Art and business are set to take center stage as StylefestPH braces to kick off and put together fashion icons, designers, entrepreneurs, and influencers in a weekend-long fashion festival at the Bonifacio Global City (BGC) from September 7 to 9, 2018.

Created by Globe and Saga Events, StylefestPH is a three-day spectacle that aims to celebrate up and coming designers, and to create a platform for fashion and beauty enthusiasts to create, collaborate, and bring their creative entrepreneurial projects to life.

As part of StylefestPH, several events will be held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel and the Globe Iconic BHS Amphitheater with the aim of shedding light on some of the most interesting topics in the industry, like building brands with a global mindset and fusing fashion with digital technology.

If you’re looking forward to spending the weekend at StylefestPH, here’s a rundown of some things you should expect from this year’s premier fashion affair:

Learn from fashion’s bests

The fashion industry is a mix of different things and sometimes, it can be a little difficult to take everything in. Styletalks was created to shed light on the crucial talk points about the fashion industry and help audiences better understand the concepts behind it.

As one of the core events under StylefestPH, Styletalks aims to share inspiring stories, business insights, consumer behavior, workshops and portfolio reviews by the fashion industry’s foremost thought leaders.

Among the speakers for Styletalks is Amanda Cosco, who is the founder of Electric Runway and among the key figures in #FashionTech. Panel discussions about the local industry will also be held, featuring Zalora and fashion influencers.
