Abreeza Ayala Mall strengthens its commitment to be a bastion for fashion in Davao City by holding a Fashion Forum called Scandi-lous. It's an exclusive mini fashion show attended by members of the city's fashion publishing, and blogging communities. I'm glad to be invited to get a peek at the trends that are set to take over in 2016.

Lifestyle bloggers Jeffrey Mondia and Clea Banal

Last January 24, models showed off Scandinavian inspired looks from merchants namely Debenhams, Dorothy Perkins, GAP, Mango, Marks & Spencer, and Promod.














Pam Quiñones, editor-in-chief of L'Officiel Manila was invited to talk about her style forecast in 2016 with Philippa Andren, a fashion consultant involved with L'Officiel Manila's styling team and a Scandinavian herself hailing from Denmark.


An exhibit by local fashion design collective Davao Elite Fashion Group graced the night inspired by the Pantone Color Institute's Color of the Year for 2016, Rose Quartz and Serenity. They featured pink and blue-toned creations by Andi Amora, Aztec Barba, Bamba Limon, Tzardy Tombo, Windell Mira, and Xioti Chiu.
