Scarlet Terno — Modern Filipiniana Couture

Scarlet Terno is part of To The Golden Age, a collection shaped by ceremonial presence and controlled proportion. The ensemble reflects a modern Filipiniana approach grounded in traditional terno form.

At its core is a structured corset crafted from piña cocoon silk. The material introduces subtle texture and natural density, allowing the silhouette to remain defined without visual weight. Its fitted construction establishes balance against the expansive sleeves.

The terno sleeves are rendered in deep scarlet fabric with pronounced volume. Their outward extension frames the upper body and reinforces the architectural presence of the ensemble. Scale and movement are introduced through proportion, while the corset maintains compositional clarity.

Color functions as a defining element. Scarlet carries ceremonial intensity and historical association, while the neutral tone of the corset softens the contrast. Together, these elements create a measured dialogue between strength and restraint.

Scarlet Terno is designed for formal settings, cultural events, and editorial presentation. The piece conveys the spirit of To The Golden Age through material contrast, disciplined construction, and a modern interpretation of Filipiniana.
