During the cocktails, I approached my friend Vicky Veloso-Barrera, one of the head researchers for the SLIM retrospective, and asked if I could go ahead and view the collection for my blog! I wanted to take really good shots of the collection. I really wanted to share this with everyone as I feel that the SLIM legacy has to be experienced by all. What she gave us all is a tangible face of who we are as Filipinos.
This entry is quite long, so please bear with me. Vicky filled me with so much juicy details that I hope I can remember it all. The exhibit is defined not chronologically but through the various elements that SLIM used when she was designing. Elements like Shape, Line, Surface, Influence and Brides, all of which were an integral part of her artistry.
I tried to capture as much images and information as I can but the best thing really is to visit the show itself. The show will last till March and I intend to bring my entire team and staff to the show early next year. This is one show NO ONE should miss out on! To everyone involved in creating this masterpiece of a legacy, I say THANK YOU! This is really how it should be done! I could feel the true effort in creating something of this magnitude!
CONGRATULATIONS! What an amazing feat! ENJOY the photos!
The exhibit showcased more than 100 items of clothing and artifacts that showcases what Philippine Haute Couture looked like from 1947 to 1990. The exhibit showcased more than 100 items of clothing and artifacts that showcases what Philippine Haute Couture looked like from 1947 to 1990.
The lady on the right is SLIM! She is Salvacion Lim- Higgins. I stayed up all night trying to read her book. She is a fascinating lady!
