INDIGENOUS FIBER FASHION FAIR
Provincial Culture, Arts, History and Tourism Office
Every 3rd week of August
The annual event established in 2008 is a week-long trade event celebrating the humanity of the handmade fabrics and empowers local communities by giving them the opportunity to showcase their art and earn from their art. The event aims at supporting and preserving artisan cooperatives while spreading the beauty of handmade, eco fashion.
The project hopes to open investment opportunities especially in the production of these fabrics. It features Ilonggo exhibitors engaged in the production and design of local fabrics and hand-woven handicrafts with daily weaving demonstration and fashion shows featuring local designers and fashion design and merchandising students from ISAT-University. The event is co-organized by DOT-VI and SM City lloilo.
