Fashion Tips: Re-Imagine, Re-Use, Re-Fashion

Posted by Tippi | Jun 28, 2019 | Fashion Stories, Fashion Tips |

I’ve always loved the creativity of fashion and the thrill of designing new clothes, but at the same time I’ve always been passionate about vintage. So while I looooove designer clothes of a bygone era, the pieces that inspire and mean the most to me are the few things that I kept from my Lola (grandma) Lucy. I recently unearthed one of of her dresses–a green shift dress with tiny embroidered daisies–and thought that the vintage vibe would look absolutely perfect for summer 2019. With the homogenous onslaught and wastefulness of fast-fashion, the idea of breathing new life into unique pieces from years gone by has a new mindfulness to it. Why add to...

Making Room to Play

Posted by Tippi | Mar 3, 2019 | The Tippi Point |

It’s been a transformative first few months of the year 🙂 Like I mentioned in my last blog post, “Lessons of 2018”, from the end of last year when Ito and I continued our cleaning and clearing process–mentally, spiritually and physically–we also began bringing new life to old things that we had forgotten about but started to see in a different light. At the start of 2019, creating a more sustainable environment and consciously lessening our energy leaks (wasted time stuck in traffic, mindless consumption, maintaining a lifestyle that resulted in too much junk, to name just a few) were our intentions. While sorting out stuff, we...

Lessons of 2018

Posted by Tippi | Jan 28, 2019 | The Tippi Point |

It’s a little over three weeks into the new year and I’ve finally gotten around to writing a new blog post 🙂 As Ito and I continue the clearing and renewing process we began in the last few weeks of 2018, we find ourselves endlessly giving thanks for the year that just passed. Each year presents its unique triumphs and challenges, but with perspective I’ve realised that what made 2018 different for us was that it brought the things we considered truly important into greater clarity. First of all, instead of the goals, checklists and strategies that we followed in previous years, purpose and...

She For She 2018 Talk: Fashion Your Life

Posted by Tippi | Jul 16, 2018 | The Tippi Point |

What is the role that women play in society? In the recent “She For She” forum organized by the French embassy in the Philippines, this was the topic discussed along with gender equality and women’s empowerment. Together with many other inspiring women speakers and industry friends (Jeannie Javelosa, Rocio Olbes-Ressano, Hindi Weber-Tantoco and Maica Teves) in the day-long forum moderated by Aurélie Salvaire who founded ShiftBalance, I was invited to give a short talk on my work as a fashion designer along with Lyka Gonzalez (filmmaker), Hannah Morales (photographer) and Liza Diño (chairperson of the Film Development Council of the Philippines) for our segment...

When a Journey Goes South (of France)

Posted by Tippi | Jun 15, 2018 | Travel Stories |

That’s the thing about adventures and journeys…we never really know where they’re going to take us. With the Philippine peso’s recent depreciation and the rising cost of commodities, Ito and I were planning on holding off taking an overseas trip this year. But an impulsive visit to the Travel Fair to look for a last-minute deal on local resorts for summer led us (through a few twists and turns of fate and an irresistible promo fare) south–to Paris and the South of France. Unlike our previous trips which we usually take in the fall, the dates we randomly chose fell closer to Ito’s birthday and our anniversary, and...
