Kapayapaan
The reason where everything started. A start-up collaboration that we didn’t think would grow as a circle of creatives. A piece endowed from the women of the past to the Filipinas of the future. Designed to be comfortable and a progress of inovation. This is a representation of a modern filipina wearing power and elegance in one.

Paglalakbay
A hardworking modern Filipina. She will do everything she can to pursue her dream, her passion and to give back to her family. This piece is inspired by Filipinas who are working away from home, struggling but never stopping until the day her dreams come true. It is a way of paying tribute to the zealous women of today. The terno top is made of  tweed, embellished with functional buttons arranged in the dartline.

Pag-asa
Hope. A piece inspired by being recognised in the line of fashion as one of those who dreamed of empowering women through clothes that spoke so much of our history. MARCOpilipino has been passionate about bringing this generation closer to a day where every Filipina has atleast one set of terno in their closet. A hope that is yet to become a reality.
