Moylan-Tantoco PangOkasyon 2025 🙏🏽

Siobhan in her Carl Jan Cruz PangOkasyon wedding look.

The Dress
A tea-dyed dress constructed from the inside out—a PangOkasyon vision realized through months of sculpting, dyeing, distressing, and layering. In true Siobhan fashion, the final form was deeply personal: a mini-dress that served as both foundation and dress form. Tailored with zero allowance and sculpted directly to her frame, it fit like a second skin. It began with a corseted structure and unfolded into a cocoon-like silhouette to strike a balance between softness and precision.

The Veil
A bolero that evolved into a beaded veil—a molded bonnet that seamlessly drapes over the shoulders, merging with the outer layer of the dress to evoke a sense of continuity.

The Barong
Inspired by a traditional barong, this layered garment is made of piña, mesh and abaca silk. It follows conventional barong construction with the inclusion of a bib outline on the front of the garment. However, this barong diverges from tradition in terms of its pattern and embroidery. A new pattern was created for Christian, its shape and panels resembling more of a tailored blazer. The embroidery was done by hand with satin thread, with shapes that mirror our in-house flower pattern. They are dispersed throughout the garment– adorning the front and back, while also being sandwiched between the piña and mesh. The tailored pattern provides the barong with structure, while the layered embroidery allows for lightness. Putting this garment up against the sunlight exposes the skeletal layers of thread, piña and mesh.

The Trousers
Made from the same layered fabrication as the barong, the trousers feature uneven panelling of piña, mesh and abaca silk– allowing for differences in stiffness depending on the layers included. The trousers also mimic the same behavior as the barong when placed against sunlight, allowing all the panel differences to be highlighted.

Feeling moody — reimagining familiar silhouettes 💭

While the works are undeniably contemporary in their sensibility, they also see the house at its most nostalgic. Which historical eras and figures informed the collection?  

CJC — “It all came from a balance of personal and creative direction. Rather than a specific time or person, it was more about our feelings of a greater nostalgia, and making them into something tangible through a compression of Filipino timelines.”

After 10 years of collection-making and research as a brand, we realize that we are deeply influenced by the individuals who wear our clothing, recognizing their innate ability to express their own visions through our clothing— seeing the brand not just as a wardrobe of garments, but as a way of living and being.
