Bonifacio Global City (BGC) – Celebrated Filipino designer Happy Andrada captivated audiences with a striking Filipiniana collection at the Pinoy Playlist Music Festival 2024. Held at the BGC Art Center, her runway presentation featured a mesmerizing fusion of tradition and modernity, showcasing 32 pieces that honor the Philippines’ rich textile heritage while reimagining the iconic Filipiniana style for today’s global stage.
Andrada’s collection was a vibrant tribute to the diverse regions of the Philippines. Using fabrics like T’nalak, Pina Silk, Knotted Pina, Inaul, Abel Ilcoco, Yakan, Jusi, and Pina Callado, she infused each piece with intricate embroidery and avant-garde tailoring. The designs reflected the designer’s commitment to preserving Filipino artistry while pushing the boundaries of contemporary fashion. Highlights from the collection included “The West Philippine Sea”, which was also featured in the Fashion Art Biennale in Seoul, Korea last September.
Each garment in the collection reflected Andrada’s dedication to the craftsmanship of traditional Filipino fabrics and textures, while offering a fresh, global perspective. Guests were treated to a visually stunning experience as they watched the garments come to life on the runway, set to the powerful rhythms and enchanting vocals of Anima Tierra. The world music collective’s performance elevated the fashion show, infusing it with cultural depth and transforming the runway into a dynamic, immersive experience.
“I am truly honored to be a part of the Pinoy Playlist Music Festival,” said Happy Andrada. “This event celebrates the best of Filipino culture, and it’s a privilege to share my vision of modern Filipiniana with such a passionate audience.”
The fashion show was a key highlight of PPMF 2024, which ran from November 15 to 17 (though the last day was cancelled due to Typhoon Pepito).
