<p><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/fashion/metrostylewatch/bini-biniverse-2024-concert-outfits/39288" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>BINI</strong></a><strong> </strong>transported Blooms into different dimensions at the <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/lifestyle/fashion/2024/11/21/-metrostylewatch-showstopping-looks-of-the-guest-performers-during-the-grand-biniverse-1320" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Grand BINIverse</strong></a> concert. The sold-out shows are a follow-up to last June’s highly successful BINIverse: The First Solo Concert. As expected, the concert was bigger, better, and bolder on all fronts—including fashion.</p><p><strong>Aiah</strong>, <strong>Colet</strong>, <strong>Maloi</strong>, <strong>Gwen</strong>, <strong>Stacey</strong>, <strong>Mikha</strong>, <strong>Jhoanna</strong>, and <strong>Sheena</strong> wowed with their concert looks, styled by their visual director <strong>Ica Villanueva</strong>. Here, she lists six of the many Filipino designers she collaborated with for the Grand BINIverse. </p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><strong>Francis Libiran</strong><strong><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:814px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1732181262796FRANCIS.png" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="BINI with Francis Libiran for Metro.Style"/><span class="fr-inner">BINI with Francis Libiran for Metro.Style</span></span></span></strong></div><p>The designer for BINI’s iconic looks during <em>BINI: The Launch</em> in 2021, <strong>Francis Libiran</strong> has returned to work with BINI once again. Having previously designed 24 looks in high-shine sportswear, pastel-hued tulle gowns, and modern Filipiniana ensembles, the renowned Filipino fashion designer is one of the first big designers to ever work with BINI. Now, three years and several chart-topping hits later, Francis’ custom looks for BINI’s three-day concert were spectacular!</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><strong>Renan Pacson</strong></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:814px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1732181117512BINI_Renan Pacson from Ica Villanueva IG.jpg" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="BINI wearing pieces by Renan Pacson"/><span class="fr-inner">BINI wearing pieces by Renan Pacson</span></span></span></div><p><strong>Renan Pacson</strong>, known for his luxe streetwear and androgynous aesthetic, amplified BINI with custom looks that seamlessly blend traditional Filipino elements with his signature style. Leveraging the girls’ personalities and the group’s overall style, Renan creates “same vibe, different pieces” with modular designs that are easy to play around with for Ica.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><strong>Raf Villas of RAFA WORLDWIDE </strong></div><div style="text-align:center"><strong><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:814px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1732181480355BINI_Raf Villas_@icavillanueva IG 1.jpg" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="BINI wearing pieces from RAFA WORLDWIDE "/><span class="fr-inner">BINI wearing pieces from RAFA WORLDWIDE </span></span></span></strong><strong></strong><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:814px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1732181463756RAF.png" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="BINI wearing pieces from RAFA WORLDWIDE "/><span class="fr-inner">BINI wearing pieces from RAFA WORLDWIDE </span></span></span></div><p style="text-align:left"><strong>Raf Villas</strong> of <strong>Rafa Worldwide </strong>has also become a staple in BINI’s wardrobe of late and is also one of the designers behind the visuals promoting the concert. Set apart by his masterful play on fabrics and textures, his paper and crystal beads, sculpted metals, “jellyfish” fringes, and structured ruffles, to name a few, are just some of the unique and eye-catching pieces he has brought onto runways and into the custom outfits the Nation’s Girl Group wore at the Grand BINIverse concert. </p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><strong>Marian Madayag</strong></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:814px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1732181604646BINI_Marian Zara_@icavillanueva IG 1.jpg" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="BINI wearing pieces by Marian Zara"/><span class="fr-inner">BINI wearing pieces by Marian Zara</span></span></span></div><p><strong>Marian Madayag</strong>, who designs under the name <strong>Marian Zara</strong>, is the young designer behind some of BINI’s most visually stunning looks to date. From the deconstructed and embellished denim sets of BINIverse: The First Solo Concert to color-coordinated ensembles for brand endorsements, and many more, she is all about the details— and a closer look at her work easily reveals the elaborate trimmings she adorns BINI’s outfits with. Marian is also responsible for the stunning pieces the girls wore in the posters for Grand BINIverse, which was an exciting preview of what the girls wore onstage! </p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><strong>Iñigo Villegas</strong></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:814px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1732181921377INIGO.png" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="BINI wearing pieces by Iñigo Villegas"/><span class="fr-inner">BINI wearing pieces by Iñigo Villegas</span></span></span></div><p>Also one of Ica’s go-to&#x27;s for BINI’s appearances and performances, <strong>Iñigo Villegas</strong> is a dancer-turned-designer who has an innate understanding of fashion made for movement. As a performer himself, he has delivered spectacular custom pieces for BINI, including Jhoanna’s, Maloi’s, Colet’s, and Stacey’s looks for their solo stages at BINIverse: The First Solo Concert. Iñigo recently debuted his first runway collection at BYS Fashion Week.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><strong>Nina Amoncio of ANTONINA</strong></div><p>Another rising name in the industry who dressed BINI at the Grand BINIverse, <strong>Nina Amoncio</strong> of the label <strong>Antonina</strong> is known for creating pieces based on personal experience. Primarily a menswear designer who leans onto more gender-fluid silhouettes, Nina’s defining character in fashion is her ability to craft consistently well-constructed pieces despite her constant exploration of different styles—and her collaboration with BINI will be surely one to watch.</p>
