INSPIRATION
PODEROSA
PODEROSA is a unisex collection inspired by Philippine culture during the Spanish era. The inspiration of the Mascota dress is the traditional, dress worn by Zamboangueños in the Philippines during the early centuries. This collection is to showcase the culture and tradition of my roots and heritage on how women wear clothing from the past and translate it into modern contemporary present fashion. It is a unisex collection because it shows the power in all genders.
The draping and deconstruction of Barong Tagalog is used as a technique in making the terno/ Baro’t saya. Barong Tagalog is an embroidered long-sleeved formal shirt for men, it combines the elements of native Filipino and Spanish colonial styles. Their national wear of the Philippines is made out of sheer lightweight but stiff fabric called, Nipis. Usually women with pineapple fiber.
