'Mindanao Tapestry' show dazzles fashionistas

-


Top Filipino fashion designer Renee Salud has said that the critically-acclaimed Mindanao Tapestry fashion show will continue to go around the world to wow other countries of the best Mindanao fabrics.


"Next month sa Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Doha. In August sa Canada and Italy," said Salud, during the jampacked and colorful fashion show held at the Marco Polo in Ortigas recently.


The same fashion show will also be staged in Malacanang soon. The team of Salud has just arrived from Germany where the show kicked off its world tour.


It would be recalled that that the Mindanao Tapestry show debuted in January during the 2016 Miss Universe beauty pageant season in the Philippines.


Twenty-nine candidates then of the Miss Universe 2016 beauty contest modeled neo-ethnic fashion of Salud and the Mindanao weavers during an hour-long presentation in Davao City.


"By showcasing the best of Mindanao, the 29 candidates will be let in to a Mindanao that it is rich in culture, beauty and tradition, not a Mindanao that is ridden in strife and conflict as portrayed in media," said Salud, who conceptualized the Mindanao show in 2016.


Some of the candidates who wore Mindanao fabrics then include delegates from Argentina, Belgium, Bulgaria, Philippines, Russia, Venezuela, USA, Mexico, Paraguay, Netherlands, India, Namibia, Hungary, Ecuador, etc.


Asked what he has achieved so far in staging the fashion show, Salud said: "Actually I was able to achieve what I tried to advocate - to be of help in promoting the Philippine fashion abroad. Modesty aside, I was able to do it."
Salud also said that the fashion show has received "good reviews and good applause."


"Ang tela ng Mindanao may sarili s'yang character. This show is all about empowerment. So paano natin sila ma-e-empower? Bigyan sila ng magandang trabaho. And what is the best trabaho - the weaving industry," he said. - Robert R. Requintina/TEMPO

Kapamilya star Diego Loyzaga has admitted that he is reaching out to his father chief operating officer of Tourism Promotions Board Cesar Montano but he doesn't know if his dad knew that he was making the move. "Oo I am. Pero I don't even know kung alam n'ya. During the Christmas party of ABS CBN last year, I was with Tito Bayani (Agbayani). E magkapitbahay silang dalawa. And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh.

Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont...
