Thirty-four style innovators embrace surrealism as they explore the depths of their dreams and subconscious in Sinulid, the highly successful annual culminating event that showcases the knowledge, craftsmanship, and skills of the graduating Fashion Design and Merchandising (FDM) students of De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB).
Dubbed “Threaded Experience,” this latest and bolder iteration finds beauty in the unconventional, presenting a thought-provoking celebration of distinct creativity and individuality deeply rooted in the personal journeys of the young artists.


With over a hundred looks, this batch promises a striking balance between symbolism and transformation, encapsulated in various ensembles, from ready-to-wear to contemporary and avant-garde.
A spectrum of experiences unfolds as femininity takes center stage. The selections explore different facets of womanhood, from the tender and nurturing to the fierce and bold, and everything in between.
Experimental pieces challenge inner conflicts, cultural struggles, and societal norms. Fluidity in non-traditional and non-binary silhouettes champions inclusivity and diversity. Courageous, authentic, and eccentric identities emerge as style innovations break free from the constraints of gender stereotypes, competition, materialism, and perfectionism.
The event reintroduces fashion as a medium for self-discovery, storytelling, and transformation, revealing emotional depth behind every seam and stitch in handcrafted details and woven tapestries.
The next-generation designers venture into the otherworldly, using unconscious and irrational expressions to create designs that blur the lines between the worlds of the living and the supernatural. The result is a display of the surreal, the absurd, and the chimerical.
Sinulid: Threaded Experience showcased the collections in a runway show on Jan. 25 at the 12th Floor of the Design + Arts Campus.
Meanwhile, on Feb. 4, over 30 meticulously handpicked looks were featured in an exhibition, The collection is on view until May 24.
