The Negros Museum hosted a fashion show in November this year, featuring the work of celebrated Filipino designer Patis Tesoro. The event opened with a warm welcome by Lyn B. Gamboa, president of the Negros Cultural Foundation, and was directed and choreographed by Rene G. Hinojales.

The highlight of the evening was the designer’s outstanding 35-piece collection that seamlessly fused traditional Filipino elements with modern flair. This included Freddie Mercury-inspired outfits, Barongs, funky sleeveless ensembles, bohemian malongs, retro futuristic styles, gowns and the timeless Kaplan. The designs underscored the beauty of Filipino craftsmanship, celebrating both tradition and modernity under the theme “Filipiniana is forever.”
