artistic and ingenious thought that comes to life through a masterpiece
— the designer.

In the Philippines, the School of Fashion and the Arts (SOFA) headed
by Amina Aranaz-Alunan is a cradle where new and aspiring designers are
born. They dream of making it in the local industry and later on the
world. Just recently, the creative institution has presented its Batch

Mendiola, Karen Castro, Arianne Tonda, Keena Tria, Pristine de Guzman,

Philippine fashion is indeed hopeful as it is constantly evolving and
forming an industry of endless talent. More and more names will be
proclaimed as the country continuously produces, promotes and
optimistically supports outstanding talent. Where global fashion is
endlessly in search of the next big thing all over the world, there will
always be Filipinos who will absolutely make the mark.
