What is Manila FAME?
"Since 1983, Manila FAME has been expanding the possibilities of Filipino design." The show is organized by the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM), an attached agency of the Department of Trade and Industry. It brings together hundreds of new collections in home décor, furniture, fashion, gifts and holiday pieces, by acclaimed international and leading Filipino designers, and connects buyers and visitors with world-class Filipino makers.
This October's theme, "Bloom", celebrates how the country's flora and fauna, landscapes and waters inspire Philippine design. It's a fitting stage for EMGEE: so many of our prints and embroideries start from the plants, places and everyday scenes of home.

What you'll find at our booth
We're coming with EMGEE by Get Spotted, modern Filipiniana and barong made locally in small batches: piña and embroidered pieces, heritage prints from our Artist Series, and easy pieces you can wear well beyond formal occasions. A few to look for:
- The Nieves Bolero, a lace bolero that turns a simple gown into Filipiniana
- The Diwa Filipiniana Top, with hand-embroidered details
- The Likha Dress from our Artist Series
- The Bahay Kubo Filipiniana, our artist print of the classic nipa hut
Trade buyers and resellers are very welcome to talk to us about stocking our Filipiniana and barong. We'll post our exact booth location on Facebook and Instagram once we're set up.
What to wear to Manila FAME
Manila FAME is a design show, so it's a great excuse to wear Filipino design yourself. Think smart and comfortable:
- A modern Filipiniana top with jeans or trousers. Pieces like the Diwa top dress up denim without looking formal.
- A barong for the day. A short-sleeve or casual barong works for both business meetings and walking the halls.
- A bolero over a simple dress. Easy to take off between halls, and it photographs beautifully.
- Comfortable shoes. With 350+ exhibitors across the halls, you'll walk a lot.

- Register at the lobby when you arrive. Online pre-registration has closed, and trade buyers get in free once registered.
- Give yourself a few hours. With hundreds of exhibitors, it's worth planning a half day at least.
- Trade buyers: bring business cards and your product requirements, so conversations with makers can turn into orders.
- Come early in the day for a calmer look at each booth, and more time to try things on.
