Collections
Triple A Label debuted in July 2019 at the Sinulid: Altered Translation, a final prerequisite before graduating.The collection focused on the seasonal interactions and relationships of people in the designer’s life.The title Crossroads insinuates the intricacy of connections and how each of these relations lead to different outcomes that form the main avenue that is the designer.Inspired by the concrete jungle, her fascination with city life was used as the main theme for the design.Focusing on interwoven roads and the life to be found on its side.The use of earth tones was to signify the sense of being grounded and staying true to roots, for what is under concrete is still earth. This then provides a sense of nostalgia.
Inspired by the sky and its affiliation to freedom, the designer wanted to narrate the need to begin again.With freedom comes the need to be comfortable. Thus, the designs made for this line were centered on mobility and comfort.As bright as the sky, shades of blue and white were used to symbolize serenity. It is a color seen and appreciated by many, and instills calmness.The collection launched last August 20, 2021, on the Triple A Label Instagram page @triplea.label
There is both beauty and terror in the overwhelming mystery that is the deep ocean.Inspired by her enchantment and fear of the sea, the designer sought to reflect on three separate stages of her life so far in six pieces.Strength and bravery in expressing vulnerability is a concept that many people do not understand. The fear of being stripped off of what covers insecurities and defenselessness is perceived as weakness.The designer advocates for freedom of expression through this line.The three chapters of her line define how one **rises **from fears, drowning and scratching to reach the surface before they learn to float and eventually flow.Water, as an element, is versatile. It is both healing and destructive. A force to befriend, as well as a force to be reckoned with.Through this, her designs show pieces constructed with both structure and fluidity- two elements that are not commonly together.This collection was created as a debut collection for Style Visionary Collective where the designer is a pioneer member of.
