Carl Jan Cruz Vol. II at Univers

A continued narrative co-authored by UNIVERS and Carl Jan Cruz. This collaboration is rooted in the contemporary Filipino, and outlines both brands’ commitment to the evolving dialogue of craftsmanship and design.

Expressed through a refined take on texture and form, this capsule collection takes on familiar silhouettes and introduces a series of explorations in textile development and form—a cocoon-shaped pilot pleated jacket in selvedge denim, a washed tencel coat, a crushed tea-dyed silk shantung dress, and CJC Pambahay Pique styles in heavy jersey pique.
