Inspired from  the tapis, Esmee Palaganas' collection emanates traditional basic powerful dressing that is subtle and exuding a romantic vibe. The linear patterns creates an illusion making it hard to forget. 

Bengt Enrique's Caliope's Dream collection in collaboration with artist Feanne is a standout for me. The use of elaborate visual prints showcases Bengt's collection's incorporation of Feanne's astounding artworks highlighted with metal rings, volumes and ruffles, and shiny fabrics that executes a genesis of distinct aesthetics making Bengt a force to be reckoned with.

Tony Evan's collection blew me away during the MFF S/S 2016, he really knows how to flatter a woman's curve. And this time, he did not disappoint everyone with his collection, The New Baroque. Structured, classic drapings, and minimal is what makes the collection distinct. I'm really looking forward to his future collections. And I must say, the collection are all TDF!

Anthony Ramirez for Teofila featured a color-blocked ensembles. The striking tones flatter not only the one who will wear it as it compliment the runway. The collection definitely lure the eyes of the audience.

It's Women Meets Safari with Arin's collection. The designs put a palette of muted colours in utility creating an earthy vibe which created a refreshing aura. The contemporary collection speaks strong and powerful perfect for the modern Filipina. 

Okay. Brit Tripudio's is collection is my ultimate favorite this season. It invigorates the silhouette of a woman walking the streets of any concrete jungle. It flaunts different artworks printed on boxy coats and capes. Daring, is another word because every bit of the collection exudes power. The green and beige palettes is a genius choice to showcase power and neutrality on the ensembles.
