In its continuing support to Filipino retailers and entrepreneurs, Ayala Malls partners with The Philippine Fashion Coalition for a series of trunk shows featuring the latest collections from top local designers and artisan labels. The fashion fair is a national special project campaign to aid and promote Filipino creativity and craftsmanship. Joined by designers from Metro Manila, Cebu, Cagayan De Oro to Davao, the Filipino Fashion Fair at Ayala Malls is set to bring back the joy of shopping experience in a safe environment while raising funds to uplift the Filipino fashion industry as a whole.
Fashion Director Jackie Aquino and Accessory Designer Amina Aranaz Alunan found a home for The Philippine Fashion Coalition in Ayala Malls, which sought after them and offered its venue since its inception as part of the mall’s initiative to support local designers, retailers, and other players from the industry. Ayala Malls President, Jennylle Tupaz shares, “We are showcasing quality craftsmanship among many Filipino designers, whom we celebrate and are very proud of. Happing from December 3, 2020 to January 31, 2021, a Philippine Fashion Coalition mall tour will highlight the latest fashion collections of our country’s creative minds from all over the nation.”
