Article (news)

<p>Presented by <strong>Zonta Club of Alabang</strong>, <em>Filipiniana Is Forever</em><strong></strong> is a benefit fashion show that honors the work of <strong>Patis Tesoro. </strong>Slated for November 4, 2025 at the Grand Ballroom of the Hyatt BGC, this milestone event will feature a 100-piece collection by the Grand Dame of Philippine fashion.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760073178546Patis Tesoro with ZTA Kathleen Liechtenstein and Annie Tangco.jpeg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Patis Tesoro with Zonta Club of Alabang&#x27;s Kathleen Liechtenstein and Annie Tangco</span></span></span></div><p>When <strong>Kathleen Liechtenstein</strong>, president of Zonta Club of Alabang, and other members heard of Patis’ plans for a fashion show in her San Pablo home, they offered to help produce the show for a larger audience. Many are patrons of Patis. They felt her work deserved this stage.</p><div><br/></div><p><em>Filipiniana is Forever</em> is not just a runway spectacle, it is both a tribute and a fundraiser. Over a career spanning five decades, Patis resurrected piña fabric in the country and continues to champion handcraft as the heart of her design process. Equally important, her studio team is composed of 90 percent of women from artisanal communities, reflecting her lifelong commitment to empowering Filipino craftsmanship.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760073419003192A6976.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>The collection itself ranges from everyday to formal, featuring <em>dasters </em>or house dresses elevated with handwoven textures, patchwork, and hand embroidery. Maria Clara gowns stand as key highlights, joined by kimono jackets inspired by Freddie Mercury and hand-painted <em>barongs</em>. With ninety-five percent of the pieces made by hand, the collection reflects Tesoro’s devotion to craftsmanship, infusing each garment with depth and character.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760073443524192A6743.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>A benefit show implies purpose beyond fashion. Proceeds from ticket sales will go to Zonta Club of Alabang’s programs, from prenatal screening and outreach programs for indigenous youth, to monthly food drives for children and more. Through this collaboration, fashion becomes a means to uplift communities and create lasting change.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760073473486192A6832.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>Patis Tesoro has shaped Philippine fashion and cultural identity. She has mentored artisans, preserved craft forms and uplifted women. Filipiniana Is Forever will do more than feature beautiful designs. It will serve as a stage for history, heritage, and hope.</p><div><br/></div><div><em>Photo Courtesy of Zonta Club of Alabang</em></div>
