"We would like Manila to reclaim its place in Philippine fashion and culture, promote our local artists and the shops in Divisoria that play a big role in the textile trade. Manila offers a wide variety of inspiration and source of materials," Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna- Pangan said. Renowned fashion icons Albert Andrada, Michael Leva, Marlon Tuazon, Puey Quinones, and Jo Rubio will reveal their spellbinding collections, promoting the essence of Filipino heritage with cutting-edge trends. "This isn't just a show, it's a platform where emerging talents such as John Jade Montecalvo, Gabriel Buenabajo, and Corven Uy, radiate alongside the luminaries of Philippine design," the city government expressed.
