I’m not a pure-blooded environmentalist especially if it means participating in clean-up up drives under the scorching sun. But hey, let me advocate the “save the Earth” cry the fashionista way. I’m impressed how the brilliant minds behind the Design Fusion Collection presented during this year’s Philippine Fashion Week, despite their prominent urban lifestyle had thought of streaking the event with environmentalism. Contrary to the intricate creations anticipated to be on the runway, models did the catwalk wearing simple round neck shirts with printed statements stirring environmental awareness. The colorful skirts/pants drew attention to the candid messages; accessories I guess are intentionally withdrawn from the look to convey that saving Mother Earth needs serious attention yet could be fun. Kudos to the designer/s for a significant campaign and impressive show; Filipino designers are truly creative individuals who’ll go places.Now, who says that modern fashion is all craziness and that the runway could not be a venue for a worthwhile movement?
