Passion for Fashion

Student-Designer Jeffy Ticao
Iloilo is making a strong step forward towards becoming a leading fashion battlefield in the country. The country’s fashion industry’s growth is not coming from Manila or big cities such as Cebu and Davao anymore. Everyone is embracing the rise of Ilonggo designers and faces on the local and international runways.

The annual Indigenous Fiber Fashion Fair remains a platform for creative ability and offers top up-and-coming designers a chance to be discovered as such and to gain the attention of the fashion industry and the general public. It brings together Ilonggo individualities of such diverse, original stylistic expressions. The event also provides individual, professional support to up-and-coming designers.

Student-Designer Jo Nino Damasco
On its 9th year on August 3-7, 2016, the event will introduce nine new young students from the Bachelor of Science in Fashion Design and Merchandising of ISAT University who are passionate about their work and willing to share their expertise in fashion design. As testament to their versatility and creativity, they will showcase their designs using our hand-loomed fabrics on August 5 (Friday), 5 p.m. at the Event Center of SM City Iloilo.

These students studied fashion also learned about all aspects of the local fashion industry, including technical skills in drawing, apparel construction, tailoring processes, pattern cutting, crafting and fashion photography. The knowledge they have acquired in school and the exposure such as annual fashion shows and design competitions have equipped them with the understanding of the industry itself.

  2. hi sir, i am so elated, very happy, like floating in the air reading your comment. I am Bombette Marin and i actually work fulltime as the provincial tourism officer of Iloilo. My passion for writing has led me to write articles about tourism events the province is celebrating annually.

    I am not a computer buff and don't know anything about good layout that is why the simplest is best for me, most important is the content, the information i wish to impart to my readers.

    i am inspired by comments especially from people i dont know. THANK YOU, sir! i will continue writing.
