Cebu-born fashion designer, Mia Arcenas is back after her long hiatus from Philippine fashion. Known for luxe resort wear under her eponymous label, Arcenas is distinctly unparalleled in the designer retail landscape and remains in a league on her own.
The brands’ aesthetics of fluid silhouettes and luxe fabrication have consistently been standout statement pieces through the years and define local designer luxury resort wear.
This summer, the celebrated designer takes a contemporary approach to resort wear and introduces a new definition to luxe.
Entitled “Ethereal Escape,” the collection captures the essence of lightness, movement and quiet luxury,” Mia Arcenas says. “Fabrics were carefully chosen to move with the body —silks, whisper-light cottons and airy linens that feel like second skin. Elegance of form flows in sexy asymmetrical draping and fluid silhouettes. Light and easy, luxury comes in a palette of soft neutrals, sun-faded pastels and iridescent textures.
Mia adds, “Ethereal Escape is for those who dress like the tide — fluid, intentional and free.”
A sense of effortlessness is channeled through the use of delicate prints and metallic accents. Refinement is fashioned in more subdued look, tranquil manner and nonchalant demeanor. Each piece is an homage to dreamers and wanderers who find beauty in stillness and luxury in simplicity.
The designer ends, “Ethereal Escape is not just a collection; it’s an invitation — to drift, to dream and to rediscover yourself in a world where elegance lives in the quietest places.”
