The recently concluded Panasonic Manila Fashion Festival gave us so much fashion moments to remember. On their 13th season, PMFF redefined themselves as a Filipino fashion platform that connects designers, brands, suppliers, retail partners, fashion students, and fashion coalitions in the Philippines. Gone are the days when this organization only existed as a runway event! This year, PMFF is bound to reach far more audiences with their inspiring initiatives.

For their 13th season, PMFF invited 20 Filipino designers. The four-day event was filled with nothing but the best of Filipino talent and design. In the gallery down below, take a look at the standout runway looks from each designer during their PMFF presentations. From Aranaz’s take on weave play, Ditta Sandico’s unique pieces made from Banaca, Kelvin Morales’ dystopian collection, Marc Rancy’s rendezvous-worthy ensembles, to Rhett Eala’s seasonless clothing, and more, here's the only PMFF round-up you'll ever need.

This cropped blazer and trousers combination definitely made heads turn on the runway.

Ditta Sandico’s take on Filipiniana ensembles celebrates not only its rich heritage but also the weavers of Catanduanes. ‘Tropical Paradise’ highlights the organically grown and handwoven Banaca fabrics from Catanduanes. The traditional silhouettes paired with the vibrant colors of the Banaca fabric made this collection stood out for many reasons.

S’TOI|C

Skin, flesh, and raw are S’TOI|C’s texture, tone, and theme for this year’s PMFF runway. The brand’s premiere collection has a pretty straight forward theme with no hidden meanings. We love a brand that has an ‘it is what it is’ design philosophy!
