According to Oscar Oida’s “24 Oras” report Thursday, furniture and textile designers Franny Capone and Elise McMahon, whose work was featured by Vogue, received backlash for not recognizing that Filipinos had long been making these products.
McMahon said they would try to learn more about it in their efforts to shed light on global fast fashion waste in the United States. “Through these comments last night and today, I learned about this amazing weaving style, ‘basahan,’ using T-shirt material that has long been happening in the Philippines and have been rushing to educate myself since,” said the designer.
“This project we just announced is intended to motivate and share info about global fast fashion waste with the American public as we have a huge habitual waste problem.”
Be creative! Why not make ones with pictures of rrd or bong go or harry?
The weavers said they’re happy to see the designs being known in other parts of the world, but they also hoped their work would get the same recognition and value.
