"Never forget the roots of your family"
A little serious of our mind:
Try to imagine, that your
grandchildren can´t speak with you in your language......
Learn your family the
language of the roots, so your family - children can speak their
language from childhood!
Learn your family the
culture of the roots, so your family understand and respect the roots e.g.
Mano Po!

Maria Clara gown The Maria Clara gown is a traditional gown worn by women in the Philippines. This Filipino dress takes its name from María Clara, the mestiza protagonist of the national epic Noli Me Tangere, penned in 1890 by Filipino national hero José Rizal. The Maria Clara dress originated from the conventional baro't saya of early Filipino women. |

Fans are called "paypay", "paipay", "pamaypay", "abaniko
(abanico)" in the Philippines.
The abaniko, together with the baro't saya, was once a part of a lady's attire. Read about the various ways of using and holding the abaniko may convey different meanings. -------- Si la mujer escondía los ojos detrás del abanico, estaba diciendo a su interlocutor que lo quería. If the woman hid her eyes behind the fan, she was saying to her would-be suitor that she loved him. Si colocaba el abanico sobre la mejilla izquierda, la respuesta era: No; y si lo posaba sobre la derecha, la respuesta era: Sí. If she placed the fan on her left cheek, the answer was: No; and if she placed it on the right cheek the answer was: Yes. Si la mujer se abanicaba con rapidez, significaba que estaba comprometida; y si lo hacía lentamente, le transmitía que estaba casada. If the woman fanned herself quickly it meant that she was engaged; and if she fanned herself languidly, she indicated that she was married.

Piña is a fiber made from the leaves of a pineapple plant and is commonly used in the Philippines. Since piña is from a leaf, the leaf has to be cut first from the plant. Then the fiber is pulled or split away from the leaf. Most leaf fibers are long and somewhat stiff. Each strand of the piña fiber is hand scraped and is knotted one by one to form a continuous filament to be handwoven and then made into a piña cloth. |

Week Spring Summer 2013
Lizanne Cua: "I'm always inspired usually by the future." - "Usually I'm a big sci-fi fan" - "I love Star-Trek, I love the idea of possibilities, about things that are not present yet but can come." - "The first thing that I do is be inspired by what is not here." - "What can be improved upon." - "I believe that each person should be able to find within themselves the strength to be who they are." - "To be who they are in the most positive way" - "And that's what I want to encourage." - "Each of my clothes is a series of questions, they're not statements." - "It doesn't say, 'The reason why they're minimal?... it's because they're a series of questions." - "Each outfit, when you look at them coming out of the runway, I'd like you to think: This is a question. And it's asking, 'Who are you?' - "Complete the sentence" - If the world was ending and I was running through the streets, my final look would be "My boots, leggings, and my signature black outfit. I would have my Caftan jacket on and maybe like a black shift dress. That would be very comfortable running through the streets. My hair would also look like this, pulled back. That would be my look" |

Oliver Tolentino El Paseo Fashion Show Palm
Springs "The Philippines has been turning pineapple leaves and
abaca plant leaves into fabric for hundreds of years" - Remark 3
videos in the album Born in Bataan province, fashion designer Oliver Tolentino became the first Philippines-based designer to expand to the United States when he opened a Los Angeles boutique on Melrose Avenue in 2009. Within a year, he was chosen as one of nine finalists in the Motion Picture Academy's Oscars Designer Challenge at Downtown Los Angeles Fashion Week. Eco-friendly materials have become an important part of Oliver's fashion sense, and he promotes his native country's fabrics internationally by including them in his collections. "My country has been green long before it was fashionable," he explains. "The Philippines has been turning pineapple leaves and abaca plant leaves into fabric for hundreds of years; so out of national pride, I want to show how elegant 'green' can be. ... Piña, what we call the fabric from pineapple fiber, is naturally off-white with an organza texture. It creates vintage-looking gowns, but also can be dyed vibrant colors." |
