I. OVERVIEW OF PATIS TESORO’S LIFE
A. Beatriz ‘Patis’ Tesoro is an artist and fashion
designer, social activist, serial entrepreneur and lifestyle
icon. She was born on December 29, 1950 in Iloilo City.
Even at 70, she is still bursting with creative energy in
using her artistry to protect and assert what it means to
be Filipino. That’s why she’s known as the Grand Dame
of Philippine Fashion.
B. The twin drive to preserve what we had and re-cast it
for the next generation has deep roots. In the 1950s, she
learned from her mother Nena Fabella Pamintuan, a
stylish woman of means, who was a kustorera (or a
dressmaker) during post-war in Iloilo. From high school
classes at the convent school Assumption in Iloilo, Patis
learned to embroider, thus opening her eyes to the
intricacies of the craft and the art of embellishment.
C. Her transformation as a heritage fashion designer began in the 1980s when she joined the Patrones de Casa
Manila. At museum events, the patrones had to wear the traditional Filipino dress to depict the lifestyle and
home of Filipino ilustrados living in Intramuros in the 17th and 18th century. Donning the baro’t saya, she was
struck by the artistry that went into the layering of fabric upon fabric (panuelo over baro over camisa; and tapis
over saya over anagua) and the contrasts of textures, patterns, and embellishments that came with each layer.
She recognized that while the layered ensemble was a testament to our ancestor’s sense of style and ingenuity,
very few still knew how to put the ensemble together. For the tradition to stay alive, she believed the baro’t
saya had to become part of modern day life.
D. The revival of the Filipino national dress in its different forms was not just a fashion designer’s challenge;
Patis took on a social activist role when she discovered that many of the traditional fabrics used by our ancestors
were disappearing. In particular, the decline in the production of piña fabric, which is used for the baro and
barong, alarmed her.
In the 1990s, Patis collaborated with First Lady Amelita Ramos through the Katutubong Filipino Foundation,
a non-profit organization, which aimed to revive indigenous Filipino arts and crafts. She travelled all over the
country to research on handicraft production techniques from various ethnic tribes and communities.
E. The act of donning the traditional baro’t saya when she joined the Patrones de Casa Manila in the ’80s led
to a personal epiphany for the woman who has become one of the strongest advocates for heritage conservation
in the country. Since then, she has championed the revival of the country’s national attire by raising awareness
on traditional fabrics such as piña and local cotton.
F. Tesoro once stated, “If we lose what is integral to being Filipino—our dress, our food, our homes—then we
lose who we are.” These simple words perfectly encapsulate the need to uphold our culture, heritage, and pride
in our national identity.
