Barong Tagalog in Colorful Hues

In the Philippines, Barong Tagalog is the traditional Filipino formal wear for men. It is usually made of piña or jusi- two native fabrics. The barong was popularized as formal wear by Philippine President Ramon Magsaysay, who wore it to most official and personal affairs, including his inauguration as president.

These days, some have shifted from the conventional white and plain Barong Tagalog to black tuxedo/formal suit. In striving to keep the Filipino tradition alive, some of the country's wedding designers incorporated colors and designs to give the Barong Tagalog a fresh, modern image.

Below are samples of modern take to the Barong Tagalog:

Lumban Embroidery with Piñaflor

Lumban is known as the "Embroidery Capital of the Philippines". The art of hand-embroidering Barong and Saya has been the main specialty of the residents of Lumban.

Piñaflor, an embroidery business in Lumban, continues to support hand-embroidery and the use of piña fiber in making traditional Filipino wedding dress.  Nowadays, most designers would use modern gown fabric but Dra. Rhodora Peñaflor Añonuevo has chosen to preserve this tradition.
