“For me personally, as a Filipino-American, woman-owned business, it’s an honor to be featured at Neiman Marcus, a respected fashion institution where I worked during college and learned everything I know about luxury goods, couture, and high fashion. Being invited for this special exhibition during AAPI Heritage Month is a full-circle moment for me, and by shining the spotlight on our collaboration partners, we celebrate their talent and how it can blend beautifully with the art of the kimono.”
