Ensembles + Religioso: So empowering, so timeless
MANILA, Philippines - First came James Reyes, followed by Debbie Co and Louis Claparols. Now, Ensembles proudly collaborates with a design duo, Choc and Yvette Religioso, for its holiday 2011 collection.
Clearly a brand that embraces talented Filipino design talents, Ensembles enriches the local fashion landscape with its series of collaborations that defines shared visions.
Ensembles and Religioso make a perfect tandem as the holiday collection is so female, so flattering, so empowering and so timeless. Just like each of the two collaborators.
Sisters Yvette Religioso-Ilagan and Choc Religioso-Dayrit recently celebrated their fourth year in the fashion design industry. They started by doing weddings in 2005, later on starting their own clothing brand and finally opening their flagship store in 2006. Religioso, their main women’s line, embodies the stylish empowered woman of the new millennium, inspired by the genteel well-dressed women of the past.
Religioso’s signature designs are pleats and bows: classic pieces that offer a dash of style in creative details. “Every piece is stylish, but not faddish!” Yvette exclaims when asked to describe the collection they did for Ensembles.
Their secret formula? Pieces that adhere to style that transcends. You will see subtle yet impactful structured treatments using color blocking and pleated textures. “It was a wonderful experience collaborating with top retail brand Ensembles since it developed and opened more doors to develop our creative network.”
The collection is now available at Ensembles stores.
