Manila, Philippines—The Cultural Center of the Philippines, in partnership with BENCH/Suyen Corporation, reinterprets the terno, the traditional Filipina dress, in the exhibition “Filipiniana x Obra” at the National Museum of Fine Arts until May 4, 2025.
These fashion pieces, designed by the participants–winners, mentors, and finalists–at the recent “TernoCon 2025,” a biennial workshop and competition, were inspired by renowned 20th-century Filipino visual artists, including National Artists Leandro Locsin, Jose Joya, and Ang Kiukok, among others.
TernoCon plays a crucial role in CCP’s dedication to providing an avenue to give a platform to budding fashion designers while promoting the excellent craftsmanship behind the reinterpretation of the national dress…
