Moda MindaNow is a fashion designing competition of
different regions in Mindanao. It happens every year during Kadayawan Festival
in Davao City. Last August 16, 2015 I was invited by Davao Bloggers Society to attend
this event. I’ve heard about this since last year and I’m excited about it. As
the event started all the designers and models are preparing back stage to walk the ramp. When the ethnic music stars to beat all camera are pointing
directly to the ramp. There are three categories during the contest.

Innovative Passion – It’s a fashion where
designers use different types of fabric materials.

me. I can’t wait for next year!
