[Image description: Two side-by-side drawings of a woman wearing a bright red terno top and skirt, with embroidered golden waves on the hem and sleeves.
The left drawing shows her wearing only the bodice of the terno. Dark brown knives and sheathes are strapped around her upper arms. The right drawing is the same, though this time she wears bell-shaped terno sleeves large enough to cover the knives. /end ID]
bonus lil comic under the cut <3
[Image Description: three panel comic.
1: The woman in the red terno is holding a glass of wine, standing next to a taller woman in a white terno. A man stands at the side, reaching for the second woman, implying that he touched her arm/hip.
2: The woman in the white terno reaches for a knife under the sleeve of the woman in the red terno.
3: The woman in the white terno snatches the knife outwards, stabbing the man in the process. The woman in the red terno closes her eyes sips her wine calmly. /end ID]
Alamat's 'porque' concept photo series
<HARANA set>
These HapiHabi Wearable Weaves-designed outfits worn by Alamat in the music video, “porque” are collectively called the Harana set.
The outfits are inspired by illustrations of Filipinos wearing the Barong in the 19th Century.
During the early Spanish period, it was typical for a Filipino man in love, to woo and court their beloved by organizing a group of friends to help serenade her. In doing so, the group would often don the iconic Barong Tagalog.

Palad ay basang-basa / And dagitab ay damang-dama / Sa ‘king kalamnang punong-puno / Ng pananabik at ng kaba / Lalim sa ‘king bawat paghinga / Nakatitig lamang sa iyo //
Naglakad ka nang dahan-dahan / Sa pasilyo tungo sa altar ng simbahan / Hahagkan na’t ‘di ka bibitawan / Wala na ‘kong mahihiling pa //
Ikaw at ikaw… // - SunKissed Lola, “Pasilyo”

Turning a Barong Tagalog into a filipiniana dress! Here's the progress pics on the fun mesh top Filipiniana I wore yesterday. I'm gonna be making casual butterfly sleeves a THING even if I gotta make them myself 🔥🇵🇭🔥
AND FINALLY styling the completed filipiniana for a wedding 🔥
My favorite thing about wearing butterfly sleeves out is it's basically a beacon for other Filipinos to find you and I love all the cool connections I've made 💜🇵🇭💜
i follow a ton of korean fans of hypmic too and today i learned that saburo calls ichiro ‘ichi-hyung’ in korean and just about fell to the floor where i stood lol

Authentic Attire: Exploring Traditional Filipino Clothing for Male
Elevate your style in traditional Filipino clothing for men, capturing the essence of elegance and cultural pride. Experience the timeless charm today! The Mestizo collection.
Hi folks! So, besides writing about pre-colonial history, culture, and beliefs in the Philippines, especially on my Instagram nowadays, I'm also a photographer based in NYC.
One of my main themes as a photographer is doing cultural heritage photo sessions! This latest one was with a friend of mine during my recent trip to Detroit. She is of Karay-a descent and the focus here was to honor her ancestors by dressing up in pre-colonial clothing in the Bisayas. She also had a top woven by the Panay Bukidnon, who speak Karay-a.
Are you interested in honoring your culture and ancestors by doing a photoshoot wearing traditional and pre-colonial attire?
➡️ Then send an inquiry on my website! I also do travel.
thepinayphotographer.mypixieset.com
I also work with others who are not of Filipino descent in helping them honor their own ancestors and heritage. So if you or anyone you know would be interested, send this to them or tag them!
