MANILA, Philippines - The Ayala Museum and Ayala Malls was drenched in a bucket of colors during the Yarn Bomb Knit Bomb, an exhibition which turned the trees in its surrounding gardens into canvasses for bright, bold, and retro fabrics, knit, crochet, and weave works as street art.
The featured designer is the Queen of Knitwear Lulu Tan-Gan, who seamlessly merged Philippine artisan sophistication with contemporary design in a style dubbed as Indigenous Couture. Tan-Gan, a De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) fashion design and merchandising faculty, enlisted the help of its students as collaborators.
This public installation is part of G.A.M.E. – the Greenbelt + Ayala Museum Experience, which aims to bring art pieces outside of the gallery and to the outdoors, by highlighting the country’s history and culture through inspiring artistry and craftsmanship.
