Salon was conceptualized to show the designers’ collections to a more intimate audience, such that the group also wants to keep the annual affair to a maximum of five designers.

On its first year, the trio had Jojie Lloren as guest. Samson also showed his collection with them last year.

“We each have our signature look, and we share clients. So it’s an avenue for us to open our clients’ eyes to choices,” Tan-Gan says.

Most importantly, she adds, “Salon” is their platform to show their innovations as Filipino designers in the face of the influx of foreign brands.

At 4 p.m. tomorrow at Samsung Hall, the designers will conduct a talk with fashion design students.
