"WHYDAH" Design Fusion Spring/Summer '09 PhilippineFashionWeek2008






Philippine Fashion Week ‘08
Spring/Summer 2009
Category: Design Fusion
Title: “WHYDAH” (pronounced Wih-Dah)


The oceans bright ripe corals that bring glee
Cascading waters of the purple night sea
Gigantic green vines hanging over the ship’s gaff
This collection portrays a pirate feel in their behalf

An apposite representation of a pirate’s code of dressing, infusing a number of distinguished buccaneer possessions yet keeping the wearability of each piece for modern times. Despite the predominantly obvious inspiration from rags, this collection still presents the right amount of elegance.

Fabric: Cotton, Linen, Jersey, Corduroy
Colors: Capturing the strong colors from the sea


*Brief background: WHYDAH
· First ever pirate ship discovered in North America
· An ex-slave ship under the command of Lawrence Prince (London 1715)
· Captain Samuel “Black Sam” Bellamy, chased down Whydah in February 1717 and claimed her as his flagship

*I first read about her a few years ago in National Geographic magazine, which I fondly thought of to use as my inspiration for this season’s collection.
