MB X PFW SS13 Best in Show

It's been my 3rd time featuring Philippine Fashion Week (PFW) Best in Show for Manila Bulletin Fashion Section.   It's both challenging and exciting since I need to see, feel and wonder how these designs were intricately, passionately, showcased in the fashion show to the actual pullout, yap,  up close!  

The Big question is? How do we really pick the best in the best designs? 
1. Cohesive, original and an ubiquitous trademark design
2. Growth over the last 3 seasons - concept, design and creativity
3. EXECUTION!


It's quite a week of deliberation and looking each collections and which-is-which is a tough call.  Without further ado, check out our PFW SS13 Best in Show picks, in no particular order.
