Speaking of Wildest Dreams, Lustre has created merch for her album. In partnership with TriArt (CO)lab, a contemporary label that celebrates the local art scene, the singer successfully released a collection manufactured through "slow fashion" which encourages slower production schedules, provides fair wages to workers, lessens carbon footprints, and zero waste.

TriArt, an end-to-end design, production, and retail lab, believes that teaming up with local talents and bringing their art to life are the first two steps in promoting a healthier culture between independent creatives and consumers.

“It’s been a long and worthwhile journey in producing this (co)lab for Nadine’s Wildest Dreams album,” TriArt shared. “We provide the utmost attention to detail in fit, feel, and design application to bring the level of quality of each garment to the highest standard, which ripples across all of the pieces of the collection.”

3. She's An Environmentalist

For her environmental efforts, Nadine graced Tatler Philippines' annual sustainability issue. In her interview, the actress explained how small steps can make a long-lasting impact when it comes to taking care of the planet. “Just like the story of the hummingbird, I thought that even in my small way, there was something I could do to help. I want to see the world become a better place,” she shared, referring to the fable made famous by the late Kenyan Nobel Peace Prize laureate and professor Wangari Maathai. It tells of a hummingbird that, despite being the smallest creature in a burning forest, tries to extinguish the flames by bringing as much water as possible. “That story touched my heart,” she added.
