Salute to Fashionalism

Coming from a family of patriots, I admire people or organizations who have an outward appreciation of all things Filipino. Because in reality, there is so much to be appreciated in the Philippines, and the Filipinos. We are a talented people and we manifest this talent in more ways than one. Yes, apart from singing and boxing.

Fashion is one of these manifestations, and I admire people who highlight and celebrate Filipino fashion and Filipino brands. I remember writing about Plains and Prints and Bayo, and how these two brands really walk the talk in terms of fashionalism because their items aren't just designed in the Philippines, they're also made in the Philippines.

Today, I found another site that celebrates Philippine fashion in a youthful and creative way. It's a website called "The Postura Project" and it challenged 4 participants to wear Filipino made clothing for 30 days.

Although I've only looked at 4 days, you can easily see the craftsmanship and creativity of Philippine fashion. And 120 distinct and diverse looks is testament to how creative we can be in this respect.

I salute brands like Plains and Prints and Bayo, and projects like "The Postura Project."
