Philippines’ most celebrated fashion designers to present their collections in a special setting that will feature Luxe’s timeless and universal fashion pieces. The select group of ten designers includes Ivarluski Aseron, Avel Bacudio, JC Buendia, Rhett Eala, Cesar Gaupo, Rajo Laurel, Dennis Lustico, Randy Ortiz, Joey Samson, and Lulu Tan-Gan.

“Manila Wear’s collective designers are set to capture what the local fashion is all about: Filipino and global at the same time,” says the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM), the Department of Trade and Industry’s (DTI) export-marketing arm and organizer of the event.

At the event, Filipino’s mastery in handicraft will be exemplified in a separate special setting with the collaboration of rising designers—Amina Aranaz, Len Cabili, Tipay Caintic, Carissa Cruz-Evangelista, Maco Custodio, Lally Dizon, Joel Escober, Twinkle Ferraren, Emi Jorge, Adante Leyesa, Joyce Makitalo, Arnel Papa, Malou Romero, Anne Saguil, Ken Samudio, Michelline Syjuco, and Nicole Whisenhunt.

Manila FAME is Asia’s premier design and lifestyle event that exhibits the finest Philippine-made products from home, holiday, and fashion sectors. It is Philippines’ premier trade platform for exports and design, providing opportunities for small and medium scale entrepreneurs to showcase their products in the world market. (RKS)
