It is meant to be a show to bring together a pool of designers to create garments with unique PNG designs that will be worn by the Miss PNG entrant to the Miss Pacific Island Pageant (MPIP) in Samoa in December.
Most designers who participated at last night’s event were small entrepreneurs, working from their home space.
Over the years, according to reigning Miss PNG Abigail Havora, the pageant has assisted some of them by assigning them to create outfits for Miss PNG entrants.
"This year, we are supporting with more incentives," she said.
