Ms. CINDY MAC Back in 2020, Ms. Cindy Mac fervently searched for natural products, hoping to find something she could incorporate in her handmade clothing and accessories business. Trusting the craftsmanship of Filipinos, she particularly looked for materials from the Philippines which led her to find The Musa Fabric by Joy Soo.
MPRESSED BY ITS EXCEPTIONAL advocacy, she decided to order a Musa dress for herself, which she planned to use as the host during a wedding in Los Angeles. Finally seeing the Musa Fabric in person, she recalled how she was astounded by its quality, while recognizing how the banana fiber transformed into such creation. “When I saw the fabric itself made I with fibers, I was amazed by the quality, the vibrant colors, and the way it was done,” she emphasized in an online interview. On that very moment, she was certain about becoming a Musa supporter. Who would have expected? In 2022, The House of Musa consisting of designers, production and technical team was created, wherein Cindy now takes part as the Musa Travel Runway Productions Director in USA. Her first Musa Fashion Show in San Diego, California called “Musa for all Generation” involves model-advocates with varying age brackets, aiming to feature the generation gap among them, as she wanted to show that advocating for Musa is for everyone. According to her, the Musa Advocacy is a meaningful and worthy journey which anyone can take part, no matter how big or small. “Just like everybody else, I think what motivates us would be the advocacy. The meaning behind Musa is so strong for me, and I think it’s endearing because I can help the inmates to sustain their livelihood. In this way, they can feel that they’re still being valued in the community.”
