Local designers will have the opportunity to showcase their work at a Project Runway staged by the Miss Pacific Islands Pageant (MPIP) PNG this weekend.
The Project Runway will get underway on Saturday (31 October) in Port Moresby leading up to the Miss Pacific Islands Pageant in the Cook Islands in December.
This is an event to show off local designers and offer them an opportunity to participate in the MPIP by creating two outfits.
Designers have been encouraged to create and style a traditionally inspired attire and sarong beach wear.
The winning designs selected from the Project Runway will be worn by Miss PNG in the regional MPIP in the Cook Islands.
MPIP PNG organising committee has so far announced two contestants participating in this year’s pageant and they’re Miss BSP Samantha Vulum and Miss Pacific Balanced Fund Abigail Havora.
The crowning of the MPIP PNG is scheduled for 14 November in Moresby.
