New Year, New Filipiniana!

The New Year is an excellent opportunity to take stock of our wardrobe, let go of what no longer resonates with us, while updating it with fresh styles and energy. As we shift toward more mindful lifestyles, there’s a conscious move toward incorporating locally-crafted, quality pieces that honor our traditions and heritage—perfectly aligning with the New Filipiniana collection by Kultura. 

Effortlessly blending tradition with modern style, the New Filipiniana collection features beautiful details like butterfly sleeves, handloomed weaves, and stunning embroidery. Vibrant and versatile, the collection is meant to be mixed and matched with pieces in your closet to create statement looks that are distinctly Filipino, yet uniquely your own.

Forget “costume dressing”—the New Filipiniana is for the modern Filipina who wants to seamlessly incorporate heritage into her everyday ‘fits, as an expression of her personal identity.

 

BIG SLEEVE ENERGY

Adapting the traditional terno gown for modern-day wear, our collection pays homage to the iconic butterfly sleeve, but in updated silhouettes like cropped tops and boleros.

This floral patterned terno bolero makes a versatile statement piece to wear over dresses, pants, or as seen here, an asymmetric embroidered skirt.

Or, a sheer terno bolero with delicate embroidery is perfectly juxtaposed against a bold-hued wrap skirt for a look that’s part-demure, but all fabulous.

 And for a headturning ensemble, a cropped butterfly-sleeved wrap top in handloomed weaves looks spectacular whether over crisp black slacks or a ballgown skirt.

 

CASUAL CLASSICS

From low-key to luxe details, these ensembles can take you from daily errands to happy hour in fabulous style.

A salmon-hued camisa and wide leg pants set looks fun yet glam, and each piece can also be worn separately for maximum fashion mileage! A pearl-studded woven tote perfectly complements this chic ensemble.
