I've always loved Filipino wear. I've done several ternos and barongs for clients, some classic the others updated versions. I enjoy tweaking them to make them contemporary and more relevant to the times, by making them short or making the sleeves smaller. I still believe every Filipina should have a terno. It doesn't matter if the party specifies Filipiniana. Just wear it as you wish. It's really very special. Take pride in our national costume the way our Asian counterparts do, because wherever you are, you are a Filipino.
I got attracted to these photos taken during the Jul B. Dizon anniversary show. It shows a vision of the new Filipina. Confident, poised, classy with a touch of tradition.
