LOCAL FASHION ARTWORKS

MODERN

The Vigan Gown-Made by Tippi Ocampo-Inspired by the lacy wrought-iron grillwork often found in Philippine colonial houses in Vigan, the very first gown designed by Tippi Ocampo, used copper-wire fashioned into curly-cues as beadwork, along with hundreds of miniscule black hook-and-eyes which allowed the gown to be taken apart and transformed into different styles.

The Trapo Gown

- By Tippi Ocampo- This “trapo” gown was inspired by the rags found in markets that were pieced & sewn together from scraps of various fabrics.

At the John Galliano Spring 2009 collection held at the runways of Paris. The doll-ish hair and makeup of the models did not distract from the fact that the clothes are the center of attention here.
