PLATFORM 2012

A kick off to reeling in the best representatives of our country’s independent verge culture retail industry. Young entrepreneurs that have taken the plunge and committed to developing clothing lines, art and culture products, independent accessories and lifestyle items – coming together with an opportunity to not only sell to the public, but proudly display the fruits of their hard work.
With “Unite & Conquer” as the theme for the freshman Platform Show event, the organizers are committed to creating a highly interactive experience for both independent brands, and the discerning consumer – two segments of Philippine society that we feel deserve more.

As an event that showcases young Filipino talent and creativity, as well as business-mindedness, we hope to become not only a hub for finding exclusive clothes and creations, but also a symbol of what our next generation can aspire to be.

Dedicated to the expressive youth, The Platform Show will be held on SUNDAY, MARCH 18, 2012 at The Playground, Ronac Art Center, Ortigas Avenue from 12nn-8pm.

—

40 booths, a central blogger and guest lounge, a DJ booth and stage. Live music, art, and energy. The Platform event becomes kilometer zero for the day as the country’s youngest and most dynamic designers, creators, and entrepreneurs exercise their style, networking, sales, and marketing skills. The event aims to be the youth’s first “grown up” culture convention, as well as an opportunity for the market to understand the scope of what kids today are capable of.
