MARIAN ZARA
Marian Zara looks at fashion as a creative space for art appreciation and self-expression by making sustainable pieces. Through their custom pieces, the brand is able to reduce "fashion waste" by transforming unused and discarded fabrics into one-of-a-kind pieces.
"With this, I believe Philippine fashion is ready for international recognition," says Zara. "We have a lot of talented designers who continue to develop new designs and techniques that can compete in the global market."
EDITED LIMITED
Known for its sustainability efforts in recycling old garments and fabric remnants, Edited Limited is creating a circular, more responsible fashion lifestyle by transforming used materials into wearable, modern designs. The brand is also proud of empowering a significant number of women in the communities of Lipa City, Batangas, who worked for the label and were provided livelihood in the midst of the pandemic.
