"Pintados Bakya" shoe design

Category: Footwear

Competitions: Philippines

My idea of leather fashion accessories is to make it culturally relevant for my country while being visual. It is something wit just a drop of ethnicity but with international flare. My entry is inspired by Pintados Bakya—the ancient painted men and women of the Philippines, many of whom are from the indigenous peoples in Panay Island where I live.
