Check out these ternos crafted by ingenious Filipino designers at the Main Mall Atrium of SM Mall of Asia The celebration and honoring of the 126th Philippine Independence Day and the rich Filipino fashion culture continues with the ongoing TernoCon: Kasarinlan, Kultura, Kasuotan (KKK) exhibit at the Main Mall Atrium, SM Mall of Asia. The exhibit showcases the terno pieces unveiled during the TernoCon: Kasarinlan, Kultura, Kasuotan fashion show, held last June 10, 2024 at the Museo del Galeon at the SM Mall of Asia. This event was part of the #LoveLocal campaign by Bench/ lifestyle + clothing and the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), and supported this year by SM Supermalls.

These innovative terno collections showcase the pride and personal craftsmanship of three visionary Filipino designers Jaggy Glarino, Jojie Lloren, and Cary Santiago. The iconic terno, a classic Filipino formal attire, characterized by its signature butterfly sleeves and floor-length skirt, has become a symbol for elegance, femininity, and national pride encapsulating Philippine identity and showcasing the nation's cultural heritage. This year, Bench/ lifestyle + clothing, SM Supermalls, and the CCP, together with the designers, have successfully embodied the essence of the terno through each collection that not only highlights the designers' unique artistic perspectives but also weaves stories of Filipino heritage into every meticulously crafted piece.
