Discovery Samal in partnership with the Davao Fashion and Design Council Foundation, Inc is hosting a fashion fundraiser event where style, culture, and sustainability harmoniously blend with glamour at the Stellar Fashion Gala on September 28 at the Samal Grand Ballroom. The fundraiser is for the benefit of b.LOOM Project’s weaving communities and Mindanao Trade Expo Foundation, Inc. (MTEFI), a foundation that reaches out to grassroots communities. 

 

The fundraiser gala, which will be held at the resort’s newest and largest venue in Davao, will highlight a 100-piece luxe resort apparel collection from Davao’s top designers from the Davao Fashion and Design Council Foundation, Inc. (DFDCFI) such as Aztec Barba, Dodjie Batu, Emi Englis, Popoy Barba, Edgar Buyan, Ebay Ayag, Windel Mira, and Benjie Panizales. Each designer will use innovative tropical fabric blends of piña, cotton, abaca, and baXmboo developed by the DOST Philippine Textile Research Institute. 

 

The event will benefit Davao Region’s artisanal weaving communities, as pilot beneficiaries of the fundraiser event's Extra Mile Creative Communities Sustainable Enterprise Program in partnership with the Mindanao Trade Expo Foundation, Inc.. (MTEFI).  MTEFI is a multi-sectoral, socially responsive, and resilient organization promoting Mindanao eco-friendly products and services to the global community and envisioned to be a leading and pioneering exponent of services in the fields of trade development and promotion in Mindanao.
