HERE ARE MANY WAYS TO EXPRESS love for your country. Mine just happens to be fashion. From the rare views and natural landscapes to the beautifully embroidered traditional clothing, I take inspiration from the rich culture of my
country, the Philippines.
Musa de Aretes by Belle Verano is fueled by a love for our culture and a desire to help my countrymen by providing jobs to people deprived of liberty. It started from the encouragement and support of my best friend Joy Soo and I, as the Head designer, aim to continue that encouragement and support with the Cagan Tribe, a Muslim tribe who wholeheartedly shares their culture and expertise in crafts making. As an advocate for our Indigenous brothers and sisters. It brings me so much hope and inspiration to be able to see them provide for their families and do meaningful work that enables them to make known to the world what their tribe can do.
