👖SUMMER CAPITAL
Baguio City is not merely a destination; it is an undeniable state of mind. Designer Tedd Mabitazan captures the city’s romantic, mist-bound nostalgia, channeling it through saturated Cordillera weaves and effortlessly cool silhouettes.
The collection translates the tactile reality of Baguio into sartorial art: the quiet intimacy of rainy café afternoons, rolling mountain mist, quiet intensity over concrete park chessboards, pony boy subculture, vintage treasures unearthed in ukay-ukay bins, public market greens, and radiant hillside sunflowers. Vibrant local weaves meet sculptural headwear and dramatic ruffles, merging heritage handweaving with the effortless edge of modern street style.
By breathing new energy into everyday layering, the collection brings local handwoven fabrics straight into the modern wardrobe, showing that traditional craft can feel completely fresh, current, and alive. #CoolisinSession
