I have seen the dresses by Mak Tumang more than once on the Internet. The amazing and unusual outfits pleased my eye, I wanted to examine then, but when I wanted to know about the designer a bit more, unfortunately I found only his photo, almost nothing else. So I began to look for the information about him in foreign sources, I think many people will be interested to know about the author of these dresses.
So, meet Mak Tumang — a young Filipino designer. He has 5 brothers and sisters. Since his early childhood, Mak has been attracted to art, architecture, uniqueness of nature. He studied Production Design in the De La Salle — College of Saint Benilde.
In the years of training he constantly created costumes for plays, pageants, concerts and shows. He became a semi-finalist in one of the prestigious Philippine fashion and design competitions.
The designer is incredibly inspired by buildings and costumes from different eras. He has a unique vision of the world and of female beauty. Mak Tumang is not afraid to experiment with fabrics and textures. He prefers ecofriendly and natural fabrics. He believes that they convey the beauty and harmony of nature.
Since 2011 he has been a member of The Young Designers Guild of the Philippines.
Many people have noted his unusual vision of bridal fashion.
For his works the author uses ornaments of historical costumes, flowers, beads, lace, stones. He prefers tulle, silk, organza, satin. And, of course, it is impossible not to mention embroidery in all of his works.
I am waiting for your impressions. If you like my work, like this publication.
With love, Mary Lovarty.
