To kick-start the event, a 7-day Trade Fair showcasing Region IV’s local products and textiles from September 14 – 20, 2020 will be held at SM City Iloilo L/G upfront Toy Kingdom.

The 13^th Indigenous Fiber Fashion Fair will be simultaneously held at SM City Iloilo’s parking lot near Southpoint at 6 PM on September 18, 19, and 20, 2020.

Here’s the line-up of local designers that will present their collection the ‘new normal’ way:

The event will follow strict health and safety measures to protect everyone’s safety. Face shields and face masks are required. This is all under the Department of Tourism Region VI’s new tagline: Safely Experience Western Visayas First.

The event is directed by Bombette Golez Marin, hair and make-up by John Montinola, and models from Iloilo Models Guild. The event is also partnered by Panublix, Daily Guardian, and municipalities from Oton, Badiangan, Miagao, and Dueñas.
