The inaugural Mode de Vie features the following Manila designers:
Joyce Makitalo
J Makitalo forayed into jewellery design with a bold, almost talisman-inspired approach to necklaces, pendants and bangles that echo the allure and enigma of civilisations past.
Her pieces have been featured on the pages of Vogue USA and worn by various International personalities such as Katy Perry.
Natalya Lagdameo
Natalya Lagdameo fuses the past with the present, combining local skills and artistry to create pieces for her highly diverse collection, utilizing antique components alongside modern concepts. The compositions take on an aesthetics that is updated yet still with respect to the traditional format.
Ken Samudio
Ken Samudio's techniques explore the natural and organic form found in nature by mimicking tactile features and distinct textures using indigenous and recycled materials. He is the First Filipino Designer to be recognised in this year's Vogue Italia's Vogue Talent for Accessories.
Maco Custodio
Maco Custodio's works immediately caught the attention of the fashion industry as he proposed unconventional approaches in material selection and shapes. Shortly after taking further studies in Shoe Engineering in China, Custodio's unique footwear began to make an appearance in some of the country's biggest fashion shows. The rest, as they say, is shoe making history.
The FreeFood Co.
A company that is built for something bigger than ourselves which is to improve the quality of life of farmers in the Philippines, and to offer healthier natural sweetener alternatives to consumers around the world. It’s a fair and beneficial exchange between people who work the rich farmlands and to those who value the healthy gifts of its harvest. FreeFood Co presents its rich and creamy chocolates, Coco Dolce, with three variants: milk chocolate with pili nuts, 65% dark chocolate and milk chocolate. It is a fine blend of cocoa beans and pure organic coconut sugar. FreeFood Co.'s 100% Organic Coconut Sap Sugar is free of additives, artificial flavouring, colouring and preservatives with a low glycemic index of 35.
Also available on these dates are LULU DK JEWELRY TATOOS, metallic gold and silver tattoos that last for 4-6 days.
Mode de Vie is curated by Neil Felipp San Pedro one of the country's most promising industrial designers, and Aziza N. Mondoñedo, jewelry designer and general manager of The Tinder Box.
