If you’ve been to a Comme Çi trunk show before, then you probably think you know what’s coming. But trust us, this particular one is on another level. Imagine: Bagasao, Betina Ocampo, Carl Jan Cruz, Joey Samson, Rhett Eala, Daily Schedule New York, and Amelie Pichard all in one place. And those are not even all of them. How can you say no?
Happening April 5 to 9 at 38/F The Loft at the Manansala Rockwell Center, Makati City.
Voyage Trunk Show
You’ll be very sorry if you don’t go to this one. Voyage features designers Bianca Santos’ bold, chunky jewelry, Lourdes Sanvicente’s sustainable swimwear, and Hindy Weber’s ethically-produced summer apparel. Yeah, we’re very excited about it too—especially about Hindy. It’s been a long time coming, but she’s finally releasing an RTW line again. We already had a first peek, and let’s just say you won’t be disappointed.
Happening April 5 to 6 at 6232 Mañalac St., Poblacion, Makati.
Tag-Araw by Tropa
Tag-araw, as the event name suggests, is all about setting us up for the warmer season. Drop by to shop the new collection from Áraw, Pranca, Rô, and Halo Halo. Oh, and you can also find Carl Jan Cruz’ special one-offs at this show. Another label we’re excited about is Tropical Futures. They’re set to release new colorways of their well-loved Philippine Love Songs Shirt, and we want first dibs!
Happening April 6, 2 pm at the Tropa store, 117 Aguirre, Legazpi Village, Makati,
Filip + Inna Pop Up Show
Filip Inna is known for their pieces inspired by our traditions. The label is proud of utilizing ancient techniques of weaving, embroidery and beadwork from different indigenous groups of the Philippines to bring to life to their every creation and help talented local artisans with their livelihood. Don’t worry, you still have time because the pop up is open all-month long
Happening April 2 to May 31 at R2-265, R2 Level, Powerplant, Rockwell Center.
Spectrum Fair
If “shop ‘til you drop” is your mindset, then head over to the Spectrum Fair this weekend. With more than a hundred local brands from food, home, lifestyle, arts and crafts, and of course, fashion, I’m sure you’ll be able to cross off all the items on your summer must-haves list—maybe even more. Have fun browsing through the various selection of participating local brands like Coral swimwear, Swim After Dawn, The Olive Tree PH, Style Cat, Sunday Sky, Vin Perez Ensemble, Mantou Clothing, Vera Clothing, and so much more. Don’t forget to bring a reusable bag!
Happening April 6 to 7 at The Fifth At Rockwell, Makati.
