 “Globe Telecom, through 0917 Lifestyle, has always been supportive in the development of the country’s fashion industry—its new blood, the awe-inspiring ideas and the bold designs that keep it alive. StyleFestPH 2019 is our way to give our young designers a venue to express their creativity and provide them the means to reach a wider local audience and even the international market,” says 0917 Lifestyle head Leah De Guzman.

 Aside from the Designer Mentorship Program, Style Fest PH 2019 offers a wide array of activities which include trend talks, designers in the spotlight, runway shows and shopping parties from November 4 to 6.

 Beyond the clothing, guests can also gain insights and inspirations from the industry’s success stories through the “Designers on Spotlight.” This will highlight important aspects of fashion and digital business. The first part dubbed as “Roots” will focus support for local artisans and in promoting the use of culturally rich clothing such as Jusi and T’nalak featuring designers Paloma Zobel, Chris Nick and Mark Bumgarner on November 4.

Boom Sason, on the other hand, will talk about promoting and championing body confidence through the way she designs her line on November 5, while Bang Pineda takes the limelight on November 6.

The three-day fashion event also will also have its unique” see now buy now” aspect after each runway show. Selected items from existing collections of the five designers will also be available for purchase by the audience.

Finally, Fashion SNOOPS will share its fashion forecasts that will shape the consumer market on November 6. Fashion Snoops, a global trend forecasting company, will also provide fashion industry movers the knowledge of how to strategize and make a campaign work.
