Ivy Fashion Ball III: Post Apocalypse — Fashion, Survival, and Reinvention on the Runway

Held on April 24, 2022, at the Forbes Hall, Baguio Country Club, Ivy Fashion Ball III: Post Apocalypse marked a powerful return of the Ivy Fashion Ball series—reimagining fashion in a world shaped by collapse, survival, and creative rebirth. Conceived as both a fashion show and runway competition, the event challenged designers and creative teams to translate dystopian realities and post-pandemic reflections into compelling, wearable narratives.

Produced under Wilvy Shows Entertainment Production, Ivy Fashion Ball III brought together designers, stylists, runway directors, and models into a platform that valued concept, craftsmanship, and storytelling. The collections explored raw silhouettes, deconstructed tailoring, utilitarian details, ritualistic elements, and dramatic styling—mirroring a world rebuilding itself from fragments.

Featured Designers

The event featured a diverse roster of designers whose works defined the creative breadth of Post Apocalypse:

• Sofia Deliu, known for her refined silhouettes and conceptual restraint, presented pieces that balanced fragility and strength, echoing survival through elegance.

• Julie Vergara showcased textured constructions and layered forms, evoking protection, armor, and emotional resilience.

• Ricmar Agas infused experimental styling with bold structure, pushing post-apocalyptic fashion toward expressive individuality.

• Ron Montes delivered strong tailoring and sharp silhouettes that reflected masculinity and grit in a fractured future.

• Norman Peñaflorida introduced avant-garde statements that merged performance, symbolism, and dramatic runway presence.

• Maila Alog, founder of the Ivy Fashion Ball, presented designs grounded in transformation and cultural memory—merging Indigenous sensibilities with futuristic survival aesthetics.

Together, the featured designers demonstrated how fashion can serve as commentary, protest, and hope—especially in imagined worlds shaped by crisis.
