Sharing my color studies from last month.

Director Connie Macatuno marvelously showcased our culture and roots through the urban Pinoy concept by combining global fashion and original Filipino designs in The Broken Marriage Vow, a Filipino adaptation of the BBC’s Doctor Foster. It is a concept that we never expected to see in a show, a concept that Filipino artists and designers should also promote and advocate. It celebrates our culture, helps promote our local designers, and most importantly, supports the livelihood of our skilled native weavers.
