THE Philippines' contender for the upcoming Miss International Pageant, Hannah Arnold, declares much interest and support for the use and promotion of Philippine natural textiles.
Arnold expressed her support upon learning of the Department of Science and Technology's (DoST's) local capability to produce world-class products and of their socio-economic benefit to the local textile industry.
The Binibining Pilipinas Miss International 2021 has shown her support for Philippine textiles by inviting everyone to join the celebration of the Philippine tropical fabrics (PTF) month last January using social media.
Several virtual activities were organized by the DoST-Philippine Textile Research Institute (PTRI) like the TELA Sessions, 3rd Philippine Silk Summit, TELA Conference Plenary, and the TELA Talks.
Arnold was the special guest during the launch of the 2022 TELA Conference Exhibition held at the DoST-PTRI TELA Gallery Textile Design and Innovation Hub in Taguig City.
A modern Filipiniana ensemble made of 100 percent Philippine silk was created for her by the DoST-PTRI, in partnership with various local textile stakeholders. The dress was made using the fabric of silk yarns from silkworms reared by partner cocoon producers in Misamis Oriental.
The fabrics used 21-denier silk yarn for the warp and 84-denier silk yarn for the weft or filling yarn, which was naturally dyed using Philippine indigo and woven into a powder blue silk fabric. The silk fabric was a handloom woven by the Dela Cruz House of Piña and was designed into a modern Filipiniana by the homegrown fashion brand Bayo.
Arnold proudly wore and modeled the Filipiniana during her visit at the DoST-PTRI facility and was delighted to see, first-hand, the different wearable products showcased in the TELA Exhibition, designed and produced by popular local brands like Bayo, Unica Hija, Philippine Fashion Coalition member-designers Ann Casas, Pablo Cabahug, Regina Aquino, and Niño Angeles, using materials provided by the DoST-PTRI.
