Teodora Bolero
Peau de Soie in Black Obsidian — composed, exact, present.
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 read through contrast — the form sharpening, the structure revealed with clarity and precision.
Offered in a Classic and an Embellished edition. The Classic keeps the embroidery against the matte ground. The Embellished works hand-set beadwork into the motif, drawing light the dark satin withholds.
Structured butterfly sleeves carry the proportion into movement. A hidden front hook closes the silhouette clean.
A signature study from The Mestizo.
