This photo taken with my lovely models serves as a reminder of a magical evening where I had the opportunity to work with some of the most inspiring and talented creatives and fashion designers in the country!
OBRA MAESTRA was a grand celebration of Filipino Heritage, Culture and Artistry held last Sept 12, 2024 at the Metropolitan Theatre and the brainchild of Cultural & Arts impresario and Book Publisher / Author Zardo Austria.
I found myself backstage tapping to the beat of the melodious voices of the Singers, inspired by the creations of my fellow fashion designers and thinking that we have such a rich and beautiful culture and heritage!
It is a privilege to make a humble contribution towards keeping our roots alive by showcasing designs using our traditional handwoven Inabel fabrics created by women led weaving communities in Abra.
Heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this event possible ...
