From the Publisher
All over Southeast Asia, our neighboring countries like Indonesia and Thailand take great pride in their costumes and fabrics. It is clear that we can be equally proud of our beautiful textiles and fashion. We believe it is important then that we put together a publication which will showcase one of our richest resources: the fine quality of our fabrics — especially pina and intricately woven jusi. It is our intention that such a publication will also call attention to the boundless and inexhaustible talents of Philippine designers and the many other members of the fashion field. For such a tome, what better models can truly showcase our elegant ensembles but our many accomplished who are leaders in the field of politics? They are truly paragons of achievement and integrity.
