Aspiring expatriate fashion designers recently took part in a specialised training workshop aimed at refining their skills in creating one of the most iconic elements of traditional Filipino attire – the Filipiniana (traditional long dress).
Organised by Habi Pilipina, a Filipino cultural and fashion group, the workshop was held in Muharraq and brought together emerging designers and cultural advocates eager to deepen their understanding of the craft.
Led by experienced trainer Epifania Fuyoc, the sessions focused on the artistry behind the Filipiniana, known for its distinctive sleeves, elegance and cultural symbolism.
