A couple of days ago, we received an invitation from the BENCH Show PR (Japan), to attend the BENCH / TERNOCON show. 

As much as I would love to attend this prestigious fashion show, my PH passport wouldn't let me travel at the last minute (... wait until I finally got my AU passport!). But I love Tokyo fashion, so I always find ways to deliver.

I found a way to watch the show online (thanks rakutenfashionweektokyo.com website!), and yes, the show is so good. The modern interpretation of the Filipino Terno dresses is making me think of creating my own pieces, inspired by these designs.

Dennis Lustico from Samar Province, Philippines, gained experience in men's clothing brands and honed his tailoring skills in the early 2000s. The feminine dress was highly praised by people in the Manila fashion industry. Known for its intelligent use of color, Dennis Lustico's collection has been showcased in the Paris Fashion Week showroom since 2016.

Joey Samson from Cavite, Philippines, is called "Garment Surge (= Garment Surgeon)" because of his high construction/demolition technology. His tailoring skills can be applied to both men and women, and his work has been published in various books and exhibited in Paris and Singapore.
