The fashion show opens the Filipino art exhibition in Sydney which will feature other indigenous Filipino arts and culture, artists and performances that would run until November.

 

AGNSW's Deputy Director and Director of Collections Maud Page welcomed all the guests as she officially opens the Filipino art exhibit at the Gallery.

 

And we catch up with Connie Atijon, the primary weaver of all the Filipino fashion dresses paraded during yesterday's show.
