Davao’s top designers showcase 100-piece collection for the Benefit of the Weaving Communities of b.LOOM Project

Members of the Davao Fashion and Design Council Foundation Inc. (DFDCI) recently presented a 100-piece collection during The Stellar Fashion Gala, a fundraising charity event for the benefit of b.LOOM Project’s weaving communities in partnership with Mindanao Trade Expo Foundation, Inc. (MTEFI).

Held at the luxurious Samal Grand Ballroom at Discovery Samal in Davao, the Luxe Resort collection highlighted the use of Philippine tropical fabrics–abaca, bandala, piña, banana, kawayarn and other textiles–produced alongside DOST- Philippine Textile Research Institute by designers such as Aztec Barba, Dodjie Batu, Emi Englis, Popoy Barba, Edgar Buyan, Egay Ayag, Windel Mira, and Benjie Panizales.

The Stellar Fashion Gala was more than just an ultra-chic evening of distinctly Philippine fabrics. It was an unforgettable labor of love which showed the launch of the b.LOOM Project, DFDCFI’s initiative to reframe the Davao artisanal weaving brand by realigning to the country’s perceived fashion niche in view of design identity and regenerative sustainability. The b.LOOM Project is a global artisanal brand manifesting DFDCFI’s distinctive Davao niche in fashion beyond the loom.

Proceeds from the event went to the b.LOOM Project’s Sustainable Enterprise Program on Indigenous and Emerging Artisanal Textile Weaving among Davao Region’s Extra-Mile Creative Communities. The Mindanao Trade Expo Foundation, Inc. (MTEFI) played an integral role in ensuring deserving communities were identified and the donation was adequately distributed.

Recognized for its active participation in renowned events such as Miss Universe, Manila FAME, and other various fashion festivals, DFDCFI serves as a beacon of creativity and innovation in the region.

“We’re in awe of the creativity and proudly Davaeño displayed by the b.LOOM Project at The Stellar Fashion Gala,” Beatrice Gonzalez – Magallanes, President of Discovery Samal mused. “We look forward to welcoming more fantastic events with a priceless view of the Davao Gulf at Discovery Samal. Samal Grand Ballroom is ready for your next spectacular milestones.”

Discovery Samal’s Samal Grand Ballroom can host up to 1,200 guests. The resort also offers more intimate event spaces for cozier events and meetings. For more information on the Samal Grand Ballroom and The Stellar Fashion Gala, visit the official Discovery Samal website.
