Collections
A lover of the ocean and a tropical girl through and through, Beatrice chose to center her final school collection around this enchanting world. She bought a simple scanner from Amazon, gathered common waste materials found at sea, scanned them one by one, and pieced everything together on Photoshop. Using photos of ocean trash sourced online, she traced them to form striking silhouettes, then combined them with her edited scans of the discarded materials.
The result is a collection she named Mostro—monsters of the ocean that humans so carelessly create.
During fashion school, Beatrice saw firsthand how wasteful the industry could be. Even as a student, she had already accumulated a chest full of fabric swatches and muslin scraps. Instead of discarding them, she laid everything out on her bed and began creating textures—layering one fabric over another to craft one-of-a-kind pieces she could wear on the streets, yet still worthy of an editorial.
Tira is a Filipino word meaning “leftover,” but it also carries the idea of something that can be repurposed into the useful—and even the beautiful. This is a collection still in development.
A collection of eight pieces that reminds us to stop and smell the flowers. Too often we forget to appreciate the small things—overlooking the beauty in their details if we would only pause and take notice. Mushrooms, humble earthly organisms that are often small, brown, and easily unnoticed, became the focus of Narito. Meaning “here” in Filipino, Narito is a reminder that mushrooms simply exist—quietly yet beautifully in their own space.
