In 2004, International Lifestyle Designer PJ Arañador rewrote fashion history in Iloilo, presenting hand-woven designs---the indigenous look re-created for today. Majority of his designs hailed a return to classic elegance and classy femininity with the main attraction of using hablon fabrics like the ones produced in Miag-ao and Oton. The delicate, winning beauty of the fabric was given form and character with alternating color schemes and structures, well-defined and free to play imaginatively with memories and references, where past images return in more contemporary, fashionable forms.

From evening glamour to summer power dressing, Arañador takes Iloilo as a usual starting point. Colors and prints freely combined in a rhythmic movement that alternates different lengths and structures. His latest resort wear collections is pleasant, composite wardrobe of clothes that fully express the wearer's democratic spirit. A profusion of ideas dedicated to the individual with a natural flair for fashion---fun-loving, astonishing beachwear---sensuality effectively contrasted with catwalk action.

Right accessorizing can transform one from so-so to sophisticated. Arañador invents new combinations and embellishing the look with accessories. There is a perpetual backlog for the designer's one-of-a-kind accessories where price is not an object for these hot items this season.
Arañador has a very unique taste and the ability of interpreting fashion in an absolutely creative way. He simply loves going around markets, restaurants, clubs and the streets in search of ideas. Dressing should be fun, expressing yourself with clothes that celebrate your individuality.

Arañador's shows are open windows on Filipino diversity. He has always tried to transmit a contemporary spirit to his garments. He develops a flexibility that perfectly responds to demands made by universal time. He has also turned his attention to and is actively involved in, humanitarian causes and projects.
With Iloilo as one of the more carefully watched fashion capitals in the country, so it seemed strange that it will not have a taste of Aranador's latest collections for summer. DESTINATIONS, a resort wear fashion show by PJ ARAÑADOR is due to launch at PIER 16 on May 5 2007 at 9 p.m. Must haves for the summer season will be shown up on runways by Iloilo professional models and the country's top fashion mannequin, RIA BOLIVAR.
