In The Studio With Construction Layers | Vogue Philippines

For #KendrickCay and #CPGarcia, historical workwear inspires ways to reconstruct vintage fashion pieces. “We love imperfections,” CP shares. “Imperfection gives character.” In the fifth episode of Vogue Philippines’ In The Studio, the creative duo behind #ConstructionLayers opens up their Muntinlupa workshop, where textures from the past come alive in contemporary cuts and silhouettes. Always in pursuit of the bigger picture, the two co-designers reveal their process for building forward-thinking garments and their time-conscious approach to tailoring for the future.
