The Grand Hausse, a fashion house nestled in the heart of the Philippines, presents a captivating fusion of European elegance and rich Filipino heritage. Their unique approach to fashion, evident in their signature faceless masks adorning mannequins and murals, challenges the prevailing need for external validation.
Micah Sy, the founder, explains the significance of these masks: “The masks worn by our models represent a deliberate detachment from ego and the superficial judgments of society. By covering their faces, we emphasize that what truly matters is not what others see in you, but what we know and feel within ourselves; it’s about expressing and remembering who we truly are.” This powerful message underscores the house’s core values and serves as a constant reminder to embrace individuality.
Beyond the symbolic masks, The Grand Hausse offers a collection that seamlessly blends European comfort and quality with traditional Filipino artistry. Their blouses, reimagined in the styles of the iconic Barong Tagalog, are crafted from premium European fabrics, offering a modern twist on a timeless classic. These garments, made from breathable, lightweight textiles, ensure a relaxed fit that transitions effortlessly from day to night and casual to formal occasions.
The collection extends to Terno dresses, tops, and bottoms, embracing bold, vibrant colors typical of European aesthetics. Each piece is adorned with Filipino-inspired embroideries, showcasing ethnic, geometrical, and floral patterns that pay homage to the Philippines’ diverse ethnic groups. This delicate balance between European sophistication and Filipino heritage creates a distinctive visual identity that captivates the eye.
The Grand Hausse’s commitment to cultural bridging and stylistic innovation is further evident in their accessories. These exquisite pieces add a touch of European elegance and refinement to each ensemble, transforming them into unique statement pieces. The boutique itself is an embodiment of this fusion, housing a selection of jewelry, home living wares, and an in-house Designer cafe that further emphasizes the European-Filipino fashion on plate established by the founder.
