The recent Love, Bonito’s Trailblazers Summit put the spotlight on women who are paving the way for the next generation of trailblazers — women who have forged unique paths in their respective fields.

Historically, Asian women have faced limited opportunities and, culturally, the idea of breaking barriers has not always been part of daily conversations. But, despite these challenges, we continue to defy cultural and gender norms for decades, quietly shaping history with resilience and strength.

To commemorate International Women’s Month, Love, Bonito co-founder Rachel Lim with Empath founder Steph Naval and professional football player Cam Rodriguez took part in bold conversations on key topics on mental health, career, societal expectations and more.

Here are some key takeaways from the panel discussion:

Women should continue to take up space in fields of their passion.

We can meet ambitions and societal expectations without changing who we are. It’s also okay to not meet them every time.

Femininity is power.

You are not alone in your journey toward achieving your goals.

Surround yourself with like-minded people.

Keeping a journal encourages self-confidence. Write down your goals.

Showing up is an important step to achieving success.

Keep chasing your dreams.

Learn how to set boundaries.

Aging is a privilege in itself. Do not let anyone tell you you’re way past your prime.

New collection

The brand’s new collection redefines workwear, reimagining classic styles with elevated tailoring, lightweight fabric, and soft, structured silhouettes in a palette of fresh, feminine neutrals.

Designed for the modern woman, the Trailblazer collection is a key addition to Love, Bonito’s Signatures line, offering customers effortless transitions from feminine dressing to power suiting.

Made of lightweight crepe which is known for its breathability, the Aika Tailored Button Down Vest Top redefines what it means to look sharp and feel comfortable for your workday. Pair it with the Wei Elastic Sunray Pleated Midaxi Skirt which is also crafted in a similar material to ensure maximum comfort.

If you’re looking to take corporate core to the weekends, look no further than the RuchedReady Aika Classic Shoulder Padded Blazer and the Aika Elastic Pleated Tailored Shorts which is thoughtfully designed with a back elasticated waistband.

Crafted from crease-ease crepe fabric, the Leggy Moira Regular Super High Waist Straight Leg Pants stay looking sharp all day long. For a complete outfit, pair it with the RuchedReady Moira Belted Collarless Blazer, a relaxed and less structured alternative to traditional blazers.
