Miss Earth Foundation, Inc. is pleased to announce the 2nd Miss Earth Eco-Fashion Design Competition, a project that will once again showcase the skills and creativity of professional or even budding designers in the Philippines in coming up with timeless designs that are eco-friendly; perfect for the Earth’s most beautiful.
On November 4, 2008, the 1st Miss Earth Eco-Fashion Design Competition gathered more than 20 professional and non-professional designers all over the Philippines who showcased the Filipino indigenous materials and highlighted the Filipino culture and heritage in 49 colorful ensembles worn by Miss Earth 2008 candidates.
Mr. Ivan Raborar, a very talented young designer from South Cotabato was hailed the very first winner with his gown made of beads and the T’nalak cloth made the city’s indigenous people’s dream weavers.
This year, we are opening this competition once again to Filipino designers, fashion enthusiasts, students or any group to really prove that beautiful creations can spring from our discards in our joint local and global effort to help save Mother Earth.
