The Thai Garment industry is really pushing hard to penetrate well here in the Philippines local market. Recently, I have been invited by the Thailand Embassy to witness a fashion exhibition at Dusit Thani Hotel in Makati City.
There were a handful of exhibitors in the hall, 26 companies to be exact, which includes suppliers for lingerie, shoes, shirts, pants, other RTW’s and textile and garment manufacturers. Filipino Business owners, distributors, wholesalers, importers, agents and other companies were invited in this one day exhibition for a possible Business Matching.
The event was opened by a short speech from the Ambassador of Thailand to the Philippines H.E. Mr. Prasas Prasasvinitchai
The current Second Lady of the Philippines Dr. Elenita Sombillo-Binay, the wife of Vice President Jejomar Binay, was also spotted in the exhibition.
Two separate fashion show was held, one in the morning and the other one is in the afternoon.
The event was organized by the Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP), Ministry of Commerce, Royal Thai Government. And take note, I just heard that it was fully sponsored by the Thai Government, meaning the companies who participated in the event didn’t spent much to showcase there product here in Manila. Nice right!? Hope our local government here could as well organized and push more the countries garment industry to other market specially outside the country.
After the first part of the show, we were invited to have a lunch buffet in one of the restaurant inside Dusit Thani. This is the part that I truly enjoyed the most! Cheers!
Here are some glimpse of the Fashion Show. Enjoy browsing. 🙂
