ArteFino Resort 2025: Filipino styles and designs inspired by resort living

Luis Espiritu

From 6 to 9 March, the North Court and South Court of the Power Plant Mall in Makati City will be transformed into a tropical oasis. These locations will serve as the backdrop of ArteFino Resort 2025.

ArteFino Resort was first mounted in 2023. This year, a tightly curated gathering of Philippine contemporary brands, designers, and makers will present exclusive and capsule collections that embody the essence of resort dressing in the Philippines.

ArteFino founders — Maritess Pineda, Mita Rufino, Cedie Lopez Vargas, Susie Quiros and Marimel Francisco — drew initial inspiration from the idea of exploring the many islands of the archipelago.

They shared, “We have a total of 30 Filipino brands joining us for this year’s pop-up, each one hailing from different parts of the country that have their distinct set of fabrics, weaves, patterns and styles. As a general idea, we wanted to transport guests of the resort pop-up to all these beautiful regions of the country. We wanted to invite everyone to travel the Philippines through their senses.”
