🐚 HISTORY OF FILIPINIANA 🐚 We touched on the men’s barong and we can’t forget about the FILIPINIANA - a traditional dress that is known for it’s dynamic butterfly sleeves, plain blouse (baro or camisa), long skirt (saya), and a pañuelo (a square of cloth used as a head covering or worn as a scarf around the neck) worn over the shoulders.  The Filipino’s fascination with terno stemmed from the influence of the Spanish colonial period; an era that highlighted Christian ethics which demanded women be modest at all times 🗡️ The “terno” emerged after centuries of evolution incorporating modern design. Today’s Filipiniana exude elegance, reclamation of bodily autonomy and the grace of a Filipina ✊🏾🌿 Pictured here is our Chef / Owner meltronica with her mom juliemiranda1i and a_meal_yeah at a celebratory event! 💛🇵🇭 . . . . #AANHPI #AAPI #Barong #FilipinoHistory #MELfunction #MusangGangGang #ubehouse #musang #musangseattle #beaconhill #seattle #seattlefoodscene #filipinotown #filip...
