The Cuts and Styles of the Festival

CEBU, Philippines — As a new Sinulog Festival Queen was crowned at the Cebu City Sports Center last Friday, January 19, the winners and top placers of the first Binibining Cebu pageant ramped up the runway of this year’s edition of Island Souvenirs’ “Cut & Style” fashion presentation.

Staged at the Northwing Atrium of SM City Cebu, this year’s “Cut & Style” was made distinct with a “journey to the senses” concept, setting the spotlight on the sights, sounds, tastes and connections that have come to define Cebu at this point in 2018.

Mainlined by the “Island Souvenirs x Cary Santiago” collection, the spectacular sight of Santiago’s designs drew attention to the ambivalence of the athleisure trend – featuring fineries that were neither over nor underdressed in tone.

Santiago’s creations complemented very well with Island Souvenirs’ Sinulog 2018 collections worn by Cebu’s top recording talents, home-grown food-trepreneurs, up-and-coming fashion influencers and social media personalities who are at the top of their keeping in touch game.

Now on its fifth year, this year’s “Cut & Style” fashion presentation really celebrated the sensual delights that have become indicative of the Sinulog, Cebu and the Cebuano.
