The ‘FAME’ of Filipino design

The Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (Citem) has always served as a platform for creative exchange among Filipino lifestyle designers, with the end goal of producing globally competitive items.

As the export promotions arm of the government’s Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Citem has successfully staged the three-decade old trade show “Manila FAME” (Furnishings and Apparel Manufacturers’ Exchange), which exhibits the works of Filipino designers and manufacturers for both local and international buyers.
