A celebration on all fronts.
Of 365 days of Filipino story telling of people, places, beauty, culture and fashion
Of age, gender, and racial diversity
Of collaborations connecting filipino creatives from different parts of the world.
Of our origins and heritage
Of muses and makers, artists and artisans
Of local creatives defining Filipino craftsmanship
On the northern highlands, together with Sharif, Melissa, Jo Ann, Lukresia, and Rina, we weave a story on high craft and hand made; artisanal craftsmanship, reworking vintage, and upcycling. We relearn old techniques that can be reintroduced for future fashion systems.
With this story we revisit our heritage which is rooted on the artisanal and places it alongside global designers who are masters of their craft.
This story is an invitation to rethink fashion, to go back to the past to see our future.
