The country’s leading accessories designers will auction off their works during “Filipino Para sa Filipino,” the mega-fundraiser for the rehabilitation of the Visayas, which has been devastated by Supertyphoon “Yolanda.”
In order to bring Philippine products closer to their buyers, the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (Citem), the export marketing arm of the Philippine Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), brought Fashion Philippines to Fashion Access Hong Kong 2013 last Sept. 25-27 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center.
It wasn’t snow but it might as well have been a fresh pile of flurry, as guests in high heels tottered on the pristine shag carpeting at The Peninsula Manila’s Rigodon Ballroom. The carpet was laid out for the first-ever “Salon” show of Cesar Gaupo, Jojie Lloren, Dennis Lustico and Lulu Tan-Gan.
Four of the country’s top fashion designers will stage a show dubbed simply as “Salon.”
To feed the market’s insatiable appetite for accessories, Dennis Lustico is producing his first collection of evening bags using such materials as silk fringes and Lucite.
