Curves and Lines by Cliff John I. Layaoen
18th Charter Day - Inabel Fashion Show - 1st Placer

The synthesis of old and new, traditional and contemporary defines this predominantly blue collection.... The girl dons a futuristic ensemble of metallic gazaar and abel -- a tailored yet lady-like topper complements wide-legged trousers; symbolic of an empowered woman, and beneath this is a contemporary kimona as a homage to femininity, creativity, and history.

The boy, on the other hand, is garbed in cargo pants and a jacket. The big pockets on the jacket and pants render the ensemble both practicality and creativity, as storage and design details, and underneath the jacket is a beautifully masculine deconstructed crop top.

Old and new.
Masculine and feminine.
Practical and creative.
The synthesis.

Patche by Jay Mark T. Pacheca
18th Charter Day - Inabel Fashion Show - 2nd Placer

This collection highlights the juxtaposition of skill and talent, of technique and creativity. It is a study of contrast and complement, of details and minimalism.

The girl's contemporary ensemble is comprised of a topper/blouse and a skirt. The topper morphs into two forms - from a comfortable, angular one to a sexy one sided blouse. The buttons are both practical and creative features -- as enclosures and decorations/details. The skirt is both pleated and pintucked.

The boy's ensemble is a pants and a sleeveless topper combination. The loose pants are highlighted by pintucks and have functional pockets. The topper offers a glimpse of sexiness as it is open on the sides with an 'open' armhole that is both functional and creative...

The subtle details of this collection are testaments to the Batacqueños hard work, creativity, and simplicity.

Indeed, less is more.

Anaphy by Mark Paul Gresola
18th Charter Day - Inabel Fashion Show - 3rd Placer

Ang mataas na uri ng kaswal na kasuotang pambabae na gawa sa Abel ay isang eleganteng pagsasanib ng tradisyon at modernong moda. Gamit ang matibay at makukulay na telang Abel Iloko para sa mga taga-Bataqueño, tampok sa disenyo nito ang estrukturado at malinis na tabas, may sinturon, palamuti sa balikat, at malalaking bulsa. Bagama’t may matapang na anyo, ito'y angkop sa kaswal na pananamit ng modernong kababaihan—pinaghalo ang lakas at pino sa isang makabago ngunit makakulturang kasuotan. Samantala, ang kasuotang panglalaki na may tabas ng polo at maluwang na pantalon ay sumasalamin sa makabagong estilo na may pusong makabayan. Ang kombinasyong ito ay nagbibigay ng ginhawa, pormalidad, at makasining na pagkakakilanlan gamit ang tradisyonal na Abel Iloko. Sa kabuuan, ang paggamit ng Abel sa ganitong disenyo ay patunay na ang kultura at sining ay maaaring maging buhay na bahagi ng makabagong pananamit—may dangal, may estilo at may diwang Ilocano.

Primo Senior by Jeorge V Ronduen, Jr.

Bold statements. The ilocano never shy away from making bold statements. This collection is a testament to this claim. The boy's ensemble is an overload of prints, patterns, and textures. Busy but harmonious. Eclectic but balanced. The girl's piece is a contrast to that of the boy. Simple but still beautiful. A perfect foil to the boy's outfit. The boy's trouser has a 'tapis-like' detail. The girl's 'tulip-detail' transforms into a quasi-tapis when pushed downward. A bold and subtle homage to tradition, respectively. When too much is just enough.
