A look at the journey from inspiration to fashion runway…

Inspired by the lacy wrought-iron grillwork often found in Philippine colonial houses in Vigan, the very first gown I designed (for FDCP’s Philippine Fashion Design Competition, many years back) used copper-wire fashioned into curly-cues as beadwork, along with hundreds of miniscule black hook-and-eyes  which allowed the gown to be taken apart and transformed into different styles.

 

From inspiration…

…to exhibit piece…

…to the fashion runway!
