The Jerome Lorico LUX ET SAL SS/27 collection transformed the MNL Fashion Week runway to a dialogue between past and future basked in white sand and tones of waves in the background, the sculptural knitwear and tactile fabrics embodied silhouettes that are primal yet refined—fluid drapes and oversized knits balance softness with structure, evoking garments that feel both ancient and forward-looking.

The palette leans into monochrome depth—grays, blacks, and muted blues—allowing texture and form to take center stage. Pinstripes, ribbed knits, and pleated layers create a rhythm of movement, while accessories like woven bags and fringed details ground the looks in natural, elemental craft.

This is fashion as memory and projection—an exploration of heritage through materiality, and a vision of tomorrow shaped by the tactile wisdom of the past. The runway becomes not just a showcase of clothes, but a meditation on continuity, resilience, and the artistry of reduction.

Check out the highlights of the collection with photos by Chapters by Mayad. Visit www.mnlfashionweek.com to see all the looks from the collection.
