SM Lanang Premier Commemorates the National Barong Week With a T’nalak Exhibit
Davao’s premier shopping and lifestyle hub – SM Lanang Premier – will be joining the rest of the nation in celebrating this year’s National Barong Week as well as the 116th Philippine Independence Day. From June 6 to 12, it will be placing on exhibit a collection of classic Barongs made from T’nalak fabric.
Organized in partnership with Tagum Agricultural Development Corporation, Inc. (TADECO), the exhibit called ‘Pinoy Fashion: The T’nalak Barong Exhibit’ will feature the T’nalak Barong collections of Davao-based architect Michael Ebro Dakudao and fashion designer Emi Englis. It aims to showcase the Philippine national costume and impart appreciation for the T’nalak cloth, the traditional tapestry made by indigenous peoples in Mindanao.
At the center of the exhibit is a 4×8 T’nalak piece inspired by the Philippine flag. It was woven by T’boli weavers in Lake Sebu but sewn in Davao.
The public is invited to view the ‘Pinoy Fashion: T’nalak Barong Exhibit,’ which will be officially launched on June 6 at 5 pm. A live T’nalak weaving demonstration will also take place during the event.
On June 12, Davaoeños are called to join the Independence Day Flag-Raising Ceremony at 9 am at Open Parking B and groove to the music of Filipino singer-songwriter Marion Aunor as she plays live on the grand piano at the Atrium at 5 pm.
As an Independence Day treat, shoppers can enjoy the Pinoy Fun Sale at SM Lanang Premier on June 12 and get up to 70% off on selected items.
