TV show showcases Filipino fashion brands, designers
A NEW TV show which will start airing soon offers something aside drama to draw in viewers: all-Filipino wardrobe and costumes. Connie Macatuno, the director and costume design head of ABS-CBN’s upcoming series The Broken Marriage Vow, said in a statement that the show’s leads, Jodi Sta. Maria, Zanjoe Marudo, Sue Ramirez, Zaijian Jaranilla, and their co-stars will wear “entirely local” pieces made by Filipino designers and artisans. “I had long thought of doing a show using local designs from local designers. The first thing I thought was I would bring them all together. Most of the local designers will be there in showcasing their original work. It’s the thing that excited all of us,” said the director in a mix of English and Filipino in a video released by Dreamscape Entertainment. The actors will wear locally made apparel including shoes, accessories, indigenous fabrics, hand-embroidered pieces, and traditional Filipino clothes. The director personally picks and matches the elements of the stars’ outfits. Her vision for the Broken Marriage Vow aesthetic is “urban Pinoy,” which “mixes global brands and Filipino luxury brands together” to promote Filipino creativity, culture, and craftsmanship to the world. “We want to showcase our clothes, our roots, our culture in a different way. We get to wear the barong, the pina on a daily basis. We get to wear the weaves of different places here in the Philippines, and showcase original works of different designers that have global appeal,” she said. The Broken Marriage Vow is ABS-CBN’s adaptation of the hit BBC series Doctor Foster. It tells the story of Jill, a dedicated wife and mother who suspects that her husband David is having an affair, turning her picture-perfect life upside down. The series is produced by Dreamscape Entertainment and will soon air on ABS-CBN platforms.
