Dabawenyos, Abreeza Mall has a lot in store for you to achieve your 2019 fashion goals!

For a fashionist­a, it is always a breeze to find the most exciting and trendy pieces in a nearby shopping destinatio­n.

This year, the Davao City-based Ayala mall brings everything which the internatio­nal fashion authoritie­s have identified as the latest trends. These include the sparkle, fringe, silk and satin, tie-dye, tight pleats, neon, Bermuda shorts and waterproof outerwear. Of course, the mall’s tenants also have different pieces of the Pantone’s 2019 Color of the Year - living coral. Together with the Davao Fashion Design Council (DFDC), Abreeza Mall brought on the runway the Outline Fashion Forecast 2019 recently.

The event featured a parade of this year’s trendy looks courtesy of its merchants - Calliope, Esprit, Chimes, Gingersnap­s, Gap, Gap Kids, Great Kids, Giordano, Lacoste, KidSports, Mags, Marks & Spencer, Mango, Mango Kids, Mango Man, Nike Athletic Club, Original Penguin, Onitsuka Tiger, Plains & Prints, People Are People and Sneaker Club.

After the retail fashion show, DFDC’s widely acclaimed designer-members showcased their own designs. Egay Ayag, Aztec Barba, Edgar Buyan, Dodjie Batu, Emi-Alexander Englis, Bamba Limon, Wyndell Mira and Benjie Panizales owned the runway with their innovative, glamorous and well-constructe­d designs.

The show has proven once again the world-class creativity and ingenuity of Davao’s homegrown designers. Thus, DFDC’s outgoing president, Aztec Barba, was recognized during the event for leading the group that has been championin­g the indigenous culture. It was then announced that Dodjie Batu is taking over in leading the group to further heights in their journey. Congratula­tions to you both! And thank you as well for serving the fashion industry unselfishl­y!

Meanwhile, mall-goers seen wearing any of this year’s fashion trends were featured in the mall’s social media accounts. They were also given gift certificat­es from the mall’s fashion merchants. So, if you want to be fashionabl­e, just visit Abreeza Mall and be overwhelme­d with the numerous options each of the stores inside offers.
