Designer Discovery: Kermit Tesoro

[images 1-3 via au courant daily; image 4 via designboom]

Wowza! Who is this guy? Until a few days ago, the only Kermit I was familiar with was of the fuzzy green variety.

This young Filipino designer recently showed his Holiday 2010 collection in his home country, and it's quite reminiscent of McQueen - avant garde to say the least. And something about those skull heels reminds me a bit of the Rodarte/Nicholas Kirkwood collaboration.

I can't seem to find a Tesoro website, but I just friended him on Facebook. Think he'll accept?

  5. Wow, know what I just realized? "Tesoro" means "treasure" in Spanish. Indeed a treasure. :-D

  6. Thanks, Amandalee! Never would have known about Tesoro. (I was the silly kid that took French - totally useless.)
