BINI has rapidly taken the P-pop scene by storm, becoming a symbol of influence for the new generation. With over seven million monthly listeners on Spotify, this powerhouse eight-member girl group has cemented their status as one of the most streamed Filipino artists in the country. It’s no surprise they’ve been named Billboard Philippines‘ Women in Music Rising Stars last March.
But it’s not just their chart-topping tracks that captivate Blooms — BINI’s fashion sense is equally impressive. Every time they step onto the stage, their vibrant outfits command attention, thanks to the creative direction of Ica Villanueva. What makes it even more remarkable is that these iconic ensembles are crafted by talented Filipino designers who truly understand how to make BINI shine.
Here’s a rundown of ten Filipino fashion designers who have brought some of the group’s most memorable outfits to life.
Cora and Cecilia
When it comes to unforgettable performances, BINI’s appearance on ASAP’s Grand Pantropiko Day is hard to beat. The group turned up the summer heat in vibrant crochet creations designed by Cora and Cecilia. These eye-catching outfits were a labor of love, with intricate details that perfectly captured the lively spirit of the season.
Ehrran Montoya
As BINI gear up for their next concert in October, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the show-stopping finale of the first BINIVerse run of shows. The group took command of the New Frontier Theater stage with the confidence and flair of seasoned performers, thanks in no small part to the extravagant creations of Ehrran Montoya.
Known for pushing the boundaries of fashion in the Philippines, Montoya crafted silver and gold ensembles that were nothing short of spectacular. These pieces featured layers upon layers adorned with intricate beadwork, butterfly wings, and an array of feathers. The result? Another side of BINI that perfectly encapsulated the group’s larger-than-life presence.
