Kultura celebrates “Barong for Everyone” by highlighting how it has evolved through the years to become the outfit of choice for many Filipinos, from office workers to the stylish set to presidents.
Brian Poe Llamanzares With his work as Senate Chief of Staff and chairman of disaster relief NGO Panday Bayanihan, Brian Poe Llamanzares represents a new generation of public service in Kultura’s heather-black cocoon barong with bold white geometric embroidery.
It’s not surprising, as the barong’s lightweight fabric, sleek shape, and comfortable cut make it perfect for tropical climates like ours. Besides that, embroidery, appliques, and other embellishments highlight its fashion possibilities, even for women, who have made it part of their Filipiniana and formal-wear wardrobes.
Since then, we have had short-sleeved polo barongs preferred by office workers made with linen, ramie or cotton, as well as shirt-jack barongs popularized by politicians.
