1 JOR-EL ESPINA
The modern Filipiniana has been Jor-el Espina’s foundation for his namesake brand. Combining tradition with more contemporary designs and silhouettes, Espina finds himself in a special place in furthering the conversation of Filipino design identity. One of his special pieces is the bomberong which is a barong and bomber jacket hybrid that eases traditional piña fabric to an everyday piece. An ArteFino fair favorite, Espina also makes bomberong ternos for women that feature the iconic butterfly sleeves that is perfect for the holidays. From reinventing the traditional kimona to modernizing Filipino embroidery into protective masks, Espina is very much in touch with the present fashion landscape but is continuously inspired by traditions that have built the Filipino design identity
