Congrats again to Hindy for another great achievement!! Beautiful Collection!!
I think all Heart2Heart ever does is congratulate Hindy for many of her accomplishments and always contributing to the betterment of our country, our environment and to the fashion industry!
Showing the mastery of the craft, Hindy Weber- Tantoco does not fail to impress the audience as she presents her most up-to-date collection of exquisite design at the fifth installation of the Fashion Watch Quartet Series 3.
Classy and tasteful are just a few of the many words that can describe Hindy-Weber Tantoco’s new Holiday collection. Her newest line takes inspiration from nature with its vibrant fauna and foliage evident in her pieces. Bulb-shaped silhouettes make up the main pieces of the new line taking off from the “cocooned tightness of flower buds”. Exceptional detailing is manifested in her line of evening wear boasting of burnt ruffle edges to mimic flower petals. Gowns, pants and jackets in floral prints were also distinct in the collection sticking to the designer’s foremost inspiration – La Vien En Fleur as she names it. Meticulously draped jerseys in an array of colors also stand out as the art of draping becomes recognizable. Casual wear as well is taken up a notch as Hindy-Weber Tantoco shows off what she is known for in the line of ready to wear clothing. Blouses and jackets in different materials were paired off with a selection of slim fit or wide leg pants with belts to cinch the waist.
Another emergent piece all throughout the designer’s line is the intricate wood appliqué that play as accents, standing out either as belt buckles, head and neck pieces or bag ornaments. These locally hand-carved wood appliqués do amplify an ordinary outfit adding flair and style to the whole look.
Sophistication takes its form in this collection that features a palette of very specific colors like twilight blue, sunset orange, dove grey, and sand. Alongside the vibrant array of colors, it is then combined with a wide selection of materials such as structured linens, brocades, and silk charmeuse further escalating the taste and stylishness of anyone.
Fashion Watch Quartet’s production team is led by producers Joji Dingcong and McC Cuan, with the help of project director Patrick Rosas with his creative makeup team, project coordinator Grace Molina, and guest director for series 3, Robbie Carmona.
