On the third and last day, Bench Fashion Week showed us the duality of what we can expect to see in the coming summer months.

To end their three-day long event, Bench presented two major runway shows featuring Bench Swim and Michael Levya. The revealing nature of Bench Swim’s apparel contrasted Michael Levya’s volumized looks. Even with this as the case, the two shows beautifully complemented each other with their bright colors and fashion forward designs.

In the gallery below, we have compiled our favorite looks from each show. Go check them out and tell us which ones are your favorites!

Bench Swim

For their collection, Bench Swim served us a multitude of beachwear looks from men’s to womens, from colorful to neutral. The show was certainly able to present versatility in their pieces as well as innovative design in tropical wear. We just love how well Bench styled their women’s swim looks and how well the men’s prints were created.

Michael Leyva

Michael Levya continues to stun us with his collection’s bright glam and large draping. This collection not only accentuated the techniques this designer is known for, but also interpreted Philippine mythology in a way that feels close to home while remaining modern. The collection’s variety of silhouettes, use of delicate craftsmanship, and overall shimmering effect definitely brought Philippine mythology to life.
