For
the last eight years, featuring new fashion designers had been a mission of the
annual Indigenous Fiber Fashion Fair. And this year is no different. The event
will gather the most promising up-and-coming young fashion designers who were
chosen for their dedication and talent to their craft.

| young fashion designer, Margaux Blas |
With
talent and skill, the 26 year-old Ajuy, Iloilo- based fashion designer Margaux
Blas likes to combine the traditional with the modern. She graduated with a
degree in Fashion Design and Merchandising at De La Salle College of St.
Benilde in Manila. She takes her inspiration from life, from her travels,
culture, cinema, music, and social life. She believes that fashion has always
been a lifestyle.
The
young designer is set to revolutionize Ilonggo fashion and celebrate style in a
serious way. She likes being different but casual at the same time; a little
androgynous and mismatched. She grew up dressing differently, quite rebellious
with her fashion sense and loves to find a balance between masculinity and
femininity. She had always been creative with her style. She gets inspiration from 70's to 90's
movies. Her style icons are mostly musicians like Jimi Hendrix or Kurt Cobain.
She believes that Individuality is one important thing that is refreshing in
the fashion industry.
On
her core collections for ANYAG on August 4 (Thursday) at 6 p.m., SM City Event
Center, Margaux will offer a fresh take on hand-loom fashion inspired by the
farmers who work in their farm in Ajuy, Iloilo.
The designer got inspired with what farmers wear when they are at work.
She will also incorporate menswear to women’s, with a very laid back twist and
a little bit of "street" in it.
Unconventional
cuts make the fashion pieces in in her collection suitable for everyday wear
with fashionable look, practical usability and comfortable wear. Her use of
materials, combining other unconventional fabrics and hablon stands as a symbol
of both power and style.
