Syempre my favorite part was the fashion hall.. 

Indigenous materials were used to create these fab apparel and accessories. Manila Wear is a branding initiative aimed to position the Philippine fashion industry in the tropical wear market segment.

It was a fantastic exhibit! 

Manila FAME is one of the longest running trade shows in the Asia Pacific, and is the only trade event in the country that has been approved by UFI (Union des Foires Internationales) or the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry. http://manilafame.wordpress.com/
