Forty-four promising designers are set to take fashion innovation into a wider scale through Sinulid 2022, a digital runway show that serves as their initial launch on Friday, March 18.

Sinulid is the highly successful culminating event that annually showcases the knowledge, craftsmanship, and skills of the graduating Fashion Design and Merchandising (FDM) students of De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde School of Design and Arts.

Themed Patches of Introspection, this year’s installment utilizes the vast possibilities of technology as young artists exemplify diverse ways to communicate individual perspectives and artistic journeys amid a period of global upheaval.

The virtual display will feature manipulation of new and unconventional materials and exploration of different techniques such as 3D and eco-printing, quilting and fabric sculpting, jewelry-making and beading.

Sinulid 2022 will debut collections from dark ensembles that narrate stories of grotesque tales, strange characters, and creeping anxieties to dazzling ’70s glam rock fashion reminiscent of the happy-go-lucky days of the disco balls.

There will also be silhouettes that embody self-discoveries and emotional phases amid the world’s longest lockdown, to ready-to-wear eco-dyed pieces that evoke the value of healing through consciousness.

Culture and tradition will be highlighted in stylish handembroidered looks evocative of the various Chinese festivals, as well as Samurai-inspired garments as a nod to the invaluable ideals of the Japanese.

Inclusion is also considered with trendy but practical wear for athletic children, plus protective gears motivated by plus-sized women.
