In this collection, Salud will present creations that show contemporary and intricate ways of fusing Philippine indigenous fabrics with embroidery, as well as modern variations of the traditional Filipiniana.
Salud says, “I’ve been a staunch advocate for the Philippine fiber industry; its fabrics such as piña, abaca and the Maguindanaons’ handwoven fabric, inaul, which have been ingrained in indigenous traditions dating back to the Spanish colonial period in the Philippines, have the strong potential to appeal to global markets…
My show in New York and New Jersey (NY/NJ) will put the spotlight on these intricate masterpieces, which makes a fashion statement on the exotic, regional influences of indigenous tribes in the Philippines and their rich accessorizing.
I want young Filipino Americans to be proud of their own culture by not forgetting the Filipiniana style of clothing, which is simple yet functional.”
