Check out this gallery of some of the looks and creative visions brought to life by the country’s top and emerging designers in one of Manila’s biggest and most awaited fashion events.

Jaz Cerezo

Veejay Floresca
(With the enchanting world of fairies and goddesses as the inspiration, the collection consists of evening dresses in tulle, chiffon, taffeta and lace with elegant embellishments)
CJ Martin

Esme
(The looks of this designers pieces evoke a fleeting feeling through dreamy couture and lightweight fabrics)
Mae Anne

Martin Bautista
(Inspired by the colors, strokes and imagery of the galaxy on children’s books, this designer transports us to when he was younger through a collection inspired by the elements he says he used to be obsessed with)
Brit Tripudio
(Influenced by the designer’s travels and the playful mix of the “I will wear what I want to wear” attitude of the Japanese, the collection explores punk and faux pas style of the Tokyo fashion culture)
