Moderno





















The terno is done. A mixture of hard and soft elements, both in form and materials. Leather, jersey, and chiffon - perhaps a strange combination, but so am I, I suppose.

I will post full-length photos when the garment is on a body - there is no expression in a bust form.

I Am A Mestiza




















Working on a project for an upcoming art exhibit at the Kapisanan Philippine Centre. Taking inspiration from a page in a Philippine history encyclopedia, my selected entry is on the "Mestizo" - literally translating to "mixed-blood." It's an interesting undertaking so far, looking forward to seeing my final product. Traditional Filipino design with a modern and personal twist. Progress posts forthcoming.
