The “Queen of Knitwear” Lulu Tan Gan

Like an erupting volcano, the name Lulu Tan Gan took the fashion world like free-flowing lava. Since then she has become a household name and joined the ranks of international couturiers.

Dubbed the “Queen of Knitwear,” dahlings, Lulu’s sensational knitwear fashion done in piña and silk was well received here and abroad.

In her latest Banig Collection, Lulu has merged the old-world sophistication of Philippine artisan craft with contemporary designs. The result is a mastery of construction — current yet ingenious lifestyle dressing, and distinctive feminine sensibility.

The collection features caftans done in silk and cotton. Hand-dyed, the silk strips are hand-woven in ocean colors. Lightweight, easy-to-pack and easy-to-wear, these coordinates are best for travel. Check it out at the Fashion Walk, ground floor, Greenbelt 5.

Take your well-deserved bow, Lulu, dahling, for your amazing contribution to the world of fashion.
