Iloilo’s fashion
industry is getting big and overflowing with talent that we are always on the
lookout for new talent among fashion designers.
The Indigenous Fiber
Fashion Fair has been an annual launch pad for young talented Ilonggo fashion
designers over the past years. As the Indigenous Fiber Fashion Fair returns to
SM City Iloilo on August 24-26, 2018 at the north wing, here are designers to
have on your radar.
DARYL AMAR. This
Leon-based designer is known for his sumptuous, yet very elegant designs.
Detailed embellishment is something you will see a lot of on his creations and
he knows just how to use it without going overboard. On his second year as
featured designer for the annual Indigenous Fiber Fashion Fair, Amar is set to
feature his collections for Prima, in rich, opulent colors and textures for a
woman who likes to make an entrance. Amar is a graduate in Fashion Design and
Merchandising at ISAT-University.
MARK ARNEL GACHO. A
native of Oton, Iloilo will make his debut with the annual fashion fair
showcasing his designs for Preciosa on the opening day on August 24 at 5:30
p.m. Gacho will create an entire collection built around relaxed, low-key
dressing. His ability to make casualwear look so effortless, flirty and appeals
to the more adventurous fashionistas has been the trademark of his pieces.
Gacho earned his degree in Bachelor of Science Major in Medical Laboratory
Science at the University of San Agustin in 2016.
KEVIN HIBALLES. From
Calinog, Iloilo, the designer will unveil his designs for Hablon Moda on August
