Frequently Asked Questions

John Herrera showed the Armada collection on day two of MEGA Fashion Week S/S ’18, created with Epson and inspired by cartography and the age of exploration. The pieces included corset-like silhouettes, tiered printed looks, statement neckpieces and a textured black gown, described as avant-garde.

Corset-like pieces highlight the waist, as in the Against All Odds look from John Herrera’s collection. The structured shape defines the waistline and gives an outfit a dramatic, tailored silhouette. The approach suits evening occasions, statement dressing and anyone wanting more structure in a look.

Update a classic black gown with textured details, as in the Wicked look from John Herrera’s collection. Texture adds depth and interest to a single-color gown without changing its silhouette or color, keeping the dress familiar while making it feel new for evening occasions.

Printed looks in multiple tiers can help you look and feel tall, as in the Consumed look from John Herrera’s collection. The feature presents the tiered print as a way to add height and drama to an evening outfit, with the printed fabric carrying the look.

John Herrera is a Manila-based fashion designer who won the 2015 London Emerging Designer Awards. He has partnered with Epson on collections made with digital textile printing, which he has said helps reduce fabric waste and fits his “no-waste, no plastic” design approach.
