School of Fashion and the Arts (SoFA) Open House 2012

I attended the Shool of Fashion and Arts (SoFA) Open House 2012 last Saturday together with my college blogger friend Anneg08 who was actually the one who invited me. 

SoFA is the Philippines' fashion college offering a full range of extensive and short programs in design, merchandising and business founded by Ms. Loralee Baron-Soong & Ms. Amina Aranaz-Alunan. It is also the Philippines' Representative of Europe's top fashion and design school, Instituto Marangoni Partnerof Project Runway Philippines 1 & 2.

We were introduced to the programs and workshops offered in SoFA. Ms.Amina Aranaz-Alunan, Co-Founder of SoFA, was very nice and warm. She answered each and every question raised by the guests. After the talk and forum, we got the chance to take a tour inside SoFA.

Sorry for the blurred pics. They were taken from my phone camera only. :))

SoFA is welcome to all those who have a strong passion for fashion, styling and designs or even to those who want to discover their talent for it. SoFA offers a wide range of programs to all the individuals who desire to enter the colorful world of fashion industry. They are committed to provide a fun and competent experience and training to their students.

I must admit I was truly astounded with SoFA, from their courses to their facilities, faculty, campaigns and events. Indeed the best fashion school to hone your skills and knowledge in fashion and arts.
