The annual culminating event of graduating Fashion Design and Merchandising students of the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde marks 10th year
For the one-decade anniversary of Sinulid, 91 fashion visionaries are set to transform the runway into a platform for dialogue, disruption, and design evolution as they weave style innovation, cultural consciousness, and personal narratives into their debut collections.
Sinulid, the highly successful annual culminating event showcasing the knowledge, craftsmanship, and skills of the graduating Fashion Design and Merchandising (FDM) students of the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB), hails not only 10 years of creative excellence, but also the 30th anniversary of the FDM program.
The theme “Awanggan,” derived from the words awan (zero) and hanggan (limit), it is an archaic Tagalog term which means “limitless.” Once used in the context of science and mathematics, it now finds new meaning in design as a framework for boundless alternate futures through the lens of fashion.
This year’s edition is a tribute to the past, a celebration of the present, and a powerful glimpse into the future.
With over 270 looks, this batch promises a more daring collection—revelry for the power of the body and its tools. Each designer explores their personal relationship with the body as both subject and medium—how it occupies, challenges, or redefines identity, space, and time.
The showcase is divided into three acts: Takipsilim, Hating Gabi, and Bukang Liwayway. It presents a diverse range of ensembles, from ready-to-wear to contemporary and the avant-garde.
A culmination of years of rigorous training in design and business strategy, each piece depicts how the next generation of visionary artists pushes creative boundaries and thrives in the evolving global fashion industry.
Sinulid: Awanggan will reveal the collections in a runway show at the PNB Financial Center Banking Hall along Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard in Pasay City on Saturday, January 31, 2026, at 6 pm.
Over 90 meticulously handpicked creations will likewise grace a digital exhibition, set to premiere a day after.
