It was his first collaboration with Epson Philippines. Before heading to London for Fashion Scout, there was an official send off for John Herrera courtesy if Epson Philippines at the TWG Tea Salon and Boutique of EDSA Shangri-La Plaza Mall, Mandaluyong City.
“The inspiration for the Armada collection came from the very first map in history that included the Philippine islands. This map by Diogo Ribeiro shows the world circa 1529. With the help of Epson’s digital textile printing technology, I was able to render parts of this medieval and present designs on opaque and translucent fabrics. The combination of sheer and stiff materials with soft fabrics create new silhouettes will remind us of sailing to new worlds,” said John Herrera.
“This is the second time that John Herrera has tapped Epson’s digital textile printing technologies to create a totally different concept in fashion and design. and we are very happy to collaborate with him once again. As the brand ambassador of Epson Philippines’ Professional Printers Group, he has truly given us the world’s attention with his ingenious marriage of art and technology. This latest collection called “Armada” is John’s avant-garde take on history and roots, a creation that we are confident and will put the Philippines on the map once again,” said Ed Bonoan, Senior General Manager and Marketing Head of Epson Philippines.
