A Radiant Return
Showcasing at one of the most prestigious fashion platforms is a milestone that never loses its thrill for the designer. “It’s my second global show,” Tetangco shares, “and every time, it feels as exhilarating as the first.” The anticipation is palpable, and her excitement is almost as radiant as the pieces unveiled.
The heart of Tetangco’s collection pulses with the rhythm of summer nights. It captures the transition from a golden sunset to twilight’s deep hues, encompassing the magic of that moment. The designs evoke this ethereal shift: the warmth of a setting sun ombrés the serene lure of dusk, but the palette is cool to the eye.
“I always draw inspiration from women,” she reveals. “I want them to feel empowered, yet romantic; alluring but still elegant.” Her designs embody understated elegance with a dash of whimsy.
Sunset Serenade
Tetangco’s collection is a sartorial love letter to the evening sky, a tribute to the fleeting twilight where day says its bittersweet goodbye to the sun. Clean lines and soft, sheer silhouettes waltz through neutral palettes, occasionally disrupted by playful asymmetries and surprise textures. The fabrics shimmer with the last gasp of daylight, like sequins and metallics reflecting the sun’s final bow.
Her designs embody the essence of a never-ending summer, ripe with the feeling of sun-soaked leisure and effortless elegance. “I see my collection contributing to the broader trends by blending functionality with creativity,” she says, though it’s more about capturing summer’s perpetual glow. Each piece is like a ripe fruit, expressing the balance of labor and rest, reflecting the warmth of a tan and the ease of summer’s languid days.
Must-Have Magic
As for essentials, Tetangco is straightforward: the two-piece coordinates are this season’s standout. “Mix and match them for day-to-night versatility,” she advises. “My top pick? The sheer dotted bubble coordinates—they’re a must-have!”
Andrea Tetangco hopes her collection leaves a lasting impression. “I want people to see my work as a blend of art, purpose, and wearability,” she shares. She hopes her designs record the everlasting beauty of summer nights, imparting a sense of sophistication and enchantment that endures well after the season is over.
