Enticed to pursue further studies and better employment options, Filipinos have flocked to the United Kingdom. Hundreds of thousands work in the health-care, hospitality and housekeeping industries, with a vast majority settling in London.
One of Doncaster’s enterprising Filipino-British residents, Lou Mary Tomsczyk knows that even if her kababayans have managed to adapt to the British way of life, they still long for a glimpse of home. So together with Marie Fairbank, CEO of Parkfleet Consultancy and Services Ltd. and a leading figure in the Fil-Brit community, Tomsczyk organized the “First South Yorkshire-Doncaster Fashion Show Dinner Event” at the Hilton Garden Inn on February 25.
“I just want to showcase Filipino design and Filipino traditional gowns, suits and barongs in the UK,” Layson, who is also a talent manager and the owner of TCMI Fashion Academy Philippines, said of his “Ani [Harvest]” collection. “As a young fashion designer, I just want to show the world the best version of myself and take inspiration from the world around me to create fresh and original designs.
“Another reason why we organized the event in Doncaster is because there has never been a Filipino fashion-dinner event ever held in Yorkshire. Most of all, it was to help Filipino designers be known outside London,” says Tomczyk. “With the fashion-show platform, we intend to promote Philippine tourism.”
