Philippine fashion design has transformed through the years from the Barong Tagalog and Filipiniana Terno to modern iterations of these classics mixed with foreign influences. For the talented Rhett Eala, his designs incorporate traditional Filipino patterns that blend well with modern styles. Our featured lokalista for this week is the lovely AC Legarda, Vice President of Ayala Malls, as she flexes Rhett Eala’s Kimono blazer to add a bit of color to her ensemble. Gawang lokal? Tara, i-flex mo na rin yan ngayong Friday! Take a photo of anything LOCAL and post it with the hashtag, #FlexPHridays on your socials. Be a Lokalista by showing your love and support for all things local every Friday! WEAR LOCAL, EAT LOCAL, DRINK LOCAL, TRAVEL LOCAL, READ LOCAL, WATCH LOCAL, LISTEN LOCAL, BUY LOCAL, GO LOKAL!
