Her Inspiration
From war trophy to goodwill symbol, the inspiration of Joyce Penas Pilarsky's collection is the victory of the return of the Balangiga Bells to the Philippines. The bells were taken by the Americans as war booty from the town of Balangiga in the province of Eastern Samar during the Philippine-American War of 1901. The bells originated from the town of Balangiga in the province of Eastern Samar. From Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray’s Filipino cultures & textile-inspired gowns and outfits to this new collection by the Award Winning International Fashion and Jewelry Designer Joyce Penas Pilarsky. Another Filipina pride who slayed the London Fashion Week runway show.
