Abreeza Fashion Forum: Scandi-lous | A Fashion Mixer

Abreeza Mall previews 2016 trends with a Fashion Mixer 

This 2016, Abreeza Mall strengthens its commitment to be a bastion for fashion in Davao by holding Scandi-lous, an exclusive mixer and mini-fashion show attended by members of the city’s fashion, publishing, and blogging communities.

Held on January 24, Scandi-lous treated guests to a peek at the trends that are set to take over 2016, particularly Scandinavian style, from which the event takes its name. Models showed off Scandinavian-inspired fashion from Abreeza Mall merchants; namely, Debenhams, Dorothy Perkins, GAP, Mango, Marks & Spencer, and Promod.

Another highlight of Scandi-lous was a talk by editor-in-chief Pam Quiñones of L’Officiel Manila, the Philippine edition of the Paris-based fashion magazine and the country’s first locally franchised international fashion title. Before landing her job at L’Officiel Manila, Pam was a top celebrity stylist whose clients included Anne Curtis, Judy Ann Santos, Charlene Gonzales, and Sarah Geronimo. Besides touching on the year’s trends, Pam also shared her impressive journey growing up in Cotabato to becoming one of the most respected names in the Philippine fashion industry. Joining her onstage for the talk was Philippa Andrén, a fashion consultant involved with L’Officiel Manila’s styling team and a Scandinavian herself hailing from Denmark. 

At Scandi-lous, guests also got to marvel at a vignette exhibit by local fashion design collective Davao Elite Fashion Group. Inspired by the Pantone Color Institute’s Color of the Year for 2016, Rose Quartz and Serenity, the exhibit featured pink- and blue-toned creations by Andi Amora, Aztec Barba, Bamba Limon, Benjie Panizales, Dodjie Batu, Edgar Buyan, Egay Ayag, Emi Englis, Junie Artajo, Lala Luz, Lauren Arriola, Tzardy Tombo, Windell Mira, and Xioti Chiu. The exhibit was on display at Abreeza Mall’s Ground Floor Fashion Hallway and Activity Center from January 20 to 24.
