I recently went to an ongoing exhibit at the University of the Philippines in Diliman which features creations from notable Filipino designers whose works on display fused the idea of "Fashion and Philippine Architecture".
Its interesting to see how these designers interpreted famous Philippine landmarks into clothing without being too "literal". Something which I think is quite of a challenge.Inspiration: The RCBC Plaza in Makati City.
Interpretation by Emi Englis.
My personal favorite are these creations by Ivan Rabobar who drew most of his inspiration from vernacular houses.
A dress inspired by the old Jai-Alai Building in Manila.
The devil is in the details. :)
Something inspired by Art Deco architecture.
Ensemble inspired by the Miag-Ao Church in Ilo-ilo which is considered a World Heritage Site.
Strapless dress with cropped jacket inspired by the Asian Institute of Management Building in Makati City.
Glad that they also have something for the guys such as this ensemble inspired by Fort Santiago.
As well as this opera coat ensemble inspired by the old Manila Metropolitan Theater.
If you love fashion and architecture this is something not to be missed.
