Video Killed the Radio Star (And Made Art)

Posted by Tippi | Oct 9, 2012 | The Tippi Point |

It had been a while since I had gone to an exhibit, so I was looking forward to catching up with good friends and getting my ‘art-fix’ last Friday, at the opening of a new show curated by Clarissa Chikiamco at the Ateneo Art Gallery. Ito and I crawled through the super-crazy Friday traffic and actually got to Ateneo on time, which meant we were one of the first people there and got first dibs at enjoying the delicious food & cocktails by Via Mare (yum!). “Modes of Impact: The Inaugural Collection of Video Art” (which runs until November 10)...

Ever since I can remember, I’ve always been a jeans girl. I’ve loved them ripped at the knees, faded, studded, overdyed, stonewashed, you name it…in college I even oil-painted and embellished my favorite jeans!

These days, young Filipinas have the world at their feet and an infinite number of options available to them, which include their choices in fashion. Modernizing the Filipiniana is one way of bringing the past into the present, allowing a whole new generation to appreciate these clothes and make it their own. Over the weekend we shot with lovely ingénue, Emili, for a fresh, more relaxed take on the traditional and formal baro’t saya and barong tagalog. Tradition with more than a dash of fashion makes the perfect re-mix! Silk & sequins baro’t saya and piña silk & lace...
