Filipino Fashion Designer Joyce Peñas Pilarsky is set to unveil her eco-friendly collections in support of Ethical Luxury during London Fashion Week

 "I am excited to showcase my work at Ecoluxe London catwalk during the London Fashion Week. I want to show the world that our Philippine eco-fabrics can be worn beautifully, you can be fabulous wearing it and of course very friendly to our skin and our environment. My collection brings a lot of happiness; every piece has an intricate design with embroideries, sequence, semi precious stones, crystals and pearls. Mostly hand sewn and made with a lot of passion and love. My unique and high fashion dresses and accessories are inspired by the beauty of nature which offers a variety of looks. I wanted to emphasize the magnificence of the materials used which includes: Abaca, Inabel Iloco, Pineapple Fiber, natural stones, black stones, crystals, agate stones, murano glass, mamay shells and wood beads. These elegant and timeless collections can be worn for any special occasions, for offices, special gifts or for just everyday. It’s time to get back to the roots of the earth with these natural, organic looks. I want to encourage everyone to show your love to our mother earth by simply wearing pieces inspired by the natural world." - (Joyce Pilarsky - Fashion Designer)
