10th Panasonic Manila Fashion Festival Sets Off A Splendid Fashion Celebration
Following this year’s series of fashion week festivities in New York, London, Milan, Paris and Tokyo, the 10th Panasonic Manila Fashion Festival kicked off with a blast on its opening day last April 2, at the EDSA Shangri-la, Marquee Tent.
Now celebrating its 10th season with a theme “Fashion Formation Decoded,” PMFF will showcase world-class designs of over 40 local and international designers in this 4-day fashion extravaganza.
The first day of the PMFF was attended by prominent guests which include various fashion personalities, designers, enthusiasts, and local celebrities, who strutted in their best dresses and suits at the venue.
For the first batch of the fashion festival, 10 designers showed off their fashion creations with each collection different from the other.
The show started with the fun and refreshing fashion pieces from the Singapore-based lifestyle fashion brand Zilingo. Local celebrities like Maymay Entrata, Edward Barbers, and Cai Cortez walked the runway for Zilingo wearing trendy prints and summer colors. It is followed by the vintage-chic pink collection from Yong Davalos.
