Episode 316 - Lexicon of Fashion and Modern Filipiniana
On this episode, Jezzie longs for the first Monday in May and the Met Gala that raises funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. Jezzie shares the Met’s new plan-- this year, the Costume Institute announced the two-part exhibition: “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion” (Part I: Sept 2021) and “An Anthology of Fashion” opening in May 2022. Later, Jezzie links finding the vocabulary of fashion through the emotion, values and sentiments brought up in the fashion itself which made him wonder what is the modern vocabulary of Filipiniana. Jezzie guides Sigi in a critique to uncover the modern vocabulary of Modern Filipiniana Fashion. We invite you to join them as they revisit the looks at the 2019 ABS-CBN Ball (formerly StarMagic Ball) where all the TV and Movie stars gather. Several of the looks will be posted on IG for this episode. Jezzie sums it up quite well, “Fashion is not only functional, but can also be emotional and expressive.”
