A simple bolero top made with silk jusi and piña silk fabric, accented with floral motifs and paired with a draped pinstripe skirt. A modern take on the Maria Clara.
The Shape of Water. From my 2019 Prêt-à-Couture collection. This piece was a study in movement, taking cues from the architectural fins of a Fighting Fish and the haunting beauty of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid. #thashapeofwater #thelittlemermaid #cutourefashion

I designed this Balintawak terno for my mama to wear at my cousin's wedding. My vision was to capture the essence of a probinsyana woman attending a traditional village wedding, celebrating her roots and heritage. Crafted from luxurious silk gazaar fabric, it features elegant draping in jusi fabric and is adorned with dragonfly accents embellished with Swarovski crystals.
My TernoCon 2025 barong, a stunning take on a classic. This Cuban-collar barong, crafted from fine textured silk organza, is beautifully embellished with hand-crafted calla lilies.#ternocon2025 #barongtagalog
I created this look for a dance recital for @__eliv8 . A white Mikado silk suit jacket embellished with three dimentional lasercut flowers and draped with soft tulle fabric took inspiration from the idea of tulip flowers being washed out by running water.#kpop #menswear #zerostudiosummerdancecamp #couturefashion #tulips #flowers#zerostudioph
