Filipino designers presented their latest creations in celebration of Manila City’s 453rd founding anniversary For many Filipino designers, their journey starting in the industry wouldn't be complete without a trip to Divisoria. A market known far and wide in the Philippines, Divisoria is home to many goods at budget-friendly prices. Whatever one needs, there is a stall for it.
Among its top products are textiles, embellishments, and other materials a dressmaker or designer needs. That’s why the City of Manila dedicated its second edition of Rampa Manila to Divisoria, recognizing its legacy in the local fashion landscape. Manila City Mayor Sheila "Honey" Lacuna-Pangan spearheaded this year’s Rampa Manila.
Together with the show’s creative director, Bang Pineda, they played with the theme “Textile, Texture, and Technique,” with a mission to showcase the best designers in today’s fashion scene and the up-and-coming talents people should have on their radar. On June 19, Rampa Manila invited the capital’s most stylish crowd to witness its grandest edition yet. While the guests arrived wearing their chicest black ensembles, the Bulwagang Rodriguez of Manila City Hall was dressed in ethereal white, ready to be the black canvas for the designers’ creations.
Morisette Magalona’s collection is where traditional style meets a space-age vibe. The young designer added a futuristic twist on the Filipiniana, while still paying homage to the country’s national emblems..
