On September 7, 2024, EC Entertainment + Media together with Kubo Productions LLC made a dazzling mark at New York Fashion Week by sponsoring the highly successful showcase of Carmelo Designs by renowned designer Carl Andrada. The event was a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and culture, as Carl Andrada’s stunning collection took center stage, drawing acclaim from fashion insiders and enthusiasts alike.
Carmelo Designs by Carl Andrada, a visionary Filipino costume and fashion designer based in Los Angeles, is celebrated for his dedication to eco-conscious and sustainable fashion. Known for championing traditional Filipino textiles, Carl brings the vibrant heritage of his homeland to the global fashion arena.
At New York Fashion Week, Carl Andrada unveiled his latest collection, “The Secret Garden” for Carmelo Designs. Inspired by the untamed beauty of the Philippines’ lush flora, the collection dazzles with vivid colors and intricate designs. Each piece is crafted from exquisite handwoven fabrics sourced from the country’s three major islands: Hablon from Iloilo in the Visayas, Musa from Mindanao, and Binakol from Luzon. These natural fiber textiles, steeped in centuries-old traditions, represent the essence of Filipino craftsmanship and cultural heritage.
“The Secret Garden” is more than a fashion statement—it’s a tribute to nature, tradition, and the future of sustainable fashion.
