Fashion chases on with the time, clinging on the essence of the now. Though in each of its revolution, it's also important to acknowledge its heritage and to honor its past. And that is exactly what the Philippine Fashion Ball sets out to do, as this grand annual event celebrates with the movers and innovators of the fashion industry and gives honorable recognition to those established names who have long contributed to it. And now on its 6th year, the Philippine Fashion Ball highlights the new names of fashion designers of the generation. And with the help of online pioneer Lazada, the ball made a fun new trend to party hard and shop at the same time.
In the event, guests wore their best Punk formal ensembles which suited the fresh and cool new atmosphere as Punk is known for its independence from the usual fashion norms with its bold and brave character and it was only appropriate as the night prepares to commemorate 5 of the most established young bloods in the industry -- designers Bea Samson, RJ Santos, Esme Palaganas, Rik Rasos and Patrick Bondoc.
Of course the commemorations wouldn't stop there as 9 other deserving fashion groundbreakers were given recognition as well. The first two awardees were renowned makeup artists Omar Ermita and Robbie Piñera for their outstanding expertise in their field. For the modeling sector, 2 of Manila's top models Jodilly Pendre and Miko Raval both received awards including the ever radiant supermodel Izza Gonzales-Agana. For the mastery of fashion photography, it was the talented Paolo Pineda who was deemed worthy of recognition for his captivating results. Industry awards were also give out to Creative Director Eldzs Mejia and Exec. Editor Geolette Esguerra who represented their team in METRO Magazine for their powerful MetroWear fashion campaign, Style Weekend magazine Editor-in-Chief Liza Ilarde and Preview magazine Editor-in-Chief Isha Andaya-Valles for their passion, dedication and contributions to the fashion world through their respective mediums.
The event also congratulated 5 of the Best-Dressed awardees of the night-- the very fashionable stylist siblings Daryl and Andre Chang, ADHD Magazine's Cenon Norial III and Mav Bernerdo and model Julls Culas.
As co-presenters of this year's event, Lazada Philippines also gave out a reward voucher woth P30,000 to supermodel Tweetie de Leon-Gonzalez for winning the night's #PFB2016XLAZADA contest as well.
The fashion realm is indeed a rather vast and complex collective visual display of creative talent, but those within it know another world. It may take a while to understand it but truly there is more to it than meets the eye. And as the 6th Philippine Fashion Ball ended the night with success, those who have partaken in it will continue living on the country's fashion legacy that will be passed down from one generation to the next.
