In The Studio With Patis Tesoro | Vogue Philippines

When international designers ask #PatisTesoro to work with them, her reply is the same: “I only work for the Filipino.” For the first episode of Vogue Philippines’ In The Studio, we visit the Patis Tito Garden Cafe in Laguna, where the designer shares her decades-long passion for the #Terno, her fascination with color and embellishment, her efforts to revive traditional Piña fabric, and her vision of designing with a distinctly Filipino identity.
