The designers and their creations:

"BEAUTY AND POWER"
By Pristine De Guzman
|
As in the 80's and it's power dressing, I designed a set of underwear that is inspired by the new women of triumph. Strong, reliable, confident and powerful. She takes on new tasks and responsibilities. She is on the world's center stage as a winner and as a leader.

"THE NEO-SUFFRAGETTE"
By Sheena Gloria
|
Inspired by the brave women before her, this design celebrates the courage and the strength in every woman of today as she continues to struggle for her rightful place in this world. I present the modern woman, the Neo-Suffragette, the contemporary Paladin of Verity, who continues to fight for the civil liberties and equality she deserves.

"PRIMA BALLERINA"
By Gabbie Sarenas
|
A woman’s triumph does not have to edgy, bold, or showy. It can be like a feather – light, simple & pure.
 |
“EGYPTIAN PROWESS”
By Geoffrey Zordilla
|
The idea of the design is to show the real Egyptian woman like Cleopatra, someone whois aggressive, sensual, and charismatic. I believe that women can be associated topower because of their hidden strengths.
 |
"THE EQUESTRIENNE"
By Roha Martinez
|
I am inspired by the "Equestrienne" leather, silver hardware and images of paddled horses. My favorite fabric is denim with jean details on seaming and stitching. I want to show how this fabric can take on yet another role underwear, but with details like leather straps and silver buckles, it can be used as outer wear.

“REVOLUTIONARY WOMEN”
By Kirby Cruz
|
We all know that there are so many stories and events happened within the past 125 years in every woman’s life in the world. There are so many trials to tell but one of the most common story is about a woman who once became a victim of misfortune and how she become strong as ever than she can be as the years passes by.That is why my design shows how beautiful women can be even after the struggles in their life. Piece by piece they are making a big mark in the society. Making every women beautiful even if they are in worst moment of time.

"BUMARU"
By Steph Verano
|
What makes a woman beautiful is the love she radiates for the people around her. Her love in accepting roles that come with being a woman, performing almost like a chameleon while shaping and reshaping herself to adapt to changing times. Still, she is able to retain herself, her essence, never forgetting who she really is. Many dictate their own version of history, but her tattoos are herstories. She feels most beautiful in her own skin.
 |
"OCTOPODA"
By Kaye Morales
|
I was inspired by an octopus because of it’s shape and form. Octopus is a creature imbued with purpose and so much power. The comparison of the women to an octopus shows that she will exercise her defensive power to protect herself when being attacked. When danger evaded like an octopus she will crush what she strives to protect. I wanted to show the power and flexibility of an octopus that embraces the true essence of a woman.

“WHITE-CLAD SUPERWOMAN”
By Irene Subang
|
X-Men’s Storm is an epitome of strength, independence,and beauty, the very celebration of what is being awoman, although, of course, Storm springs fromimagination.
 |
"EPITOME"
By Niño Angeles
|
For 125 years, Triumph has been at the forefront of women’s lingerie. Who would be a better inspiration than the epitome of femininity… the Filipina. This AvantGarde creation aims to showcase the strength and resilience of every woman around the globe.
