A grand celebration of Pinoy culture and couture this Christmas

A joint project of SM Supermalls, Bench/Lifestyle + Clothing, and the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), the inaugural Paskong TernoCon marked a milestone in Philippine fashion with visionary designers Joey Samson and Lesley Mobo taking center stage in TernoCon’s first fashion show in a mall.
