Peek into the mood board of the Philippines' Queen of Knitwear
The first two decades of Lulu Tan- Gan’s career in fashion is marked by her iconic knitwear, which redefined the versatility of knits for the Philippine fashion industry. Through amalgamating knits and piña, which the artisanal designer has been doing since 2007, she translates traditional crafts to contemporary wear.
But where does this creative genius draw inspiration from? She has fallen in love with fashion-forward cities such as Paris, Shanghai and Antwerp, which gave her a peek into the wonderful world of design and style. "My most memorable trip was my first visit to Paris in 1983," she says, tagging beautiful spots in the City of Light such as the Musée Rodin and Musée des Arts Décoratifs as her favourites. In Antwerp and Manila, she adores the ModeMuseum and the Museum of Contemporary Art & Design (MCAD), respectively.
