BEAUTY IS A POWERFUL ANCIENT WORD THAT TRANSCENDS OUR PSYCHE, OUR SOCIETIES, AND THE WAY WE PERCEIVE AND INTERPRET MANY THINGS IN OUR WORLD. WE USE BEAUTY TO JUDGE, TO EMPOWER, TO MANIPULATE, AND TO GIVE HOPE. BUT HOW DO WE RECOGNIZE BEAUTY? IT IT THE STRANGE? IS IT THE MUNDANE? IS IT THE FAMILIAR? IS IT THE UNCANNY?
TO FIND BEAUTY IS TO FIND SOMETHING PLEASING, AND TO FIND SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS FINDING THAT SATISFYING FEELING INSIDE YOU. THAT, FOR ME, IS BEAUTY IN ITS RAWEST FORM. THIS BOOK IS NOT TO DISSECT, STUDY OR ANALYZE THE STANDARDS OF BEAUTY. IT IS A COMPILATION, A MICRO SLICE OF THE SUBJECTIVE VISUAL REPRESENTATIONS OF BEAUTY INTERPRETED BY ALL THE IMAGE-MAKERS THAT ARE INVOLVED AND IN THIS ISSUE.
AMIEL NOBLE OF NOBLE CREATIONS turns the immigrant dream into something you can see, touch, and wear, carrying the embroidery traditions of Lumban, Laguna from humble beginnings to fashion week runways, flagship boutiques, and a growing legacy of Filipino craftsmanship in America. In this interview, Noble reflects on the homesickness, sacrifice, and vision behind his brand, while his longtime ambassador Enchong Dee brings that story to life in Los Angeles through barongs reimagined with quiet luxury, street sensibility, and unmistakable Filipino pride.
