THE ICON Elite Management Agency will organize its fifth fashion show on July 28 featuring iconic outfits from the 1900s onwards to showcase the evolution of style through time.
Fashion Forward 2024, held at the Park Inn by Radisson Hotels, is open to all and guests are encouraged to wear Paris-inspired outfits.
The show’s proceeds will go to Bantay Hayop Davao, a local shelter and pet rescue that caters to abused animals. The organization provides these animals with the necessary medical attention and hopefully relocates them to their forever homes.
Pau Garcia, Icon Elite president, said they are open to also connecting with similar organizations for future collaborations. He said they always aimed to raise the voice of the voiceless as part of their advocacy.
The fashion show features four designers and their works will be showcased by the 47 models and artists from the Davao-based talent agency from as young as four years old.
Rovie Bullina, Bantay Hayop co-founder, encouraged Davaoeños to be compassionate to the asong pinoy, which is typically disregarded in favor of dogs with pedigree. She said people must give these aspins a chance by adopting them since they have much love to give.
