EUn.

ENVU is an illustrative 8-piece garment collection that hones the concept of beauty in being unconventional. That anyone who wears EUN feels strong and emulates confidence and power.

The collection represents my personal story of growth; my constant journey of self-acceptance and self-love. I wanted to illuminate the painful endurance it takes for one to keep growing, to show that it takes a lot of self-inflicted violence to finally be kind to oneself.

Hari in Tagalog means reigning or being a king. This project exposed me to the realm of zero-waste design for the very first time, allowing me to become creatively challenged in redesigning something that emulated royalty whilst being mindful of waste.

Involves the creation of accessories for the show showcases COLLART’S sustainability ethos. The project focused on upcycling pre-existing materials found at COLLARTS or at home.

Revived Denim is a personal project of mine that involved upcycling a pair of loved but unused denim jeans into a set that was more in line with the fluid and subversive fashion aesthetic I am currently embodying.

This project involved the deconstruction and reconstruction of pre-existing garments. This collection represents the pain of feeling displaced in an unaccepting society yet represents the immense strength to continually live despite such systemic challenges.

My graduate collection Sa Wakas (At Last) embodies the concept of reclamation in the form of a conscious direction of upcycling pre-existing textiles/materials and the celebration of Filipino Indigenous culture. This collection aims to evoke a sense of speculative curiosity that stems from pride which surrounds a hauntingly beautiful vision.
