The exhibition of works (opened last November) by Salvacion Lim Higgins, most known by Slim, at the National Museum of the Philippines was really worth the trip! Slim is considered to be one of the noted pioneers who helped shaped Philippine haute couture in the last century. After quickly flicking through the recently published Slim look book and seeing the exhibition in the flesh suddenly gave me such inspiration!
Slims's works is said to be known for its quality and avant garde style during its style. What was most astonishing was the innovative designs of one of the Philippines most iconic women's costume. It really got me excited about the use of butterly wings, which was popularised by the former first lady Imelda Marcos.
I did some sketches while I was there:
Just simply fantastic!
