Teodora Bolero
Cocoon silk in Dune Silt, maroon embroidery — deep, warm, structured.
The Teodora Bolero is a foundational study in modern Filipiniana. Defined by its square-cut silhouette and butterfly sleeves, the piece establishes proportion as its primary language — structured at the frame, softened in motion.
Sampaguita-inspired embroidery moves across the surface as a quiet rhythm, integral to the form rather than applied to it. Here the motif is carried in maroon, a deeper register that draws a richer interplay of surface and shadow.
Two editions. The Classic carries the maroon embroidery alone; the Embellished works hand-applied beadwork into the motif, drawing a deeper interplay of surface and light.
Structured butterfly sleeves carry the proportion into movement. A hidden front hook closes the silhouette clean.
A signature study from The Mestizo.
