DLS-CSB FDM program to stage virtual showcase
THE Fashion, Design and Merchandising (FDM) program of De La Salle-college of Saint Benilde will present “Sinulid Epilogue 20-21,” a virtual affair on March 19 and 20, which will showcase the works of FDM students during the pandemic.
This will be the FDM’S first virtual event since the local fashion industry took a hiatus because of the current health crisis. According to the program’s students, “Sinulid…” will be a form of encouragement and support for them in pursuing their dreams in the fashion industry.
The show aims to be a platform of advocacy to all students and industry practitioners in the fashion industry, as well as harness their talents and crafts for them to prevail and be utilized for good causes.
Instead of a customary annual graduation fashion show, the FDM said it chose to be of service to fellow Filipinos during these difficult times. Last year, the program’s students and faculty members initiated a community service by creating personal protective equipment and face masks as donations to frontliners.
“The virtual affair is a way for us to motivate young fashion dreamers by showcasing their resourcefulness, creativity, and innovativeness through the different activities planned,” the FDM said in a statement. “For ‘Sinulid…,’ we will have the official launch of [our web site and three-week virtual gallery exhibit parading the graduation collection of our students, a fashion parody competition entitled ‘#FDMRECOUTURE,’ and a series of webinars which will feature] industry leaders such as Maco Custodio, Nina Opida, Josef Werber, and more.”
The virtual show is being organized in cooperation with Triple K, Manila Fashion Supplies, Manila Bay Thread Corp., Humble Sustainability and Beatriz Accessories. Check out event details and updates through FDM’S Facebook page,
