A home stitched together with threads of memories, love, and passion 🏠🪡❤️
For the graduation fashion show of UPD BS Clothing Technology Batch 2026, the designers titled it “Tagpi-Tagpi”, referring to the idea of collaging each designer’s unique world into one unified tapestry of fantasies — recognizing their different approaches on fashion as their strength. This batch is diversely composed of freshies, shiftees, transferees, and individuals coming from different backgrounds; and their chosen title embraces the myriad of their experiences in the culmination of their journey as BS Clothing Technology students.
When Ron, their creative director, pitched to me the concept of their designer shoot that involves world building, I knew I had to be on board for their shoot. It was also a full circle moment for Ron; his hat design was featured in my Alice in Wonderland-themed fashion editorial published in Flanelle Magazine in 2024. As Ron explained in our Zoom meeting, they aim the designer shoot to evoke ingenuity, craftiness, connections, and a sense of wonder in relation to the theme of “Tagpi-Tagpi”
The patchwork dollhouse was created in collaboration with UPD Fine Arts students, headed by Raffy, Alia, and Jo. Each room references the concept of the designer’s collection, and the designers are scaled down to fit into their rooms — communicating a sense of childlike dreaming and conquering their larger-than-life dreams.
