The silhouettes begin with a warrior-like armor—structured, commanding,&quot; says Ica.</p><div><br/></div><p>Last week, the girls took the stage in gilded dresses and <em>salakot</em> hats; this week, BINI kept it cool in sunglasses and edgy, structured ensembles. They stepped out in looks elevated by denim cutouts and metallic textures, reflecting Ica Villanueva’s style direction—a bold blend of heritage and futurism.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1776476834309[image] - 9461380.jpeg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Moments before the show, BINI shares a snap while wearing their custom sunglasses | Photo from BINI/Weverse </span></span></span></div><p>Ica worked with the same roster of designers to deliver an impactful wardrobe for BINI. <strong>Marian Zara</strong> designed the custom warrior outfits, <strong>Job Dacon</strong> worked on the metallic bodysuit, while <strong>Raf Villas</strong> shared his expertise with custom Y2K flowers to complete the look. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1776474350683[image] - 8014444.jpeg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">BINI&#x27;s weekend 2 performance looks for Coachella | Photo from @bini_ph on Instagram</span></span></span></div><p>BINI’s Coachella wardrobe signals the promising rise of P-pop fashion on the global stage. By reimagining traditional elements through a high-shine, futuristic lens, the group—together with their visual director Ica and designers Marian, Job, and Raf—crafts a visual narrative rooted in Filipino pride. We’re excited to see where BINI is headed next and how they’ll continue to shape a distinctly Filipino voice in global fashion.</p><div><br/></div><div><em>Read more fashion stories on Metro.Style</em></div>
