Shangri-La Plaza puts the spotlight on
Filipino talent and creativity for its month-long celebration of “LIKHA”.
Fashion takes a different turn with Shang's latest runway offering, the Heritage
Fashion Show, parading pieces culled and curated from women
micro-entrepreneurs, indigenous peoples, and popular designers.
Initiated by GREAT Women, this elegant anthology promotes local
textile traditions by adapting them into stylish pieces in tune with current
trends. The showcase includes GREAT Women’s own GW Collection, along with works
from collaborators like fashion designer Rhett Eala, accessories brand Adante Leyesa, bag makers Fino Leatherware and
LARA, shoe artisan Ai-She, and clothing label Tygie.
As part of
anticipated pop-up event Filipino
Flavors and Fabrics: A GREAT Women Festival of Homegrown Food and Design
that promotes the country’s cultural heritage and livelihood-to-market
sustainability, the show also highlights eco-conscious fashion (in
contrast to mass produced fast fashion), which encourages slower production
schedules, lower carbon footprints, and importantly, fair wages for the
producers.
Shoppers at the Shang can update their
wardrobe and accessories with contemporary Filipiniana looks from merchants
like Beth Agarao, and support indigenous artisan labels like Angie’s Yakan
Cloth, Cowhed, and K’Datu Souvenirs. Brands like Bidibidi is also a must for
those who want to carry bags that combine traditional crafting techniques and
upcycled materials.
Aside from the amazing fashion, the festival
offers a delicious selection of local products such as Secret Kitchen of Samar
delicacies, Pamora Farms frozen produce, and Proudly Promdi beverages.
